As of about two weeks ago I fit in an XL for the first time since I can remember. Thats after nearly 50 lbs of weight loss.

I can't imagine the average hobbyist can reasonably rock a size L.

Us Gen X'ers are mostly grey, unshaven, and carrying around a whole lot of fast food gut.

Why would someone want anything Topps branded?

Crop-Topps.

I wholeheartedly do not want anyone in public to know I collect baseball cards.

I know you’re lying because the Somalian deli with the tacos only sells Panini.

It's really troubling that there is no equivalent to Wembanyama (2023) Maye, Daniels, and Williams (2024). This year has to be a new low-tide for these non-baseball figures. And the non-current baseball players list feels like they are just running it back.

Sad. Ginter brought me back to the hobby and it's now making me think it's time to get out again.

I don't know, but the second tier of actors/actresses in this product includes Brittny Snow, Kat Dennings, and Laura Prepon, and theres about 6 other actors and actresses that are actually recognizable. This is in addition to Scott Boras, Seth Meyers, and a bunch of niche musicians with heavy followings. Really, best overall lineup of autos in a while.

I’m digging the inclusion of William Fichtner (Armageddon, The Longest Yard, Go, etc). As usual, I’ll let everyone else run up the high-dollar cards and go after cards like this.

I'm sure there is also a direct relationship between star power and the diva factor. If they came up with an entirely A-list checklist, they might be more likely to have to deal with cards not getting signed at all, or being a hassle to get returned.

Finally notified that my package has shipped. No delivery date, but as long as it arrives by Thursday I'm ok. I wouldn;t get anything listed before this weekend anyway.

Great job man.

Thanks but I took the lazy way out. Ozempic has done wonders. I got as high as 278 (I'm 5'9) and something had to change. 60 lbs more to go. I've already hit a plateau once so I'm pretty confident I'll keep dropping weight.

Ditto. Also like the daguerreotype sample I saw (Rollins). Don't see any listed yet so wonder how tough the odds are.

The free shipping on cases is automatically fed ex two day. Or at least in this situation it was

sammyjankis · 12-01-2025, 08:17 PM

Purchased 2 boxes on 11/3 - no shipping update. Woof.

You are in the one day shipping zone so it will come tomorrow. For all that Fanatics does wrong, they do generally make sure to ship in waves based on shipping zones so that everyone gets preorders on release day.
