I used to get the full season box sets when I was a kid back in the 90s for Christmas.
Did you catch the Alfaro pull. Lmao!!
Haha no. I haven’t had a chance to look at your vid yet. I just kind of skimmed over to see what your starting lineup was and then I ordered Chinese food.
Starting to scare me man, eating chines tonight myself. Lol
It’s from CHINUH.

Can’t wait to get Spencer Torkelson’s 1st Bowman Chrome Auto.

I love collecting cards. There was only some basketball boxes at Walmart last week so I bought one and hit a Zion rookie that sells for around $550... definitely can be profitable

Absolutely. I pulled a /199 black Hobby silver pack Yordan Alvarez that I sold for $40.

That’s awesome you’re getting back into the hobby! I got back to collecting in 2018, Acuna quickly became my favorite player in the league and his cards drew me back in.
Definitely collect what you like but I would definitely say stick to Topps products. Some Panini products can be cool but something about them not havOmg team logos just throws me off. I typically stick with Topps flagship products (Series 1 and 2), Topps Chrome, Topps Update, Topps Update Chrome. I’ll always get 2 hobby boxes or a jumbo of each of those products along with some retail boxes to fill in those complete sets.
I’ve also dabbled into some other products like Topps Heritage but that’s another huge set of cards that will take too much time and money for me. I may try Gypsy Queen at some point cuz I just think the design of those look cool.
Long story short, there’s definitely a lot of stuff out there. I’d recommend the main products from Topps but definitely go for what you enjoy and think looks cool.

Heritage is really cool. I like how they recreate old topps card designs with the modern players. I’ll buy one off cards of rookies in that set but they’re mostly in the high number set that releases later in the year.
I’ll organically build the sets of flagship and chrome and will chase one off rookies, autos, and numbered cards.
My favorite baseball card in my collection is a gold Acuna rookie auto numbered to 50 I bought off of eBay his rookie year. My favorite/best pull from a pack was a gold Vlad Jr. chrome rookie auto numbered to 50. I was shocked to see that in a pack.

I blame this game and its partnership with Topps for getting me back into the hobby. In fact, I've started collecting the actual cards that have appeared in the game. It's been a fun hobby.

That’s crazy, I’m doing the same thing. Have a huge spreadsheet from all the real life cards from The Show 17, 18, 19, 20. It’s like 800 something cards lol

Nice! I have an excel spreadsheet that has all the cards dating back to MLB The Show 15, the first year they featured 'actual' cards. It's also the first year I began playing Diamond Dynasty. I'm up to 1250 of the 1300 cards that have been in the game, if you include reprints.

wow you're killing it if you have like 95% of the cards! wow!! I only have about 200 of the 800 on my spreadsheet. Is there anyway you could share your data from 15 and 16? If it's not too much trouble. I would like to include the cards from those games into my collection!! I know there will be some overlap of cards but there are definitely some cards in 15 and 16 that didn't make it into the later games.

Nice man!! Definitely gonna start me an Acuna Collections. If he stays healthy and keeps producing he's gonna be this era's griffey for me. Not saying he'll be as great as griffey. Just talking about the excitement and enjoyment I get watching him play, just as I did as kid watching griffey
