Here's this month's roundup of items that have recently caught my eye as a buyer ...

--

RETRO RECORD-HOLDER
The Card: Roger Maris 2014 Panini Classics Home Run Heroes Jerseys (/25)
The Price: $30
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: I ponied up a little bit for this one vs. my typical range for Maris mem cards since it's a rarer card, has a material (jersey/pants) swatch vs. a bat and is from a brand that packed a lot of potential for big names back in the day. Yet, at the same time, that price was a bargain. Yes, its centering is just slightly off, but otherwise it's clean -- that errant spot on the right side is part of the printed design on all cards here. It was an easy addition for a player I collect and pick off stuff for a few times a year. Those top corners are really clean on this one, which might not always be the case with those bold colors.
Grab a box right here: Nothing for this ... but MLB cards are here.

A new twist on cardboard arrives in 2025 Bowman.

It's the Bowman Red Rookie Redemption program and it allows for card-holders of certain versions of Chrome Rookie Cards found in packs to be held for Fanatics FanCash in the short term or for the long haul.

Thirty rookies will be part of the program and if one wins Rookie of the Year then it's good for $100 in credit. Then there are escalators for MVP or Cy Young awards ... and if one wants to collect for the long haul then they're good for $1,000 credit if that player makes the Hall of Fame.

Keep reading for full info, a gallery of the cards and the player list.
