No bombs (JUST missed the leadoff HR) but 2 more runs scored.

all part of the process

Results aren't there but he definitely looks better. Hope he finds some good adjustments during the break.

I think the break is coming at the perfect time for him. Let him reset with the bat and giving his arm a mini break before starting to get stretched out even more 2nd half. Despite the unspectacular last couple weeks hitting, still on pace for another MVP season.

I picked up a new Sho. It was my first Dodger Sho card so I figure I might as well go black flagship.

Every time I think I've seen every Shohei Topps rookie a new random one appears. Geez

Absolutely gorgeous card, and to think Topps was going to trash the black parallels, they are so out of touch with their own products...

BLACK!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah I'm definitely old school and love simple color parallels. Black has been a staple for years and is just a classic. Now there are black foil and a bunch of other stuff that I don't really care for.

Also, I was looking for 2025 Topps Heritage gold chromes and saw they were numbered to 50 when it's been out of 5 forever. Stuff like that just irks me.

Man, I do not like the Dodgers, but that is a beautiful baseball card with that color palette.

Agreed. It's nice and simple.

His black arm sleeve helps it pop

No sho day. Good time to post some random pick-ups

And a shockingly clean US285 raw. Probably won't gem the way PSA is grading but a 9 in no plastic today is a huge win

ThoseBackPages · 07-16-2025, 03:23 PM

RIP Fathers Day

Unreal. I looked at the 2025 Topps Parallels and was utterly disgusted. Confetti, all kinds of hilo foil colors, birds, rabbits, umbrellas, diamantes. Just ugh. Do people really still go for rainbows and collect this stuff?

Amazing stuff as always! The powder blue RD is one of my absolute favorites...

That was (and is) an amazing card! 2018 low serial parallels that pulled off 10s are something special. A very exclusive club within an exclusive club

. Packing conditions, pack location in the box, and transit had to be perfect!

Mind me asking the serial number? I have US1 thats 25/50. Thought it'ld be cool to find it's mate.

Single digits. No dice

Last day without baseball, fellas! Hang in there!
I recently grabbed a couple of the newer SSPs I was missing.

Nice GMs!

Nice SSPs (GMs)! Never really looked close but the 2025 looks like it's a jersey swatch with no swatch. Strange, but nice image.
