No idea what year/game this photo is from, however, as I continue to battle left arm/shoulder pain from a fractured elbow, it seems appropriate for today's Freehan on Friday!
Have a fabulous Friday!
The first ever Happy Hoops Birthday! post is here, because, I saw that it was the 24th Birthday of my favorite WNBA hoopster, the amazing Caitlin Clark.
Don't have many of Caitlin's cards, but, I get them when I can.
This is the coolest thing I have of the former Iowa Hawkeye.
Happy Birthday, Caitlin! 🏀
On Wednesday Topps released Living Set Card #900, of Philadelphia Phillies legend Mike Schmidt.
This is such a great milestone for my favorite baseball cards.
Love the old school Phillies zip up sweaters, and that awesome ball cap.
My recent Living Set addition-
TOPPS Living Set Card #893

Hope everyone has a great weekend, thanks for taking the time to stop by and read my blog.
Play BALL! ⚾️

My All-Time favorite baseball book cover.
I've had this book, first, when I was a kid, around age 12, and, then, a couple of years ago, gifted to me by a fellow baseball fan.
The books have been lost over the years, first, do to moving stuff while I was in the Navy, in the mid 1980s, and, recently, after we lost our storage unit.
Hoping I can find another copy.
Have a great weekend, and, as always, Play BALL! 🐅 ⚾️
Been reading 2026 Card Collecting Resolution posts the last few days, and, although I'm horrible at them, I'd really like to get better.
🐅⚾️ Tigers Card Tuesday- I certainly need to improve on my weekly postings, and I resolve that I shall do a much better job of showcasing my Detroit Tigers cards.
⭐️ 2026 is the 75th Anniversary of Topps, and, I'm certainly looking forward to seeing what awesome cards Ill be able to collect, both physical, and, on all the Topps Digital Apps.
➡️ I'm pretty certain, along with the usual Detroit Tigers players in Series 1 Topps, I'm expecting that my favorite baseball pitcher, Matthew Boyd, will be in the Series 1 Flagship release next month.
⭐️ 2026 should be another awesome years for the Topps Living Set Cards, both baseball, and, the new basketball cards.
➡️ Tomorrow (1/07) will be the first 2026 Living Set card release.
Have a great week.
