Living Set Wednesday- Card 900!

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-

Freehan on Friday- Baseball Best Catchers

Freehan on Friday- 01/09/2026

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! 🐅 ⚾️

2026 Card Collecting Resolutions

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.
