Girl dad. Middle school hall monitor. I collect cardboard. ❤️ Dogs, music, vinyl, LA Rams, Mets and Devils! Cooper Kupp is the man 👍 Deer whisperer 🦌 😂
Got permission from this little guys mom to post this video. He asks me every day if I have a Gregor Korbel card. Never heard of him 🤷🏻♂️ Best $2.12 I ever spent on eBay. Why we do it right here 👍👊
If you told me that someday I would miss the NFL Draft to be in a middle school musical I’d say you were nuts. But when your daughter is the music teacher and says she needs a policeman? You make your stage debut at 65 🤷🏻♂️🤣❤️
6th grade boy sat down next to me while waiting for the bathroom (2 at a time limit 🤷🏻♂️) Asked me if I was the person handing out cards before Xmas break. He said because of me he now has a card addiction. Bought a 400 card binder on Amazon. He has no idea how good he made me feel
Gus has those cloudy eyes. Doesn’t see so great. Hearing is going also. Back legs are giving out. He will be 13 in October. My last Labrador only made it to 10. We know we’re on borrowed time. So when he gives you the I want to go upstairs and go to bed face? We go upstairs ❤️🙏🏻
Its here! I was a lucky Mystery Jersey winner from the unbelievably gracious Johnna
@blueshockeygrl
No mystery here! I’m an avid Devils fan and Johnna went old school! 😳 Did you really message me saying “ I hope you like it” I’m floored! Thank you thank you thank you Johnna! ❤️
If you’re a Rams fan and you grew up checking the standings in this division in the newspaper I hope you’re enjoying every minute of this season...
Los Angeles Rams

My principal called me into the office today. “Do you know your video has over 118k views?” Yes I do. “We need to send an email to his mother and let her know” 🤷🏻♂️🤣

My brother sent me a text last night and asked if I could text him back the pic of our dad (his son’s grandfather) at the 1952 World Series standing next to Jackie Robinson. His son’s elementary class is learning about Jackie. My nephew is so going to ace this class now 👊👍😂❤️
Wishing my beautiful wife a Happy 38th Anniversary. That’s a long time to be putting up with my shenanigans 🤣 Still haven’t convinced her to join Twitter 🤷🏻♂️ I have caught her feeding the deer 🤫 Love you Valerie ❤️
#FionatomyShrek
Twitter: Did you buy Topps 2020 Project cards or Project 70 cards?
Me: Yes Twitter: You’ll never get your money back. They’ll only go down in price. Me: it’s art. Not an investment. I want to support the artists.
Twitter: 🤔
Everyone stopped short except for the motorcyclist who was speeding behind my daughters car. Both are fine. He went to the hospital but he was more concerned about my daughter. I can’t believe he is ok. Thank god 🙏🏻❤️
Ryan’s mom told him he had to wait to open the box from
@PaniniAmerica
until he came over my house. He waited almost a week. His grandmother wanted him to take a bath first after his baseball game. That wasn’t happening 🤣 He waited long enough. Thank you
@DJKAZMIERCZAK
👊
Cafeteria woman: Thank u 4 giving my son baseball cards. I’ve never seen him interested in ANYTHING before! Had 2 buy him something to put them in. Spent all last night putting them in his “book” Thank u 2 all who sent me cards. Hope this makes you feel as good as it did me 🙏🏻❤️
I have a 6th grade student who just moved to our district from NY. Trouble making new friends. Sits alone at lunch until I show up. Asked me if he could get soccer cards for his birthday. He will. Plus all this because of all of you! Know that you are making a difference 👊🙏🏻❤️
Good morning Ruth
@RuthTiska
Struggling to believe you’re gone. This is my last “Good morning Ruth” tweet as I know you are now very busy watching over
@TiskaSue
@rookie4603
and your enormous Twitter family that has come to love you so much. Heaven is a whole lot brighter ❤️
I’m usually NEVER at a loss for words but
@PaniniAmerica
you succeeded 😳 I just had one of my middle schoolers asking me for more soccer cards too 👍 I love the Panini journal and my hat! Winter is coming. Thank you so much ❤️ This is crazy!
#payitforward
5) Day 2 made! Me and the lovely
@TiskaSue
Of course she brought her pack mule Patty
@rookie4603
along 😂 Trust me, Patty is not invisible. She’s just behind us all the way in the back (inside joke) ❤️

47 people combined to send me a RAK. 10 people of which we weren’t following each other 🤷🏻♂️ Below the video will be a screenshot of the names who did this and continue to make this hobby community great! Apologize in advance for my awkwardness. Much easier to give than receive ❤️
Ryan was here. I let him know a “couple” friends will be providing him with a mail day. We went over what a RAK is, paying it forward, #’d and patch cards, auto’s. Left with some cards, holders, sleeves, and stands from me. Boy is he going to need them 🤣Thank you all so much! ❤️
Post this pic of my dad every year on Jackie Robinson Day ❤️ A relative had an extra press pass for one of the 1952 World Series games against the Yankees. His beloved Dodgers lost in 7 games.
Showing off but had to share! When you work hard, you can treat yourself right! I can’t express the happiness I’m feeling! White was the only color they had, but it doesn’t matter 🥰 I just purchased 4 of these wonderful lawn chairs! Sorry, this dude parked right in my shot!
Dear
@RamsNFL
These are your new 2020 Home/Away and Home/Away throwback uniforms. DO NOT OVER THINK THIS! You’ve made us wait way too long to screw this up.
Wishing a Happy 37th Anniversary to this beauty. Amazing wife, mother and most of all my best friend. 37 years is a lot of Shop-Rite “date nights” 😂 Below is a pic of our honeymoon passports. Why she chose to marry Borat is still mind boggling to me but I’m so lucky she did ❤️🥰
A bit extreme? I bought a card on eBay. It came in a ripped bubble mailer. That was in a brown box. Which was in a FedEx box. That was in a bigger FedEx box. I 💩you not! ONE CARD! 😂
A student took this pic on the 8th grade trip to Philadelphia that I chaperoned last May. They have since moved on to high school. The boy had the pic blown up and framed. His dad made a copy and framed it for me. Can’t tell you how much I love this! ❤️
The response to this video was nothing short of amazing. Thank you! That said, I had another 6th grade student ask me today if I had a Lionel Messi card? I guess I’m hitting up eBay. Looks like another video will have to happen 🤷🏻♂️❤️

I like to send out RAK’s. Especially to someone’s child. But when that person DM’s pics of said child with the cards they received with a huge smile? That is the reward my friends. Nothing much greater. I highly recommend. Try it. It’ll come back to you 10 fold. I promise ❤️
At dinner with my wife and 4 others. I see a young son and daughter with their parents. I ask dad if the kids like cards? The boy says we love Pokémon. I give them packs that I keep in my car. Go to pay our check, waitress says the dad paid for our desserts or apply it to bill❤️
For those that don’t know. The deer I bonded with the most all these years is Doelores. She had two fawns born behind my house. Deerdra and Deerick. This is them following in mommy’s hoof prints. Kids grow up so fast these days 🤣 This never gets old ❤️

1/2 Speechless! Bought a card on eBay. Thanked the woman 4 sending extra cards. Convo started. She liked the cards to my students thing. This huge box with >130 gift bags full of cards showed up. All the cards on the box were in 1 bag! Mets cards were for me (not keeping).
Happy 13th Birthday to our little man Gus! Wasn’t sure we’d get here together old man. A little dementia, back legs starting to give out, barking at nothing, getting up all hours of the night, carrying you up the stairs to go to bed? It’s all good Gus. Mommy and Daddy got you!❤️
It’s mandatory for 6th graders to read a minimum of 2 books every year for “Battle Books.” 1 girl is on her 8th book 😳 (she likes baseball). I walked in her classroom and gave her packs that amounted to > 100 cards. Teacher: Those all for her? Me: You read books you get cards 👊
Just want to wish this beautiful young lady
@ltillustrations
good luck tomorrow as she goes in for yet another surgery. We’ll all be thinking about you 🙏🏻❤️
Finally found a use 4 my empty
@PaniniAmerica
Flawless case I bought years ago. Put in special packs of cards. Whenever a teacher (or me) sees a student do something nice/kind they can tell or email me students name. I will bring the case to them and they get to choose a pack👊❤️
Our newest little hobby friend Ryan has been truly blessed by this community! Even though I know he has some more mail days ahead he doesn’t need any more. You have all made a powerful impact on him, his mom, grandmother, my wife and myself. I thank you all with all my heart ❤️
Good morning in heaven my dearest Ruth. It’s been over 3 months of daily shoutouts of remembrance from me. I heard you telling me to stop a long time ago 😂 We had hoped to meet at The National but god had other plans for you. Love and miss you. Your friend always, Tony ❤️😇🙏🏻
It happened! After MANY Project 2020 and 70 cards I finally hit a foil. Couldn’t be happier. How ironic that the artist that got me started buying art
@blakejamieson
it’s his card! I thought this card was both funny and brilliant. I remember watching this when it happened
@Topps
First person to sign my baseball (by design) was none other than our Chairman of the Board and RAK Master General

👊 Awesome meeting you my friend! 👍
Ryan’s mail day

came early today. You guys are incredible! 😳 After a day off yesterday for the holiday look what showed up 👊 I’m going to be doing “thank you’s” all night! ❤️
#grateful
Yesterday a teacher asked me if I would join the book club.”The kids love you” she said. Of course I’ve given out over 5000 sports cards 😂 Now I think I’ll tell them anyone who signs up to read with us will get a another pack of cards. Let’s see if I can entice them to read 🙏🏻🤷🏻♂️
She is not on Twitter but I’m wishing my best friend, better half and the most amazing person I know a very Happy Birthday! Valerie is not a huge football fan but is still spending her special day attending the Rams game with me 😳 Quite a catch ❤️
Well there’s this. My principal put me on the school’s Facebook page 🤷🏻♂️ 7 students down. 70 to go. I apologize in advance. Get ready for a full week of photos 🤷🏻♂️👍👊🙏🏻❤️
Air quality may be horrible for the 8th Grade trip to Philadelphia but the quality of my co-chaperone is top notch. This is what happens when your daughter is a teacher in the same school 🤷🏻♂️❤️
According to my source (pictured 😂) this beautiful young lady will be on the Kelly Clarkson Show on April 6th 😳 Talking about her journey and more. From a dark place to a shining light. I cannot wait to watch the talented and inspiring

My librarian Ms. Casey getting ready to give out packs of cards for students who completed a research challenge today. That mountain of cards were all donated by people like yourselves! 👍👊🙏🏻❤️
Thank you
@ZoroRivera
I ordered and paid for this on March 21st. Received it 6 days later. That’s how you do it! Hey
@pinksurvivor70
remember how long I waited for an item from someone else 😂😢😂😢😂😢
Always wanted to collect some hall of fame signatures. Not necessarily guys in the Hall of Fame but great looking auto’s. Dale’s first. List will include Rickey, Harmon, Kaline, Rice, Keith Hernandez, Griffey Jr. (this may be a while 💰😂). Feel free to add some sweet signatures.
Happy Heavenly Birthday dad! Can’t believe it’s been 12 years already. One of our favorite photos of you rocking your granddaughter to sleep when she was sick. She is 31 now and I’m exactly as old as you were in this pic 🤷🏻♂️🙏🏻❤️ 😇
Today was my day to give out a RAK. Which I did. But I received one as well. WOW!Thank you

A few years ago my best friend lost his son to drug addiction. I wrote this poem as a form of therapy for myself. This week I have to go to yet another funeral. A beautiful 33 year old woman who was my bartending partner for many a Friday night. Don’t judge. Choose compassion ❤️
When your daughter is the music teacher in the same middle school you work at and she says she needs a policeman for her Spring Musical “Newsies” 🤷🏻♂️I even have a line 😳🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Didn’t think when I joined Twitter I’d make friends and actually care about people I’ve never met. Some I was lucky enough to meet. Some I consider family. Sometimes we share problems in DM’s. 2 all my friends going thru anything I wish you and yours great health/better days👊❤️
Another year and another daughters wedding in the books. 2 down and 1 to go next year. To all you girl dads out there I salute you. Just hope you don’t have 3 in 3 years 😩 $$$ 😂 ❤️

At the eye doc for mom. Gets a shot in her eye 😫 once every three months. There are only 2 other women in the waiting room with us. I just said out loud “all I see are beautiful women in here. Nothing wrong with my eyes” The women laughed. Mom smacked me in the head 🤷🏻♂️😂
Bought this card from
@cardguymike1
Told him I hate sticker auto’s. Every autographed card I own is on card. Made an exception because who doesn’t love
@Jim_Everett
and it’s a beauty. Jim messaged me his address and signed it! 😳 So every signed card I own is still on card 👊👏
Teacher told me her student, that I gave cards to last week, was so excited that he found an Aaron Judge that he keeps it in his lanyard. I asked her to find out what teams he likes. Today I gave him Yankees/Giants and a nice Aaron Judge in a magnetic one touch and a card stand❤️
My dad passed 12 years ago today. This is my favorite piece of memorabilia. Big Al at the 1952 World Series with Jackie, Campy and Gil. Playing baseball and then fast pitch softball was his passion. Loved to flash the leather at 3rd base. Play 2 today dad. See you when I see u ❤️
Currently in the “Where Husbands Go To Die” section as 2 of my daughters help my wife look for yet another (3rd year in a row 😳🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️) Mother of the Bride dress 😩 🤣
Estate Sale find today for the price of a blaster box. Some of you guys and gals will have a mail day. Plus I have some cards for the kids at school
