Mega Mania is upon us. That’s Bowman Mega, the retail-only product that is typically sold out in one foul swoop by hoarding collectors. While there isn’t a hard-set date for the release of this year’s Mega, it’s believe to be May 22, which is when some Topps coupons have announced.

While at Target picking up a few things I took a gander at the card section and was surprised to see blasters of 2019 Topps Big League.

Ben Zobrist visited Club 400 on Thursday May 2, 2019. He took pictures with fans in attendance, and each person with a ticket to the event received a signed World Series baseball by Zobrist. Here is the video from Zobrist’s Q&A session.

Apologies to Ice Cube, as I steal his line, but Friday was a good day for Cubs fans. Kyle Hendricks pitched a gem over the Cardinals, and I received some sweet Cubs packages. As I returned home from Chicago I had some mail from Friday to open, thanks to Courtney and Michael. Courtney and IContinue reading “Friday Mailday: It Was a Good Day”

When it was first announced Ben Zobrist was appearing at a Club 400 event, I initially was going to pass. And then Stewart McVicar, owner of Club 400, announced a couple more Cubs were coming. In all, SIX Cubs would be appearing at the May 2, 2019 event. The ticket itself is a collector’s item.Continue reading “Ben Zobrist Among a 6-Pack of Cubs at Club 400”
