Went to the Dollar Tree today for the first time in a very long time. Donruss pack of 5 cards for $1.25. Don’t remember seeing this before, but probably just missed it. Topps needs to do something like this to get it back at a kid’s price range.

Darn good pack too.
Johnny Bench!?

Cool. Mine will be mostly for books, but I’m glad to hear you’re happy with them.

Finished painting yesterday, so tomorrow is all about the IKEA Allen wrenches.

We finally got Wawa here in Florida and they don’t have hotdogs. I like to think this is why they’re not number one.

Photo of a Kansas City Chiefs press conference with Andy Reid, Travis Kelce, and Patrick Mahomes. Reid is wearing a gray suit and red tie with a lapel pin. Kelce is wearing a camp-style short-sleeved shirt with a bird print, along with a  suede cap, and Mahomes is wearing a white collared shirt, a pink checkered double-breasted vest, and a pale pink tie.

We matched on Votto and Bench. On Mastodon I do shoutouts to alternate choices. Today’s:

Red shoutouts: Jose Rijo, Ken Griffey Sr., Ernie Lombardi, Frank McCormick, Paul O’Neill, Hal Morris, Hal McRae, Hal Chase, & Lee May.

Non-Red: legendary Chicago Bears Hall of Famer George Halas!

Grew up in central Florida. I’ve been to games for the following:

Orlando Americans, AFA, 1981
Orlando Renegades, USFL, 1985
Orlando Thunder, WLAF, 1991
Florida Tuskers, UFL, 2009
Orlando Apollos, AAF, 2019

This new UFL also announced a team in Orlando, so I’ll be adding to this list. Excited!

We matched on Old Hoss! I was doing a B&W thing with Bug & Hod, but damn the S. Larkin & Mario Soto pairing is great.

Just learned (relearned?) that there is a 1990 set of Professional Bowlers Association cards from “Kingpins.” Bunch of unopened packs my brother found and gave me (he doesn’t collect).

The set includes a card for Guppy Troup. The movie “Kingpin” didn’t come out until 1996. Amazing!

Photo of 1990 Kingpin card for Guppy Troup.  He looks like a 1970s swinger refugee with chains and inside sunglasses, but with a polo shirt.  His hair anticipates the Bill Murray character from the movie Kingpin.  It is of its time, but more so.

Hey hobby fam! Time for another Sunday #giveaway thread!

If you could receive one card from another #thehobby fam member, what would it be?

Keep requested cards under $30 in value. Please post cards you can give, & RT to share with others. #cardsky #generosity #cards4free

Matched on Luque and we both had Concepcion & Rijo. Geronimo is a great pick.

Enjoy your Saturday!

Made a mess of mine by mistaking which square I was in. I assure you that I knew Johnny Bench was never a Cub.

We were both doing catcher things—matched on Bench and Bo Diaz.

Asked the LLM if WAR is useful for Hall of Fame ballots. It insisted WAR was good for “absolutely nothing!” Then insisted on saying it again.
