After realizing the Ultra Pro "Premium" sleeve scam, tried these @thepennysleever.bsky.social sleeves. They are the thicker, higher quality I was looking for. Advertising DOES work, as I heard about them from @junkwaxhero.bsky.social.

NOTE: I'm not being compensated, just sharing they're good.

I just discovered that @joeposnanski.com, the best sportswriter in America, not only subscribes to my silly little sports card newsletter, but he recommends it to his readers.

On purpose!

@nowiknow.com I take issue with your characterization of Doc Rivers as a protagonist. The most overrated coach in NBA history is almost always an antagonist.

Nice!

When in Maine, go to Don’s Sports Cards Center! The owner is a gem too.

Chad Finn @chadfinn.bsky.social · Jun 10

Really enjoyed this. Don's is the only one in the Portland area I've been to, and loved it. Had a lot of '77 football commons that I've wanted since I was 7.

It just adds a red squiggle under any misspelled word.

Now you know! 😊

It’s not perfect, as it doesn’t do grammar checks as far as I know. But it does the basic job.

I just use the Beehiiv spellcheck. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Mike - Junk Wax Hero @junkwaxhero.bsky.social · Jun 2

That’s interesting. I don’t have any issues with Beehiiv at all. And I’m probably on a lower support tier than you.

@nowiknow.com Looks like you forgot to turn your autocorrect back on for today. Great issue otherwise!

@sabrbbcards.bsky.social

Someone asked which college was on the jersey of the player running on the Frank Thomas Topps rookie card.

Pretty sure I learned this from you, but I couldn’t tag you over there.

The BEST part of the video is Mike (with an assist from @nyctaper.bsky.social ) SHOWING where part of Geoff Wilson’s rant & how he collected as a kid is a COMPLETE 180 from what Wilson’s said in the past.

How can anyone believe anything that spews from this guy’s mouth?
