I remember back when you could tell it’s a rookie card if his major league team line is only listed in the back once. I thought this was a rookie card but when I checked on eBay there was a Future Stars from 1987 available. My luck 😜

I’m realizing that my peak collecting years were when the “steroid allegations generation” players were rookies

Stumbled upon this rookie card for Joe Girardi. He never had a nickname as a player. I guess he didn’t have enough ‘flavor’ - who knows.

I think he’s a Chicago guy. Always solid behind the plate. He was great on the Yanks when they had him. I’m not sure if he won a ring with them though. I don’t think so.

Rumor on NYC sports talk radio is that the Steinbrenne’s didn’t like his honest post game press conferences with the media-when he would tell them which player needs to step up. Because then the media would double down on the player, what the Steinbrenners thought was more pressure on the player creating a vicious doom cycle.

He announces Yankee games now and is a fresh voice from his pragmatic experiences POV

At Wrigley Field today. Fulfilling my bucket list #1. As often as I’ve been to Chicago, I haven’t had the privilege to visit the storied confines of Wrigley Field. Today I’m finally here. To celebrate, I brought my 1990 Upper Deck Mark Grace. That card definitely catapulted my enjoyment of cards as kid. Those early Upper Decks certainly impacted me as a kid and has infleunced my continued enjoyment of The Hobby. Full circle today. Beyond grateful. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

One of my favorite pickups of 2025 is this Ryne Sandberg autographed 1983 Topps rookie card! I was fortunate enough to get this card via TTM before Ryne passed away. Rest in peace to a true legend! This card will definitely be a part of my collection for the foreseeable future, and I’ll be sending it off to PSA soon for grading.
