Dave Parker forgot to bring his helmet to the 1977 All-Star Game and had to borrow Dave Winfield's. Years back I made a custom using a screen grab to claim him as an honorary Padre in my card collection. RIP Cobra.

Happy Birthday, Tony Gwynn. I was born and raised in San Diego (and went to SDSU), so you know I got a solid #MrPadre collection. Here are some good ones to show off.

For his birthday today, here are all the cards in my Dick Allen collection that feature the 1972 Topps design. ...Topps, OPC, customs, Kmart, even a couple different "gum stain variations" to be over-the-top about it. 😆

Wishing a happy 30th birthday to former Reds prospect Gavin LaValley. Gotta be my most impressive PC, or at least the one with the most 1/1's by a wide margin. I'd like to think there's an alternate universe where he became the next Mike Trout and I sold at just the right time. 🤑 🫠
