The Big Hurt was in Columbus, GA yesterday promoting his new line of T35 Vodka. I showed up with a copy of Auburn Jersey Rookie Card and he was happy to sign it. Friendly and eager to speak with fans.

I’ve been wearing Braves gear and collecting Chipper, Maddux and Acuña cards as fast as Topps could produce them. Saw this kid play, after reading a few box scores, and realized that the numbers weren’t deceiving. This Padre can play. This one is for the Personal Collection.

Pictures 1 and 2 are the Shohei end of a trade that I made with my local card shop. Pics 3 and 4 were the collateral plus $25 cash on top. I felt that this was a no brainer. All feedback from the community is appreciated. Happy collecting!

I finally found one. I haven’t had the opportunity to see one in person before today. I was waiting for the local Card Shop to asses and price the cards that I carried in for trade/sell. And there it was. IYKYK

Traded a handful of numbered, but ungraded 2025 Topps Series One for this B-E-A_utiful card. Plus, he’s not from this planet. So that’s cool too.
