Scoring from My Dealer

 


Bought a blaster box of 2025 Topps Baseball from Barnes & Noble.  















-  I feel like Jose Ramirez keeps showing up.  Not just this season, but last season too.

-  Rodriguez played for Modesto. 

-  Rizzo and Soto are both former Padres.

-  Arenado won 10 Gold Gloves at 3B, which is reason enough to hate him. 

-  I'll stop the Upton tradition when Verlander retires.

Scoring from My Dealer

 


Grabbed two fat packs of 2024 - 25 Donruss Basketball from Wally World.

Let's look at some highlights.




-  Maybe Joel Embid will stay healthy next season.  Ha ha ha ha ha. 

I'm here all week.  

-  I thought that Jalen Green reminded me of this Shawn Kemp, but upon further review, they're not as similar as I thought.

Free Baseball Cards from the Bunny Man

 



Let's look at some highlights.  

From a pack of 2023 Topps:












From a pack of 2023 Topps Heritage:












From a weird mini-pack of 2024 Topps.  Might have been a bonus pack, because the cards were in a clear plastic pouch with no retail info:

Musical Melee Champion and Random Thoughts

 


The Beatles took the crown.  That's their statue in Liverpool.

Their victims:  The Police, AC / DC, Guns N' Roses, Fleetwood Mac, U2, and Michael Jackson.  

The Rolling Stones getting knocked off in the first round might have been the upset of the tournament. 

Matty K has a connection to the 10,000 Maniacs.  But it's not as cool as Brett Alan's one-night stand with Susan Sarandon. 

I'm surprised Paul McCartney made the Final Four, with his Beatles and Wings work not counting. 

I tend to think of MJ as two big albums and a lot of hype, so I'm a bit surprised he made the championship.
