Haha! Wish a reporter would've asked a follow up question to that.

I don't see diarrhea landing a major league baseball player on the IL. Explosive diarrhea would be another story.

Glad to see him back and healthy, boring singles but 2 for 2 is a good sign and he's working the pitcher on that last at bat

Decent exit velocity on that last single, just got to launch them up a bit

Picked this up a few days ago. Will be staying in the PC. Brooklyn Collection cards are so nice and go for practically nothing compared to everything else.

Yordan walked on 3 2, ump actually made the right call for once in the last ten 3 2 counts
I know It sounds silly but the ump letting yordan walk on ball 4 rather than calling strikes on low and outside balls is going to give him a lot of confidence to choose his pitches
Guess the ump doesn't have money bet on the other team for once lol

That has to be an alternate ‘78 design, right?

I love both versions of Yordan autos. I’ve been on the verge of grabbing a gold a few times, but haven’t done it yet.

It’s stunning how every Brooklyn set I’ve seen is more attractive than the nicest looking Topps set in the last 7 years IMO.
I haven’t really liked a flagship design since 2014 tbh.

‘Stros started off strong on offense this year, then the ‘rona hit and they haven’t quite been the same, but hopefully Yordan can get his groove back and get the other hitters going too.

Yordan has had his groove back. He is still mashing for a high avg. The homers will come naturally.

I honestly believe, from a pure hitting standpoint, that this guy might end up being in the top-3 out of all of the young guys. Sure he's limited in the field and on the bases, but at the plate, oh lord......

I sincerely believe he's the next Big Papi. For real.

In honor of Yordan's big day, two PC cards I should be receiving back from CSG soon.

New grading company, part of Certified Collectibles Group which owns NGC, CGC, etc. which are leaders in coin grading, comic books, and so forth.

I expect them to surpass BGS in the near future and longer-term compete with PSA just like they do in those other arenas with the other Collector's Universe companies. Their slabs are the highest quality of the three already, some people don't like the label, but I do. I've had a few cards graded with them so far and will continue to do so for some of my longer term holds and PC cards where I'm not looking for max ROI right away.

Interesting! I hope they change the label... It's very big and bold

How was your overall grading experience with them?
