Turns out my breaking point is Nazi salutes at a presidential inauguration from the person who owns this website. Nope, not supporting that in any way. Today will be my last day on Twitter. I’ll keep posting and following baseball card stuff on Bluesky if you’re interested.

@CooperstownDave I do think that this is a good "gut check" standard for a certain type of Hall of Famer. Unfortunately, I don't think that is a particularly good standard for Kenny Lofton - who I really like and think had a Hall of Fame career - but was really not the dominant CF of his era

I do not think there is a Hall of Fame-eligible pre-1980s AL/NL player outside of the Hall who was more dominant at their position in their era than Charlie Bennett.

I have been given marching orders! I need to have the basement, card free by 2044. Or else! If I start now, I might make it! I decided to start offering bulk cards from 1981 - 1994. I am still going to do the vintage thing, but this will help younger guys with an era they did get to see "live". I am very flexible. I can offer you cards any way you like. For instance: One of each "player X" All my cards (including duplicates of "player X." cards by team, by year, by set (any combo of these elements). I can build you a starter set of 1981 - 1994. Pick a brand and a year. I have many complete and partial sets. Pick a brand and a year! To start things off, I will be offering a bulk lot of any of these players: Alan Trammell, Greg Vaughn, Mo Vaughn, Frank Viola, Omar Visquel, Larry Walker, Bernie Williams, Lou Whitaker, Matt Williams and Dave Winfield. This is not a dump or give away. I don't have Griffey rookies for a nickel! DM me and we can talk about a fair price for whatever you want. Right now, just baseball, but I will get to the other sports too. The number of cards and years and brands differs for each player. I have stars and commons. Please do not ask for Clemens and Puckett rookies. I sold them 39 years ago. But if you want 50 different Pucketts, no problem! If you are seriously interested in anything 80s. Let me know. Thanks, Tim

A bit of good luck sparked Elmer Flick’s Hall of Fame career. When Flick, born #OTD in 1876, went to the train station to bid farewell to his hometown team, they realized they were one player short – so they invited him to hop aboard.

@TigsTown Exactly right. Winter is too long, too cold and too gray.

@AllAcesCards Surprised Felix isn’t on here. For a player whose major Hall claim is a high peak, it feels like a big ding against him

@ThoseBackPages I’m 100% in your camp here. There are countless useless, random parallels. It makes no sense to scrap something that people have been chasing for years. If it affected me, I’d probably sell what I had and forget it. I’m not substituting to another parallel, that’s for sure

@notgaetti I feel like I remember Justin Verlander specifically saying that his goal was to be a Hall of Famer some number of years ago

@stuber_scott YES. A motivating factor that moved me away from my Curtis Granderson player collection (apart from his trade to the Yankees) was the inundation of parallels that I knew I could never get, and that the OCD worry of having an "incomplete" collection led me to give it up entirely.
