I'm Jason, a junk wax-era collector as a kid, who is just getting back into the hobby. Modern cards are not for me, but I love vintage and all the rookie cards that were out of my reach when I was young! I recently launched: https://tcfever.com

Authentic Trimmed but with amazinf eye appeal, great corners, no marks, no stains, no paper loss... I'll take it! I love adding more beautiful Goudey to my prewar PC. #cardsky #thehobby #vintageball #prewarcards
The O-pee-chee issues are about 20x more rare than the Topps of this era. I'm surprised it doesn't sell for more of a premium. My 72 OPC Willie Mays came today! #cardsky #thehobby
Added the 1951 Topps Blue Back to complete my Topps/Bowman run of Tommy Byrne. We share a last name, so I call him Uncle Tommy. I have a few obscure ones left to chase. #cardsky #thehobby #vintagebaseball
You're welcome. It's my pride and joy. Pulled it from a grocery store 49 cent pack when I was in middle school!
I got this awesome #ttm return from Bill Greason today. He will turn 101 in five weeks. He is a veteran of WW2 and Korea. He played for the Birmingham Black Barrons, where he was a #NegroLeague All Star in 1949. He also signed my letter to him with a short note. Thank you, sir! #cardsky #thehobby
I got this beauty in #mailday today. It's my first #T206, and it looks so nice. Looks far better than a 2 to me. #cardsky #thehobby #tobaccoana #tobaccocards
I thought your new years blog said you were done buying baseball cards??!! Haja
❤️ this #ttm return I got today from Bobby Shantz. He is the 1952 MVP and last living player to play in the majors majors during the 1940s. He will be 100 in September. Thanks, Mr. Shantz! #thehobby #cardsky
Newest addition my prewar collection, a 1941 Play Ball. Not trying to spend a fortune; picked it up for around $10 after tax and shipping. #cardsky #thehobby
I've picked up quite a few Sadaharu Oh from the 1970s Calbee sets. Looking to get some Shigeo Nagashima. It's fun to collect something more niche that not everyone knows about. Like a secret club haha
He was always my dad's favorite. And when he threw the no-hitter it was like 😲
Any Roberto Clemente is a good Clemente. Picked this up at a card show on Sunday. My first card of him. #cardsky #thehobby
My newest addition. Doesn't have to be a top grade; this 1933 Goudey has great eye appeal. It's work of art and cardboard history. I love it! #cardsky #thehobby #goudey #prewarcards #baseball
Just got my first Bobby Shantz card. Need to get it in the mail to get him to sign it. Oldest living major league and last to play in the 1940s! #cardsky #thehobby
Thank you so much. I knew the expert would know!
I bought this Menko card from WhatNot, but I don't know what it is. The two teams are Hankyu Braves (阪急) and the Chunichi Dragons (中日). The player on the left is バルボン (Balbon), and the player on the right is 江藤 (Eto). @npbcardguy.bsky.social do you recognize it? #cardsky #thehobby
He was the World Series MVP from sometime in the early 90s, which I only remember because he was from a couple of towns over from my hometown! They had signs "Home of Pat Borders" around town for years.
I'm a little younger. Started collecting in 1987. Got the bug big starting in 1991. Flamed out by 1994, and just getting back into it now. I'm a little scarred by the non-value of almost everything I grew up collecting. Now I'm going for 80s rookies, vintage, pre-war, and Japanese. It's fun again!
Collectors of current cards are gonna find out sooner or later what "junk wax era" collectors did.
Some early 80s miscut nonsense that I couldn't help but add to my collection. This guy was selling off his dad's old album of cards. I needed these! #cardsky #thehobby #junkwax #sportscardnonsense #baseball
Exciting #mailday brings my first 1967 Kabaya-Leaf. This is a pioneering set in #npb cards (+ exceedingly rare). It marks the transiton Menko/Bromide era (essentially Japanese tobacco cards) and modern form factors. Tiny pop. Only dozens exist. #cardsky #thehobby #baseball #japan
@npbcardguy.bsky.social I want you know how much I like your site. It's been such an amazing source of learning. I ordered my first shipment of Oh cards from Mandrakes a couple months ago thanks to your guidance. Thank you for all you have done to shed light on Japanese cards, culture and sport!
Julio Franco ended his MLB career with a .298 ⚾ average and hit his last homerun at 47. He is 66 today and rumor has it is still gets at bats in the Mexican League. 🤷‍♂️ He had a stint in Japan #npb too. I picked up his 84 Topps RC recently 😎 #thehobby #cardsky #junkwax #baseball
Wow! Never seen an Arby's card. That's cool!
