This podcast mirrors the “Holliday Memories” newsletter we posted recently. It happens to have two great contributions from two of our great contributors, Patrick Imhoff and Scott Hedrick!

While one of the main subjects about this podcast is the arrival (and departure) of MLB’s top prospect, Jackson Holliday, to the major leagues, the biggest story in the podcast episode is actually what Happy Hobbyist Scott Hedrick shares.

Scott explains how our sports card hobby has affected his family positively in a major way, and it really is one of the more heartwarming stories I’ve heard about this hobby.

We also discuss the amazingness that is Dave Winfield — one of the greatest athletes in the history of the 20th century!

Patrick Imhoff shares which cards you’ll want to scoop up of Jackson Holliday’s, and now that he bounced back to the minors, you should be able to get them at an even better price!

I also thought it would be fun to rank my five favorite Topps card designs from the last quarter of the last century. What were your favorite card designs?

We also go back in time to 1992 for the latest “Cards That Make Us Happy,'“ with a closer look at Mariano Rivera’s Bowman rookie card. Such a classic look!

Dan Herman, of the Dan’s Sports Card Stack newsletter, chimes in with a great recap of a game from 2005, with Braves rookie Ryan Langerhans saving the day against the Astros!

Finally, our latest poll asked you which set of rookie cards from baseball, basketball and football, would you want the most from these years: 2011, 2013, 2015, 2018 and 2023?

Let us know what you think of the podcast and the newsletter!

Have a Happy Hobby!
