When you talk Game 7 of the World Series, you have to first take a step back and realize what’s at stake. The regular season is 162 games long… That is a long season for any athlete. And now you have to play another month as pressure builds with each inning… each out… each pitch. Some people love the pressure… Others, not so much. But when I go back and think through game 7 of world series all-time highlights, a few come to mind for me.

Read moreBest Home Run Rob of All Time?
Is there a better play in baseball than robbing a home run? I don’t think so… To rob a HR you have to have immaculate timing and a feel where the warning track is, where the wall is, where you are in the outfield, etc. If the ball has enough height and you have its trajectory down, you can make that glance at the wall so you can try to Griffey that sh*t…
Read morebuying and FLIPPING in '99
My first learnings as a business man came from buying and flipping gangsta rap CD’s in the 90’s. I crushed some sales with unreal profits but learned about inventory purchased that couldn’t be moved… the rap CD hustle showed me how I could make money by finding a niche that everybody hasn’t nestled all up in yet. I found opportunities as a kid in the late 90’s and made money off my passion of hip hop. that was so cool… i want to do it again…

Read moreGUNNAR HENDERSON OR BUST
Have you ever seen athleticism that just jumps off the screen? Think Vince Carter dunking his whole career. Think Randy Moss galloping down the sidelines and catching a bomb… Well that’s what I felt when I saw Gunnar Henderson play for the first time. It was during the Futures game a couple of years ago and he just looked cool. He played cool too… The game was nice, the hair was flowy, and he had a Charlie Hustle type demeanor sliding all around the dirt. You up on Gunnar though?

This is a story about getting back into the sports card hobby only to find out that cards ain’t cheap anymore! For those with deep pockets, this doesn’t present an issue but if funds are low and have you some kids in the hobby, you’re going to need some outlets to get your fix at a low cost.

Read moreSPORTS CARD PACK RIPPIN WITH MURS
Ripped a few packs with Murs recently and we caught a vibe. Never a bad time when you can revisit the sports card hobby we all loved so much growing up. Really cool to see the pandemic give the hobby a boost and it’s definitely here to stay with more people jumping back into it.
Read moreJAZZ CHISHOLM OR BUST
If I had to compare Jazz to a rapper it would have to be none other that JID. JID stays in the pocket of every verse and just jabs with lyrical drip that has you going… wait… what? JID is just one of those dudes, like Jazz Chisholm, that is accumulating points and ascending to superstardom. We know J. Cole has JID’s best interests but do the Miami Marlins have the vision to keep Jazz and lock him up long term?
Read moreMid90s PRESENTS: THE EXCHANGE
As a kid in the late 80’s, my older brother, dad, and I would take a drive down to Mission Valley the first Friday of every month. Sports cards were widely popular when we were kids and the Scottish Rite Event Center was the spot for our beloved monthly baseball card show. We would hit the show every month with a little bit of pocket money that we’d spend on packs of cards, singles of players we liked, and supplies that we needed to sleeve up our good cards. Ahhhh… the good ole days in sunny San Diego at the Scottish Rite Center as a young sports card nerd.
Read moreJUAN SOTO BASEBALL CARDS
Seeing Juan Soto rockin a Trea Turner jersey at the Dodgers Wild Card game a few days ago was absolute money. It’s this type of camaraderie that makes me love baseball so much. You just never see things like that happen. Soto, Scherzer, and Scherzer celebrating with each others after the big Dodgers win was super cool. Soto was a fan that night of good baseball. He could have been anywhere else but he chose to support his boys. Mad respect right there!
Read more80’S AND 90’s FOOTBALL CARD CHASING
Growing up, I was a big Denver Broncos fan so of course John Elway was my guy. I tried to emulate my pick up football game around Randall Cunningham and John Elway. I remember crying myself to sleep when the Broncos lost the Super Bowl at Jack Murphy Stadium back in 1988. They got absolutely smashed as the Redskins dropped 35 in the 2nd quarter which is about as rough as you can get. I wore my Elway jersey to watch the game and was totally devastated by the loss.
Read moreFOOTBALL CARDS TO INVEST IN
For the last 25 years of my life I have been a diehard Fantasy Football guy. I used to buy the draft magazines, do all of the studying, catch all of the Matthew Berry segments, make sick ranking spreadsheets, and listen to podcasts left and right. From there I’d have my fantasy drafts and then be stuck with my teams for a whole season. Sure there’s the weekly waiver wire to plan for and trades to be made throughout the season but how many of us in our 40’s really want to scour homies’ rosters and try to make a trade? Yeah… Literally nobody. So this season I’m going to focus energy on stacking my modern football card collection and see if the knowledge I gain there helps on the fantasy football side of things.

This Acuna Project 70 is so dope. I don’t own it yet but will in due time.
Alright look…. I’m just settling down at my computer and I’m finally getting into the new Benny the Butcher & Harry Fraud album, The Plugs I Met 2 as well as the new Kota the Friend & Statik Selektah album. They both dropped yesterday and I think these are 2 special albums that could go down as albums of the year. My wife is way into NCIS reruns (or something similar) in the living room and my baby boy is fast asleep in his crib. This means that I have maybe an hour before I have to get back to daddy duty so we’re going to make the most of this time together.
