Prince Fielder is 41 years old, but hasn’t played since 2016 due to retiring after neck surgery. It’s a shame because he was putting together a nice career. His number 1 most similar player on Baseball Reference is, of course, Mo Vaughn.

Here he is pictured on his 2014 Topps 1989 Chrome, Die Cut Mini and Archives cards with the Rangers and his 2024 Topps 1989 Series 1, Autograph and Mojo Refractor with the Brewers. It’s a bummer there are no 1989 Topps cards of him with the Tigers.

Been seeing these in Walmart and wanted to give it a try… Spent 40$ what yall think ?

2024 Topps Tribute League Inauguration Elly DeLa Cruz

As a Reds fan, I’m still not 100% sure how I feel about Elly De La Cruz. When he’s on his own, he can absolutely take over a game—he’s electric, a true highlight-reel type of player. But he’s also been really inconsistent… it feels like he’s either all or nothing.

It reminds me of other Reds players who came on big but never quite lived up to the hype—guys like Aristides Aquino, Billy Hamilton, or even Homer Bailey, who had all the tools but couldn’t put it together for the long haul. Sometimes that early hype turns into stardom, sometimes it fades, but it’s always part of what makes this hobby fun.

I’d love nothing more than for Elly to be the guy who carries this Reds team into a new era. The question is—can he find that consistency to make it happen?

Today's arrival. Just need the 2023 gold to have the Kershaw Topps flagship run from 2009-25 complete.
