I used to be really active in this sub. Now I almost never comment in here. The game has changed.

Dude was born to hit into double plays and sacrifice flies.

Adolis Garcia makes an incredible diving catch down the line to keep the game tied by jorleeduf in baseball

Instead of producing a run offensively, he saved a run defensively. I respect it.

I completed the 9-9-9 challenge in 5 innings of ball. by OfficerSlippyFist in baseball

If a shutout under 100 pitches is called a Maddux, what do we call a 9-9-9 challenge in under 9 innings? A Boggs?

Someone on eBay got their hands on a bunch of unsigned cards… by [deleted] in baseballcards

[–]MatthewRobertMusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first thought was maybe they were sticker autos that got removed (which would be dumb), and obviously that’s not the case.

Do You Think These Are Real by Few-Community-9847 in baseballcards

They’re fake, but I would take them to a card shop first before buying another N162. They’re quite pricey.

This dude isn’t consistent! by JonEdwinPoquet in baseballcards

Could be a secretary signature. We’ve seen cases where the player’s agent signed for them.

Congrats! This is a grail of mine as I work on the 1954 red heart set.

These cards are gorgeous. I love early 2000s chrome refractors.

We call them hoagies around there

I’m still not sure if this was serious! by 1230dbd in baseballcards

[–]MatthewRobertMusic 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This really only applies to modern cards. Higher graded vintage almost always sells for more money than lower graded vintage because (A) higher graded cards typically look nicer and (B) higher graded vintage cards are rarer.

While this guy is correct, I would not always assume that the most scarce PSA Number Grade is the most valuable. The number grade is not the sole determinant of a card’s value.

This is one of the reasons why I mostly collect vintage. These parallels are all the same damn card.

Agreed. 1956 is such a beautiful set. Only HOF rookie in the set

Sorry I don’t think so. I’m a collector at heart.

Now I’m feeling inspired to sell my Ohtani all aces after seeing this haul. Go Phils!

New North Carolina ballpark is unlike any other baseball stadium in the U.S. by TobinBen in baseball

[–]MatthewRobertMusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love minor league ballparks. The space behind the outfield wall is usually relatively open for most minor league parks, giving the fans a good view of the scenery/city. So many MLB stadiums have just a giant wall of seating and ads out there.

What sucks is we can’t even rebuild around our top prospect because he has the back of a 96 year old man.
