The 1967 Topps set chase to #533 is now over with these two additions. I have a few 7th series cards but will never have the full set. @spoart.bsky.social @sabrbbcards.bsky.social @heavyjstudios.bsky.social @splitseason1981.bsky.social @gritz.bsky.social @nightowlcardz.bsky.social #cardsky

The Red Sox called up Chris Stapleton, Zach Top, and Allen Stone to play in the outfield at Fenway last night. Each one knocked it out of the park. #cardsky

As a kid I stopped buying packs after the 1968 season so I have hard time accepting that 7 of these gentlemen ever played a single game for the team designated on their 1976 card. As a Red Sox fan I wish Bucky never got traded to the Yankees. #cardsky @heavyjstudios.bsky.social

Second annual mini reunion with some of my old high school buddies yesterday at Polar Park was a blast. We sat in the Club section. A perfect day at the perfect park! @janetmariesmith.bsky.social @heavyjstudios.bsky.social @markhoyle4.bsky.social @SplitSeason1981.bsky.social

Over the last week some more 1967 commons arrived in the mail. These were all eBay purchases. Only 9 cards to go on the road to 533. #cardsky #Topps1967 @gritz.bsky.social @heavyjstudios.bsky.social

Picked up some 1967 Topps a few weeks ago at LCS. Most were low cost commons. Only 32 cards needed to complete the chase to 533 cards. No 7th Series for me. @gritz.bsky.social @heavyjstudios.bsky.social @splitseason1981.bsky.social #cardsky #1967Topps

Noticed last night that the back of Ruben’s 1967 card has stats from some of his time in Cuba and Mexico. Do any other US issued Topps cards have stats from Cuba or Mexico? #cardsky @heavyjstudios.bsky.social @adarowski.bsky.social @splitseason1981.bsky.social @tjpilotsfan.bsky.social

Great mail day. Added quite a few 1967 cards to the collection. Vast majority were low cost commons that were in nice shape. #cardsky #1967Topps

I had the good fortunate to briefly meet Maz a few times. Gave him a box of cigars at Pirate Fest in 2015 and met him at Fantasy Camps in Bradenton, FL. I hope he is enjoying a Macanudo in heaven. RIP. #cardsky @mattmillerpgh.bsky.social @johnpheinen.bsky.social

I was sad to hear about the passing of Dave Giusti. I had the good fortune to meet him a number of times at the Pirates Fantasy camp (as an observer). He was great with the fans. Took this picture of him in 2011. #cardsky

A diversion from my 1966 set build and 1967 chase. My first eBay Authenticity Guarantee purchase. I feel the 1960 does not get the appreciation it deserves. #cardsky #1960Topps

Three high numbers (two are short prints) for the 1966 set build to end 2025. Six high numbers to go for a complete set. #cardsky #1966Topps

Chased down some more 67 HOFmers and commons. That is my favorite Maz card. Reminds me of the 62 Maris card. #cardsky #1967Topps

72 needed cards for my 1967 set chase. Calling this a chase because I know my limits when it comes to a set build. Mostly commons and a handful of low cost HOFmers. #cardsky #1967Topps @heavyjstudios.bsky.social @splitseason1981.bsky.social @nightowlcardz.bsky.social

Recent eBay purchases arrived yesterday. Will be looking for more 1967 cards at local show on Saturday. I have always considered this to be the best Topps set issued during the ‘60s. #1967Topps #cardsky #Retire21

Sitting close to the Pirates dugout for the 3 games at Fenway gave me the opportunity to see a true team leader - Andrew McCutchen - in action. A master at keeping everyone loose. #PittsburghPirates #GoBucs

As a Pirates fan I am sad to see these two players get traded. They were fun to watch. I hope that Hayes enjoys playing for Francona and that Bednar gets a World Series ring this year. #cardsky @mattmillerpgh.bsky.social @johnpheinen.bsky.social
