TOPPS HOME RUN CHALLENGE 2019

Topps Home Run Challenge is back and I am hitting it HARD. I am sitting 2 for 5 right now with my winners pictured above. I almost got screwed with a Yankee rainout but luckily they played. ALWAYS CHECK THE WEATHER BEFORE PLAYING A CODE! I have 12 more cards to play and more on the way. Please think of me if you have one of these cards and want to swap it for something better OR hit me up if you want my thoughts on when to play your code. I was stupid and thought March would get its own card so I played 5 cards quickly to get them in before April. As soon as I came to my senses I looked and like I suspected; Topps lumps March/April together. So much for low numbered cards. These guys homer every frickin day.

STUPID SHIT "COLLECTORS" SAY

The Judge/Bellinger/Ohtani/Doncic get rich quick rushes from 2017-now are still impacting hobby newbs who expect every pack to hold a hit worth 5X the pack. Ugh, the entitlement. I don't think I see this crap posted from guys who collected through the 80's and 90's, we are just glad to not get doubles in a single pack. I love that he spent $400 on cards from Walmart.

Above is what an ebay breaker puts in all his posts. My word.

Oh, Come On!

This is what I received from the order I placed using the $3 ebay coupon last week. No joke! WTF! This shit only happens to me. I refused the card and now the seller says he hasn't got it back yet. Here we go...

Love Fox Sports Detroit jinxing their own guy thinking it will gain watchers who are channel flippers. Of course J-Zimm lost it just after this.

The Tigers prices on game used baseballs from opening day. Like I tweeted; they are finding a way to pay that Miggy contract. No way in hell I (or hopefully anybody else) is paying hundreds of dollars for a dirty baseball with a sticker! Auto balls are a fraction of those prices with those dude's scribbles on them. I bought a Blake Snell pitched to Victor Martinez ball from the stadium last year for $35. It wasn't opening day but those guys are better than most the list above. Don't get me started on the bat prices (Cabrera $3500). Disgusting.
