Kmart sets were great. The 82 AL and NL MVPs are still my favorite.

1987 was a great rookie year! Unfortunately, some McGwire guy was named AL ROY. #TheHobby #CardSky

$2 Junk Wax find at an antique mall. I definitely wouldn’t call it an antique, but it has Tony Pena on the front for the PC.

I see the Mavs are pushing for new arena. Do the Stars plan to stay or go?

Currently going through 90s Royals cards to complete team sets. There are so many different sets from the era, many of which I have some cards, but I don’t remember a thing about them. Now to find the miss g ones.

Absolutely correct! The only way to get cards of some of the lesser known pre-war players.

I know which I enjoy more even if it costs more $$$.

The first card show autograph I ever paid for was Chuck Connors. Love the Rifleman!

Another great mail day from @PizzosCards with some more Royals including a couple of numbered Witt’s, a Bo, and a Rich Hill nickname. #TheHobby #CardSky

First card of 2026 - Bobby Witt - β€œElite” he is.

For whatever reason, George Brett wore 25 during that episode. His brother, Ken, and he wore numbers from their rookie year.

I know you "enjoy" talking about the Rays stadium, so I was glad you mentioned the Royals fiasco on today's podcast.

It was hard to find that last card for my 1977 Royals team set.......U.L. Washington was tough :)

Sometimes I think I am the only fan of the horizontal card. Finished my 1956 set a couple of years ago. Working on 1971 now. After that, my choices are down to 55, 60, or 70. Good luck.

Love to see some Piniella and Lumpe in there.

Happy New Year! Have enjoyed your podcast this year after I visited the museum in March. If you ever make that trip to see the Royals, let me know.

I'm liking Beltran's chances this year.

I would have to go with the Paige.

He held the Royals single-season HR record for way too long.

Keep bringing the Indy cards! I love the 500, but I haven't got into racing cards so you are my best chance to see what is out there.

That was the last card I needed for my 56 set. It is one of my favorite cards in my collection today.

My only trip to Frisco was to Dr. Pepper Ballpark for the 2017 Texas League All Star Game.

The 1980 set was my first year in the hobby, so the Burger King set is appreciated in my collection.

A couple of earlier 2025 Clemente pickups (1964 Topps Giant and 1965) and my first Clemente (1956). #Retire21 @mlb @CardsCigarbox

Last card of 2025: the 1955 and 1st Official World Series MVP, Johnny Podres. Podres went 2-0 with 10 Ks in 2 complete games as the Brooklyn Dodgers defeated the New York Yankees in 7 games. #MVP #TheHobby #CardSky #MagPro
