- Great storytellers
I will start by saying that I don’t understand the obsession with baseball cards - my husband is “that guy.” But this show isn’t just for card nerds; it’s about real people and their lives. The hosts are great storytellers and they clearly put a lot of research and effort into their work. This podcast definitely makes my husband‘s baseball card fetish more bearable on long car trips! Looking forward to hearing about Cubs legend Jody Davis.

Matt and David have taken on an ambitious project… analyzing every baseball card (and its subject!) from the 1988 Topps set. As someone who grew up obsessed with these cards it’s so enjoyable to hear them rekindled more than 30 years later. Kudos to the 1988 Topps team, and if you’re looking for suggestions… Wally Backman!
Apple Podcasts5Mike O’Connell Jr.United States23 days ago - Excellent pod!
First off, do Mickey Morandini, 2B US Olympic team (and later Phillies). He’s from my area, and a fellow IU Hoosier (the second Hoosier to wear #12 w/ Philly - Schwarber is the other).
Mickey came back to PGH in ‘91 (?) and pulled off an unassisted triple play vs the Pirates. I was lucky enough to be there and still have the ticket stub somewhere.
Regardless, awesome pod. I eagerly await new episodes each week (or so).

This show and its hosts are fantastic. I was 14 & obsessed with cards, bought countless packs of 88 Topps. This show has arrived in my life at just the right moment. This very ambitious project is a real achievement and I can’t wait to hear future episodes. For now, having a ball listening through to all of them. <3 x infinity !

What an exceptional podcast that instantaneously sends you back in time aboard a 100mph fastball straight into the heart of 1988 Topps Baseball set. This set is the first one I actively bought wax packs of and the colors, design, and players hold an indelible place in my collectors consciousness. Great listen and great job.
