Breaker bros and friends hogging the aisle as they (presumably) wait for Topps Update to drop. Boy, are they gonna be disappointed when they don't get that Gavin Williams 1/1.
Math was never my strongest subject in school, but I'm pretty certain 290 out of 608 cards does not constitute a "near" set.
A 1983 newspaper ad for the 1952 Topps reprint set. Geez, even Topps was trying to snow everyone into thinking the '52 Mantle was the "true" RC.
#celtics legend Dave Cowens wearing No. 33 sometime in the early 1970s, before Steve Kuberski made that number famous.
I still have my copy of this tome, although mine is pretty much in tatters from being pored over so much. #topps
A 1977 Bridgeport (Conn.) Telegram report of a baseball card show mentions the "high" $1,000 sale price for a 1952 Topps set. Uh, I'm just gonna go find a cash machine ...
Great dealer quote on the 1976 #Topps baseball set from a March 14, 1976 article in The (Trenton) Times. I definitely paid more than 10 bucks for my set.
I love the #WHA, but it had its struggles. From the Kingston (Ontario) Whig-Standard, Oct 10, 1974.
It's mid-December and I'm still getting splashy political mailings shoved into my door. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, PEOPLE, WHY?????
After 2-plus years, the AP still refers to X as "formerly Twitter." Can't wait until the World Series, when the Blue Jays face the "Los Angeles, formerly Brooklyn, Dodgers."
I wonder if anyone still considers Pete Rose a hero because he took out a hapless catcher in a meaningless midseason exhibition game. #MLBAllStarGame2025
2 CGs for the #RedSox in a week? Maybe today's starting pitchers aren't such wimps after all!
This ad was from the 1980 Sport Americana (Beckett) baseball card guide. $6.50 for 1979-80 Topps hockey? That's a lot of Gretzky for your $$$.
From a Reddit post about '89 Topps baseball. Um, if you're concerned about the environmental impact of baseball cards, ya might want to find another "hobby."
