Jason T. Carter

That's dedication.

I started calling him that a couple months ago. Too early? Probably. But if I still had a "Future HOFer" shoebox like I did when I was a kid, he would be in it.

Wait, how do you do this? There's no way to sort by player under the team view, is there?

Just looked at McLean's stats. Not surprised I haven't heard of him, but maybe he'll be decent.

I'm a BIG fan of Webb at the moment.

Three future Hall of Famers and a guy I've never heard of.

Another "fun card"...this time Reds legend Terry McGriff (Fred's cousin), along with a Hall of Famer cameo! #CardSky

I don't understand the WBC.

I will likely continue using the old until it is no longer an option.

Random card from my collection: 1990 Topps Big #48 - Tom Browning - Cincinnati Reds

Mr. Perfect. He was far from perfect, but a good pitcher. #CardSky

New? Oh no.

So there's a "Collection (New)" choice in the drop down. But the old is still available for the time being. I don't like change.

I can see Kruk loving this too.

Banana Ball is so stupid.

And I love it.

Very nice!

It looks like the regional 5-card set for the Cubs ran from 2004-2009. They were the only team I checked.

Premium 55-card sets were only issued in 2007 and 2008. Red Sox, Mets, and Yankees were the only 2007 offerings.

Does @nightowlcardz.bsky.social know about this set?

I'm going to guess that these teams treated with the 55-card "premium" sets (which included team leaders, coaches, and "player of the week/month" cards!) were the only ones that got regional factory cards as well. Red Sox, Cubs, Tigers, Dodgers, Mets, and Yankees.

Gotta add the dash between Topps and the team name or you'll just get the 14-card team set issued in blaster packs.

The Reds didn't get a 5-card set. But we did get a special 8-card Redsfest set (and every card had a variation, so really 16-card set).

Underrated and injury-plagued. Plus, I love saying "Kalvoski."

Kal Daniels needs more baseball cards.

Plus, he tried to make a comback with the Blue Jays? Who knew!

I have trouble justifying even the OPC/Topps differences, unless there's a team update too. (And Donruss/Leaf for that matter.)

Are these considered the original parallels?

But also, as a Dunston fan, I need that 1987 gift catalog!

Including all the sticker/sticker back make the list look bigger than it really is. Do player collectors chase down all the different combination variations? When you take all those out, I only see 12 different, and that's only if you count the OPC and Topps stickers separately.

I read it on Wikipedia so take it with a grain of salt!

Plus the animation implied it was a choice, not against the character's will. Like the stress of working in advertising drove him to jump. Maybe I'm reading way too much into it.

I mean, not really. It's just misleading is all.

Former umpire Bruce Froemming has passed away. He once asked Johnny Bench for his autograph. Bench refused, then proceeded to strike out three times. 😂

I don't understand how this show was so popular. And yet, I can't stop watching it.
