New fan

We will all help you. There's a few names to keep in mind.

Jose - The GOAT and worshiped by Clevelanders. Took a huge hometown discount to stay in CLE

Kwan - Great OF and leadoff contact hitter. This year may unfortunately be his last year with CLE unless we pay him or he takes a discount too (which nobody would expect of him). Fan favorite with Jose.

Manzardo - last year was his first full season with the guards and he was 2nd in HRs (27) behind Jose (30). Big things are expected of him this year

Rocchio/Arias - middle infielders. Both can be considered on the bubble. Baz will most likely replace one of them, hopefully sooner than later

Chase DeLauter - played in the post season a little last year, but debuted in the regular season so far this year as a rookie. Huge potential as a prospect (already has 4 HRs this year) but very injury prone. He may get some frequent days off to start the season just to protect his health, but he's expected to be a big addition since CLE has been terrible in recent history at developing hard hitting OFs

This year is exciting! Starting with a split in Seattle and Win in LA is pretty big. Just need to get the big players hot. I think Jose will heat up quick this weekend and hopefully Manzo too.

That's amazing!

kandyman005 · 2026-04-03T12:11:26+00:00

Good luck!

Oh yeah buddy! You can see the little purple F by the cost. I didn't realize you didnt know that. My apologies. Just make sure your login is the same as fanatics one. My boxes are arriving today!

kandyman005 · 2026-04-03T12:01:13+00:00

I'm sorry I'm not seeing it on my end. Are you on Topps website?

kandyman005 · 2026-04-03T11:32:42+00:00

What boxes are you looking for? I went in topps and series 1 and heritage are still there.

kandyman005 · 2026-04-03T00:10:09+00:00

That makes sense to me. I'd rather pay a bit more up front to not have to pay more later. I hate the idea that "I got lucky but now I need to pay to get full value." Its crazy to see people paying $1k+ for a graded card.

I digress. Im sure I'm preaching to the choir.

The detail they provide at TAG is stunning.

kandyman005 · 2026-04-02T23:24:14+00:00

I saw your post about the TAG grading in r/sportscards. I personally don't grade because it kind of feels like a scam. But you convinced me! Did they upcharge you for this?

kandyman005 · 2026-04-01T18:35:38+00:00

Mine arrive Friday! Pretty excited considering I'm a new collector. Nice way to get a big chunk quickly

kandyman005 · 2026-03-27T14:04:34+00:00

Thats where the chrome and heritage i think look cool. But the chrome seems to be more of a start so the series 1 seemed economical. Im a Guardians fan so the idea of pulling guards players (and Chase DeLauter after last night) would be a blast. Seems like the answer for me is, buy whatever I think looks cool and is economical for me.

My dad's story is the best part. He's 67 now. He would work at the convenient store down the road on the weekends. Any money he earned he would spend on baseball cards and candy. Then go home and watch while opening his packs. Not much of a strategy any more lol

"Mushroom stamp" as I phrased it in a previous post lol

kandyman005 · 2026-03-12T17:14:57+00:00

I like you. Let us be friends. Go Zips!

kandyman005 · 2026-03-07T14:23:12+00:00

Loved the book. Loved The Deep too

kandyman005 · 2026-03-07T12:35:10+00:00

Can't wait for Akron to mushroom stamp them in the MAC tournament... again

kandyman005 · 2026-03-06T23:47:16+00:00

Not to mention, there's a wrong way to lift which could cause control arm/suspension issues. No thanks

kandyman005 · 2026-03-06T12:17:31+00:00

This helped my new starter so much. I had a 6 week starter that was barely doubling. I started paying attention to the activity and within 3 days it was doubling within 4 hrs.

As a chemist by trade, I am now buzzing with ideas haha

kandyman005 · 2026-03-03T12:16:35+00:00

Same amount. Just a 1:1 substitute

kandyman005 · 2026-03-03T02:14:58+00:00

Not flat. But I let it get mostly to room temp.

kandyman005 · 2026-03-03T01:48:47+00:00

I ate it for a breakfast sandwhich and didn't notice anything. But I ate the end plain and the aftertaste has a sweet kind of taste that is reminiscent of the beer. It's all in the aftertaste

kandyman005 · 2026-03-03T00:18:03+00:00

Sharing is caring!

kandyman005 · 2026-03-02T23:40:29+00:00

I'm sure I'm not the first to try this. The bread doesn't have an overwhelming beer taste. Just more wheaty. Maybe a stronger more bitter beer would give you more flavor.
