Yesterday I received the 2025 Topps Chrome McDonald's All American mega box for winning the @MantelHQ Women's March Madness Bracket. I let my son rip the packs this morning. Got a few good cards for him to add to his trade binder!

I was cleaning up my Saved Items list on eBay a couple of weeks ago and ran across a listing for. a card I had completely forgotten was on my wish list. I started searching eBay for copies of the card and to my great surprise came across a signed copy so I quickly added to my cart and it arrived today!

I'm thrilled to find cards that use a photo I've taken but finding one that is signed (and didn't me small cost a fortune to buy) was extra special.

I've had my eye on this card for a while and finally grabbed one from an eBay seller who was offering it at a much lower price than the other sellers.

I was assigned to cover a Minnesota Twins game back in 2019, it was the first MLB game I had ever covered and I didn't know until I got to the ballpark and talked to the media relations folks that Nelson Cruz was on the cusp of 400 career home runs. One of the decisions I had to make was how I wanted to shoot Cruz's at bats. I made the decision to shoot his at bats with a wide angle lens to try to capture the moment in context. As he rounded the bases I switched to a longer lens to grab some tighter celebration shots which resulted in the photo that was used on his Topps NOW card.

My 8 year old pulled an Ethan’s Ho-Oh art rare from the new Destined Rivals set yesterday at our local card shop’s prerelease tournament. The best part was seeing how excited he was (his hands were shaking) and seeing how excited two of his friends that were also there for the tournament were for him (they were the only kids at the tournament.)

Received the Topps Chrome McDonald's All American mega box from winning the March Madness bracket in the mail over the weekend.

Pulled a couple of base Cooper Flagg cards, a base LeBron James and a numbered Aiden Sherrell (07/50) Drive-Thru Service gold raywave refractor.

Thanks again @MantelHQ!
