He is famously known to have consumed 100 beers on an LA-Boston cross-country flight. I think the number of dots in the sky may be a reference to this story.

Obviously if I pick one, it means the other two guys suck, right? Soto's my guy, but I am a huge fan of Tatis. I appreciate Acuna, but have him a notch below the other two.

None taken. Even a blind squirrel occasionally finds an acorn. As a Canadian I am qualified to say don't waste your time on hockey if you're looking to make money, it's a wasteland.

Unwritten rules are so stupid. Don't play your #1 Power Play in the playoffs when you're up big (recent complaint from the Flyers vs. Habs for the non-hockey fans). Don't swing on 3-0 when you're up...

I'm naive when it comes to basketball, but do they reliably sell above the $30 retail price? If so, how much? It's probably not worth my time if they get $40/box, but may be worthwhile if I can get...

I'm almost exclusively a baseball and hockey collector. I went to Walmart this morning looking for restocked Topps Chrome baseball, but they were sold out. There was a fresh display...

1. Don't invest in sports cards. Buy them for fun, but don't count on future income/growth, they're too volatile to risk long-term savings.

The four Gleybers are so far out in front they would ruin the poll. It'd be like asking to choose between a Mike Trout rookie card lot, or a Dylan Bundy autographed baseball.

Which Foursome do you prefer?

Simple question for the forum. Which do you prefer, the four t206 Ty Cobbs or the four 1933 Goudey Babe Ruths? Assume they're all in the same grade (let's say a 4) and roughly the same price.

I admit I don't know the 2016 class, I only got back into the hobby in 2017. I think the top 3-4 players in each class are remarkably close, but 2018 wins on sheer depth. Once you get past the big...

As much as I love talking modern cards, there isn't enough on this forum dedicated to the history of baseball. To say this is fantastic is an understatement. This is a true work of art.

What’s the best Topps flagship since 2012

I specifically chose this year to avoid the monster 2011 Update. Simple question, what’s the best (define it however you would like) Topps flagship set (series 1, series 2, or update) since 2012? ...

Hi base set. As far as I am aware, they made two SSP Acunas in the 2018 Update set, both with the same ~300 production run. In addition to these two, there is also the standard SP with the higher...
