My daughter found this at a thrift store. Narrated by play by play man Monte Moore, this album was released in 1972 and has calls from the A’s championship season.

I dug up these 1991 Skybox Magic Johnson cards at my parents’ a while back. I love the off-court stuff they did way back then before it became so mainstream.

Layton just pulled the Beatles quad cut auto in their latest Transcendent break. I don’t want to seem pissy but I’m absolutely not surprised that they pulled it. I can’t imagine a small shop in De Moines having that case in their shop (If they ordered any). Thoughts on stacking the deck with certain shops with the biggest audiences? I get the visibility but it’s also a turn-off pretty much knowing the odds with some places are better than others.

I love the concept of Fanatics Live but have a couple issues with it…the wait between breaks seems to often go on for hours, so there’s nothing exciting to watch while the shops are pushing for people to jump into breaks. Prices in the vast majority of breaks are so damn high (I know it’s the market, not Fanatics Live) but I can’t be buying into a random break for $500. Amd the same people/shops/entities seem to be doing a lot of the buying. It just comes off as kind of odd, IMHO. Ok off my soapbox.

Before Caitlin Clark, there was Diana Taurasi. I pulled this in 2007 from Press Pass. It‘a a nice piece in the collection.
