Wondering WTH Heavy J Studios is? Sparkly baseball card art at its finest, that’s all! ✨

Anyone interested in a Jackie card? I'll definitely sell 54/55 and leaning towards keeping the 53 but if I get "stuck" w 56 that's more than fine. I have a bunch of cheaper slabs, a ton of raw 56s, 70s and 80s sets. If you're in the market for anything lmk 🍻

Maybe the best episode of any podcast my wife and I ever listened to.

Kevin's childhood was a hard one. But it was made bearable by his neighborhood friends, Jason and Gerald. Then, one afternoon, the boys just vanished. Over thirty years later, Kevin still hasn't forgo...

Huge shout out to heavyjstudios.bsky.app

This legend sent me a 2006 Clayton Kershaw along with a nice personal note.

Best part of the hobby are moments like these. Thanks!

For CNN I'm looking to talk to young men (feel free to interpret "young" broadly) who are actively sports betting sober—as in, you made a conscious decision to abstain for your wellbeing or you quit gambling—but are still sports fans. If that's you: Hannah[dot]keyser[at]cnn[dot]com

On this day in 1988, Carl Hubbell passed away at the age of 85. Best remembered for a devastating screwball, he was one of the best pitchers of his era. He also happens to be a personal favorite. Here’s my painting of him warming up before the 1934 All-Star Game at the Polo Grounds.

One of the great pre-war mysteries are these handcrafted cards using silhouettes of seemingly either E94 Close Candy or M131 Baltimore News cards. I've seen 2-3 of these and have heard of a collector with several more. Backs signed by someone named Richard Montague. Here's my Red Murray. #Cardsky

As always on the birthdays of both Rick Monday and Jay Johnstone, we honor one of the greatest quartets in baseball history - the Big Blue Wrecking Crew.

After at least 15 years of trying, I have finally finished the Tigers World Series program inserts from 2004 Topps with these last two cards

Theme song to the Heavyweight podcast computes the reciprocal of the speed of light! ☀️

“Take 8 minutes and divide (sun in an empty room)
By 90,000,000 lonely miles (sun in an empty room)
Watch the shadow cross the floor (sun in an empty room)
We don't live here anymore…”

I think this is the first mayoral transition team trading card set in history! 👀
Meet our Transition Co-chairs: Grace Bonilla, Lina Khan, Maria Torres-Springer and Melanie Hartzog.

Each is a remarkable, innovative and principled leader with a deep commitment to public service. It’s an honor to have them on our team that will deliver our affordability agenda.

Will slowly post my hits from an afternoon of cardboard debauchery. First up are two beauties @seank138.bsky.social picked up for me from @mightylark.bsky.social. Coincidentally it was Orel who threw out the first pitch and Sho who was the SP at the WS game I went to this year.

#MailDay 2 of 2 completes the Hero Decks Kirk Gibson run with his terrific Detroit Tigers card. No word yet on if Royals and Pirates deck updates will include Gibby.

#MailDay 1 of 2 brings me some 1960s Dodgers I need for my team sets I’m not really working on.

Unreal!
This is a *ridiculous* TD run from Oregon's Noah Whittington but he lost the ball crossing the goal line - on review they said he had enough control on recovery to keep it a TD
