6 more to go

 My quest for #'d cards of HOF'ers (potential and current) is down to 6.  I have a trade proposal for two 

and here are the four I need.  Joe Gordon has only a few numbered cards and all are SN 10 or fewer.

The other three are potential HOF'ers, Acuna, Judge and Ohtani.  Of the 246 I had on my original list,

the only one I had to get on EBay was Minnie Minoso.  The rest were all through trades on TCDB.

Twofer, new Bob and minor league

I'll always trade for Bat cards

New Bubble

I was searching my local card shop and came across this 715 card.

I'm always looking for Offer, game or misc stuff.  I never saw this one before.

Checked EBay and found this is listed as a 1/1.  The triangle on the back is a 

hologram and inside it is a tiny 1/1.  Surprised to find they are selling for over $100

Photos that could be cards

 Over the years I've collected Bubble Photos that would be great cards for my collection.  I'd gladly

trade cards to anyone that make custom cards for my Bubble collection.

multiple bubbles and stars

The Bloody Lip

 Certain cards are famous for the picture on the card.  They remind us of the event and the impact on

our sports knowledge.  This card has recently shot up in value.

An occasional scrum still happens today, but nobody would be able to pitch with a

"Bloody Lip"

Is this an error card?  69 Topps Rub off on the base 69 Oliva.  The card has no edges around the Rub-off.

My first Hires Root Beer card.  It was my dad's favorite root beer and we would have root beer floats while watching Saturday's Game of the week on TV.

Rico would enjoy the Super Soakers of today.

Where's Waldo?  Baseball's attempt with Bazooka Joe.  Can you spot him in the card?

Lackey's first minor league card

An oddball from Gaylord.

Customs from Gavin

 Gavin continues to surprise me with fun customs of my favorite Bubbles.  I'm happy to send him some

needs because my return is unique and fun.  Truly 1/1 cards.

One of the biggest bubbles on a card

Hank #'d

A HOF'er that deserves more credit.  Down to 30 from 246 with all trades so far.

This bubble is part of a puzzle

Police

Traded for a Grail card

 My first mini collection, even before Bubbles, was Sunset cards of HOF'ers since 1950.  I have originals 

of all but three.   I'm down to two.  Made a trade for a 1958 Bell Brand Roy Campanella.

My Sunset criteria is year after they stopped playing with stats on the back.  Picked up in a trade for 69 Yaz Transogram and a hi number.

The other 2 cards I need are not easy.  53 Satchel Paige and a 56 Jackie Robinson.

Added to my Flip collection.  Pussy Galore flipping James Bond.

Another oddball.  Talk about a twinkle in your eye.

I've been also collecting oddball Griffey, Ryan, Ripken and Bo's.

A new parallel from Stadium, Bronze.   Anybody else notice that the quality of the Stadium cards this year has dropped.

Another trade for an Exhibit.

Bubbles, bats and Bob

 Saved by Topps Black and White.  Four different bubbles in one release.  Reminds me of the 90’s

when 4 or more bubbles were the norm.   

My first bubble for Pujols, a SP.  Was he competing with Yadi?

Same pictures from earlier Topps sets

Bats

New Bob

Stadium bubbles

 After striking out on Bubbles in 2026 Topps, first time no bubbles in years, Stadium Club comes through

with 2 bubble cards.

Here's my Stadium Club story.  I did not buy any boxes.  Went to my local card shop and he had bought a bunch of cards from a breaker that included 2025 Stadium.  I bought about 400 cards for $8.  When I sorted at home, I had almost 150 of the 200 cards in the set.  I was missing all of the Rookie cards.  After 5 trades with fellow TCDB'ers, I had all the rookies and finished the set.  Including the postage my set cost $13.  I'm not buying any boxes or packs this year.  

Still working on my #'d chase.  Down to needing about 37 cards to finish.  Still all thru trading.

While no bubbles in 2026 so far, the First "Bob" in many years.
