This is how I celebrate Opening Day. Every year I send Cardinals Flowers to my wife’s at her school. I only send flowers on Opening Day. Valentine’s Day is a fake holiday. 😂😂😂 Opening day is Christmas for Baseball fans.

Old school trade at the local card shop tonight. I had 2 extra high numbers 700’s. We traded straight up. Happy to add to more high numbers to the 1971 Topps set the old way. #CardSKy

Picked up some Fleer packs this weekend. 202 packs for $40. I’m going to give these away at our Opening Day along with new Topps. Cooper had a blast at the show this weekend. Kids love to open the cards we’ve given them the last couple of years. I’m the card guy for our league. #Cardsky

Cool spring training return today. Cooper sent this card in late February. Still waiting on a Cardinal return. They have been terrible the last couple of years. He was excited to receive a 2025 Rookie back today. #Cardsky

You got to love the USPS. I bought a 1971 lot 131 cards. Shipped from Massachusetts to Pennsylvania via San Francisco. Was supposed to arrive today. 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣 How??????

1971 Topps partial set update. We came to an agreement on a partial refund. $42 off the set. My local dealer said the set was a great deal. Won another 131 card lot last night for $25. The journey now begins on the 1971 set. Had the Clemente since I was a kid. #CardSky

What would you do in this situation. I recently won a partial 1971 set. The listing stated 461/752 no dupes. There was a list in the photos at the end of the cards. Today I checked the list. The #’s don’t add up. Short about 93 cards from listing. Already shipped. Seller said I could return.

Made my 1st purchase for my 1971 Topps partial set project. Set should be here next week. Love this action shot at the plate. #CardSky

2025 Topps has arrived. Always fun to open the new Topps. We are set builders and with less packs and less cards in the hobby box it is tough. We are missing 132 cards. Two years ago you could get a box and maybe miss 40 cards. Still love collecting. Prices and packs need to change. #Cardsky

Bobby @bobbystl.bsky.social · 09/02/2025

Well I did something last night. I won a 1971 Topps partial set. 461 cards no duplicates Vg Vg+. Needed something to work on for the next couple years. #CardSky

Not a fan of slabs but I couldn’t pass up a nice 1971 Topps for $5 today at the local card show. Card is not for the 1971 Topps set I’m not working on 🤣🤣 I will set this card free. #CardSky

Added the great Mickey Vernon to the collection this week. $25 at Yastrzemski in Cooperstown. Mickey has amazing numbers for his time period. Added the 52 Topps to go with his signed baseball. #CardSky

We bought 4 packs of 1983 Donruss at the card show this weekend for $10. We opened all the packs and the last pack I opened had a Sandberg rookie 2nd card in the pack. Cooper finished going through the pack and found another Sandberg in the same pack. So cool! #CardSky

RIP Mr. Baseball. I really wanted the Brewers to make it to the World Series and win it last year. Bob signed this card TTM care of the Brewers a number of years ago. This is a sad day for all of Baseball.
