SKV, My son and I only collect baseball, but I looked at one of these today at our LCS, because not only is he a Vol but now a Dolphin!
I was so close to inquiring about it but couldn’t get past the Miguel Cabrera auto.🤷‍♂️
How much was this, if you don’t mind sharing?

With shipping and all...I got it for around $20

Nothing in our price range. Everything orange in Knoxville is priced through the roof! Our best Vol finds are usually when on vacation.😁

they are on card - base cards are glossy stock, so might want to experiment with sharpies to see which would sign best on them - I was guessing the fine point sharpies in blue

Just rub them down with a little bit of baby powder and a regular sharpie will work like a charm.....

No, I don’t want to start that habit for me or my son. I’ve tried to teach him that it’s a hobby, for fun. Not something we blow the mortgage payment or grocery money on.🤷‍♂️
I know 2 guys, one very well, who got in deep with sportscards.
We buy local at a couple of shops or at our small shows.
We make lists of players and/or certain cards were after.
It makes it fun for us.

Did you guys see that Jared Dickey is in the new Bowman? So is Carson Rucker.
Both have a Bowman 1st in the release.
We are on the hunt.

Sure it is, but I want to mold my son so that he doesn’t go down that path when he’s older, if he decides to continue collecting.
And I can’t say with certainty, that Dad wouldn’t go full retard.🤪
It just sounds better to say I’m trying to teach my son “values!”
😜

He does. He cut his teeth on those Gilbert and Beck teams, they have a special place with him.
His first Tennessee baseball game was the Gilbert, walkoff Grand Slam vs Wright St!😎
So basically, that guy is a legend in his mind.

If it’s cool with you, I’d like to send him something. Shoot me a DM with an address, if so.
