My wife is a teacher and I am a former teacher. First thing, you are right about how the students are suffering, my wife notices it every day, it’s terrible. However, the idea that teachers are less likely to get it in school than the community/dist learning is laughable. 1/7
People that are seeing the video of the truck driver on 35W, do you see why no other cars were with him? That’s because they had all stopped and were turning around to go up the NB exit. This driver continued despite this.
Unfortunately I am looking to slowly part ways with a couple higher end Mauer cards in the next couple weeks. Would prefer them to go to someone here first.

Every year within the first month or so we would get sick with some bug. Schools are petri dishes and it’s just unavoidable. Look at Bloomington, didn’t even make it 2 wks and they had to go to full dist. again b/c a large chunk of the trans. dept tested positive. 2/7

If my wife tests + our child can’t go to daycare for 2 wks while my wife still has to teach from home. So not only do we have to pay for 2 wks of daycare I have no idea how we would take care of him. Why do teachers yet again have to sacrifice themselves/their families? 5/7
Looking to move this Kirilloff Rookie Red Auto (/25).
Not seeing any direct comps recently but a Topps Chrome Silver Pack sticker-auto (/99) went for $55ish (iirc) most recently.

So guess what happens when contracts are up and they negotiate? Raises and benefit increases are frozen while healthcare and childcare costs continue to rise. So again, why are we so casually throwing our teachers/staff aside? Why not wait until they are all vaccinated? 7/7
12 card PSA bulk value sub just arrived 🔥
Mailed out: 03/04
Marked as received: 03/20
Graded: 04/04
Arrived: 04/09
Not too bad for $15/card. Overall happy with the grades, although for almost all of them it wasn’t going to be a huge deal either way.
Pics ⬇️
And it’s finished! Didn’t win the Correa Logofractor but I think the Sano Cosmic works great too.
Time to set up another themed page!
#MNTwins
#WeBelieveinTC
Decided that I’m going to try and do some fun themes in the
#MNTwins
binder. Keeping it to a page each.
Almost done with the “gold refractor” page with unique players and sets. (Mauer aside)
Anyone have a suggestion for the final card? Bonus points if it’s for sale and <$10
Here’s a card in my collection I don’t look at enough! Game used Raiders! Quote this tweet with one from your collection! Let’s see those cards that don’t see the light of day very often!
#sportscards
Was very lucky to catch this right after it was posted. Not too often you see numbered parallels of this one get listed and for a reasonable price. The orange is /199.
Updated family pic as well.

We also just had our first child (15 weeks😊) and when we discussed my wife going back to work with our pediatrician (head pediatrician) she couldn’t believe the district was forcing her back. She thought it was incredibly dumb we as a society were even debating in-person. 3/7
Also looking to move this as well, will have some other Twins stuff tonight too.

#MNTwins
First we’ll do some eBay pickups!
Have a good amount of previous mail days too that I forgot about 😂
You’ve seen the card, now you get to see it in this sweet case people shared with me! Built specifically for GQ mini booklets, it’s perfect.

Alright, gonna post a few things tonight through tomorrow night. Try to do a mix of Twins/non-Twins. So let’s remove the guessing and just do a straight giveaway.
🔁 and follow and tomorrow night I’ll pick a random for these Buxtons ⬇️
Fun mail day today! First is a pair of Mauer cards numbered to /10 and second is 2 new slabs added to the Kirilloff collection. Now when will the

Pretty sure if you don’t earn an income you don’t file for tax returns.
Could be wrong of course but my understanding is in order to get any credits for kids you have to have earned income.
Alright, if this doesn’t sell my algorithm is cooked 😭

Haven't been buying a ton of Mauer stuff lately but this hard to find 2015 Topps Heritage Gold Refractor (/5) popped up and I had to grab it!

#thehobby
Wild are having a down year which just means it’s a great time to buy Kaprizov!
These Allure autos are great looking cards and felt like a steal.
Added another Metal insert and an epic Fanimation insert 😂

Big mail day today! I originally spotted this SSP at a LCS a few years back and passed on it. Happy to see one pop up online and had to grab it.
Only one more Topps flagship SSP to go! (2017 warm up jersey if anyone sees it)

In the past 11 years if a golfer on the PGA tour was leading after 3 rounds they went on to win 42% of the time.
Tiger won 95% of the time it happened. (44 times)
He’s also currently the only player under 50 to win 25 times on the tour, his 25th win was in 2001.

My wife was hit by a car a few years ago while crossing the road and it sped off. The officer that responded to the call told her it would be a waste of his time to file the report. "To Protect with Courage, To Serve with Compassion!" my ass.
Time for another

Absolutely love E-X and you can kinda tell from this picture how the sky is see through.

@Topps
was to not include Mauer in 2018 Topps Chrome.
While the paper/sapphire parallels are so sweet, I can’t imagine what a full 🌈 would look like 😔
At least Dozier had a cool pic too ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I am now at the stage where I am bribing my son with everything.
You want some animal crackers? Better try to go on the potty.
You want me to set up the Hot Wheels track?
Eh, gonna need you to eat those carrots.
Please keep me in your thoughts, should be “terrible 3s” not 2s

Another thing no one is talking about is the expense aspect. School districts are running out of money or could run out due to rising sub costs of hybrid/in-person learning, increases in cost of transportation, etc. 6/7
Missed the bday wishes so it’s a happy belated birthday to Joe Mauer!
Updated family pics of a couple sets I’m working on. Will try to post some other favorites in a 🧵 throughout the day too!
