My cards are worthless to most. But the memories and relationships I’ve built by collecting them are invaluable to me. This page is about collecting “worthless” cards, having fun, reliving memories and building new ones. Also, I'm a Detroit sports fan.

All season long, #Tigers fans like me have been talking about how good a hitter Kevin McGonigle is. And he has been really good. But after his 3rd inning double today, Javier Baez is hitting .289 on the season, compared to Kevin's .285. Javi's hitting improvement the past 2 years has been great.

My Topps Now card from the Tigers' Eduardo Valencia's MLB debut arrived today. His home run in his first at-bat was probably my favorite moment of the season so far. I cheered so loud in my living room. Great memory! #CardSky #Tigers #Topps

This #Tigers broadcast is unbearable. Benetti is one of the best broadcasters in the game when he wants to be. This constant goofing around and 9-inning commercial for the expensive seats is so awful.

I used to use sportscardalbum.com to keep track of cards (load images of card, organize them by year, info, message other collectors, etc.), but that site's long dead. Would like an easy way to track what I have/don't have of players and load pics of the cards. What are good options? #CardSky

Looking at cards on eBay and this was interesting to me. Card on auction w/ $10 starting bid or $20 Buy It Now price. But, there's literally a $2 price sticker on the card in the photo. I want to offer $2 (which would be a full-price offer, right?), but there's no make offer button. #cardsky

One of the things I enjoy about watching games on MLB.tv is the ability to listen to the radio broadcast of a game while watching the TV broadcast. That way, when I get tired of the childish goofing around by the TV broadcasters, I can switch to the adults actually talking about the game on radio.

I'm going to guess that Jahmai Jones was on-deck when Tork made the final out today.

myworthlesscards.bsky.social @myworthlesscards.bsky.social · 07/06/2026
Can we please stop acting like Jahmai Jones is a lefty killer? He's hitting .175 with a .579 OPS vs. lefties (.000 in both categories in 14 ABs vs. RHPs). It's not worth sending him to the plate anymore. #Tigers

Lifelong #Tigers faniving in Orlando. Watch the Tigers on MLB TV every night, but watch the Rays broadcast when they play Tampa. Have to admit, it's nice getting to listen to adults announce the game on television. I miss that.

#Tigers have lost 21 of their last 25 games. And they don't do anything. I don't even know what I want them to do, but do SOMETHING! We had to deal with this during the Lions' season, and now the Tigers. So frustrating.

Man, Doyle Alexander was an amazing pickup for the Tigers in late 1987. Went 9-0, 1.53 ERA after being acquired for some struggling minor league pitcher who probably never amounted to anything. Doyle led the Tigers to an AL East crown that year. Wonder what happened to that other guy. #CardSky

I love this 1974 Topps card of Juan Marichal. "The Dominican Dandy" retired when I was 2 years old, so I never got to see him pitch. But if I was old enough, I bet all my friends and I would've imitated his style. Awesome photo. What are your thoughts on this card? Any Marichal memories? #CardSky

This is a fun card. 1994 Topps Ryne Sandberg. This was in that box of cards my sister-in-law gave me years ago that I just finally went through. #CardSky #Cubs

Had a great time in Lakeland watching my Tigers take on the Phillies today. Kevin McGonigle hit an absolute missile in the first inning. #Tigers

Another of the cards my sis-in-law gave me years ago that I finally looked through the other day. '95 UD Collector's Choice Special Edition Blue Trevor Hoffman. Always fun to see a pitcher with a bat or on bases. Bonus for a hall of famer! Also, obligatory @buntwaxera.bsky.social shoutout. #CardSky

Watching Braves-Rays game. Justyn-Henry Malloy just lost a ball in the sun in left (at same park). Max Clark got killed for that because he wore a few chains around his neck. But you won't hear anything about it happening to anyone else. I'm a biased TIgers' fan, but Clark's just fine. Let him be.

This is a fun card from the box of cards my sister-in-law gave me several years ago that I finally looked through the other day. 1995 Topps Stadium Club Power Zone Frank Thomas. Kind of dinged up, but still a cool card. #CardSky #WhiteSox #BigHurt

OK, random question tonight: Back in the 80s (maybe early 90s), there was a Beckett Baseball Card Magazine columnist who wrote a column that I think usually appeared near the back of the magazine. He wore an Orioles jacket in his accompanying photo. Does anyone remember who he is? #CardSky

Yesterday I posted about a couple boxes of cards my sister-in-law gave me several years ago. One was full of Braves, the other with random cards. Almost all '90s and early 2000s, including Alan Trammell, 1 of my all-time favs. Didn't have the '94 Fleer. Love it! #CardSky #Tigers

Several years ago, my sister-in-law gave me a bunch of her old cards in a couple boxes. One is full of 90s and 2000s Atlanta Braves; another is a small shoebox of random cards from the same years. Finally went through then today. That was fun. Lots of Hall of Famers & stars. Here's a few. #Cardsky

Finally picked up my first Kevin McGonigle card. 2025 Bowman Draft Axis. I like it. Cool design and pretty inexpensive. I like that it shows him fielding and batting. Hope I'll be able to get his Tigers cards for years to come. #CardSky #Tigers #thehobby #baseballcards

So nice to watch the Tigers game on TV without it being littered with gambling odds and ads. Hope it stays this way during the regular season. Difficult to find a game on TV without those things anymore.

Was anybody else a fan of Topps Opening Day? I used to love them. Collected them with my son. Inexpensive cards, smaller sets so mostly star players. Was fun to pick up a box and rip packs from time to time. #CardSky

My son and I went to Orlando Sports Cards for the first time today (we've lived here 8 1/2 years...it's about time). Wow. So fun. Between us we picked up 23 cards for $30...and had a lot of fun. Here are my 10 cards. Can't wait to go back. So much more to see. #CardSky

Does anyone enjoy just collecting cards anymore? Been watching a lot (too much?) of videos about cards on YouTube over the past couple months. Almost every video/comment is about how much you can get for a card(s), prices, bad actors/breakers, industry vs. hobby, etc. It's exhausting. #CardSky

Mailday! Just got this 1962 Post Al Kaline. I always like to imagine a kid six decades ago begging his mom to buy a box of cereal (or Jell-O) because of the player on the box and hanging onto it for a long time, maybe putting it in a shoebox and finding it decades later. #CardSky #Tigers #thehobby

Huge thanks to @heavyjstudios.bsky.social for these custom Kirk Gibson cards! Gibby is my all-time favorite athlete. When I was a kid my family had season tickets for Michigan State football when he played there. He's been my favorite ever since. These are awesome. Thank you! #CardSky

Curious, did you grow up going to a specific card shop in the 80s or early 90s? I spent most of my time and money at Hawaiian Brothers Baseball Cards in Carmichael, CA. It's long gone now. What about you? What was your shop? Is it still around? #CardSky #thehobby

I really like how Topps let you know exactly when the game-used jersey and base were used on the back of these 2005 Update cards. I wish we saw that more often these days. I think I pulled these out of blaster boxes I bought at Walmart when I lived in Georgia back then. #CardSky #baseballcards

These are kind of fun. I remember picking this up at my card shop in 1988. Do you have any of these? What do you think of this kind of oddball-type stuff? This is a 1988 Topps American Baseball U.K. Mini. #CardSky

Just picked up my first Topps Now card. Commemorates Riley Greene's Major League debut. I love the idea of Topps Now. They are about moments, and I think that's so cool. I can see myself collecting these. What are your thoughts on Topps Now? #CardSky #Tigers #Topps #SportsCards #BaseballCards

This 1961 Topps Al Kaline card arrived today. Working on my run of Mr. Tiger cards. His '54 Topps rookie card is my dream card. Gonna be awhile before I'll be able to get that. Still have several others on the list. Gonna see what doubles I have and see if anyone wants to trade. #CardSky #Tigers

Picked up an '82 Topps Detroit Tigers team set on eBay, which arrived today. Loved these guys back then. I now have all the #Tigers Topps flagship base cards from 1981-2011. Should I just work backward now? Start on a year I like? Got any suggestions? #CardSky #baseballcards #sportscards

I honestly don't remember how I acquired this Tom Seaver Kellogg's 3-D Super Stars card. I think I traded with one of my friends for it in the 80s. It's cracked, but I still think it's cool. Great memories of trading back in the day. Miss those days. #CardSky #Mets #SportsCards #baseball

This is one of two (I think) graded cards I own. Always imagine a kid in 1963 begging his mom to buy this box of Jell-O because Sandy Koufax was on the back of it, then the card living in a shoebox for a few decades. #CardSky #baseballcards #sportscards #Dodgers #jello

Would have liked to have seen Dale Murphy elected to the Hall of Fame. I still have my Murphy model glove from the 80s. This is my 2012 Panini Prime Cuts Notable Nicknames auto 22/25. I really like this card. #Murphy #Atlanta #Braves #CardSky #HallOfFame #Panini #BaseballCards #SportaCards
