Matthew Boyd is Back!

The 2025 big league season is well underway, and my favorite pitcher, Cubs lefty Matthew Boyd, is having a pretty good season so far.

👉 The former Tigers, Mariners, and Guardians pitcher is, after two years away, back in a set of baseball cards.

The last image of Matthew on a baseball card was last year.

👉 Topps Series 2 will be released on June 11th, and I'm very excited to see the image that was used for Matthew's card...I'll certainly be collecting the variations.

Tigers Card Tuesday- Catchers Card Binder/Gold Glove Winners

Been a while since my last Tigers Card Tuesday post, so, apologies up front. 

I've started a new collection...a binder of catcher's who've won a Gold Gold Glove Award. 

Starting with the first catcher to ever win FIVE consecutive GG Awards, and my baseball hero, Tigers backstop Bill Freehan.

👉👉👉👉After losing the original catchers card binder, I've been hesitant to start another one, however, this idea got me rethinking the decision. 

By no means do I think that I'll acquire a card from each GG winner, but, it certainly will be fun. 

Thanks for taking the time to stop by to read my blog, it's much appreciated.

The New Pope- First Ever American/ Topps NOW!

Today The Conclave in The Vatican selected a new Pope , just two days after it convened to elect a new Pontif to lead the Catholic Church. 

Topps will produce Topps NOW cards.

Cardinal Robert Prevost, born in Chicago, is the first ever American Pope, taking the name "Pope Leo XIV."

I'm not catholic, however, I'm getting a Topps NOW card of the American Pope, hoping, not expecting, a special "white smoke variant /267."

May God bless the newest leader of the Catholic Church.

p.s... apparently, the Pope is a fan of the White Sox.
