Card Collector since '75. Fantasy sports writer for 20 years at CBS, SI, MLB.com, NFL.com & The Athletic. The only reason I started playing fantasy in 1989 was to "collect" these players on my team!

My Caitlin Clark Collection Grows!

Last night, I pulled a Green Prizm out of a 4-pack tin, to go with the Light Blue Silver Prizm last week, and the two other base rookies I pulled a couple weeks ago.

It’s crazy that I’ve pulled a Caitlin card each time I bought something. Not sure how long that streak continues!

Torpedo Jazz! Orange Rainbow Foil / 25

Pulled this out of a 2025 Topps Series 1 jumbo — I’ve always like Jazz Chisholm, but dang if those torpedo bats don’t make me like him more!

This is for sale, btw! $35

ALWAYS Buy the Last Blaster on the Shelf!

This 2024 Prizm WNBA Monopoly Caitlin Clark Light Blue Silver /199 is one of the best cards I’ve pulled over the past year.

This was officially a “sick” rip, as I bought this blaster while waiting for my prescriptions to be filled after visiting the doctor.

I’m feeling better!
