? #Topps Baseball Card Giveaway ?

The ? Sliders & Curveballs Podcast is honored to collaborate with Topps Artist, @paul_jennis and his new Game Within The Game, 2021 artist series cards, on our family sports podcast.

Simply, Pitch Us A Question. Anything non trivia, sports related, for Father/8 yr old son to answer on our show. (Example: Will Danny Hurley win a National Championship coaching UConn?) If we select your question, you get a collectible Topps card in the mail.

First up, is Atlanta Braves, slugger, Ronald Acuna Jr. (card pic below)

Next show drops Tuesday February 16th, so enter today! You can post questions right in this thread or DM me privately.

Thanks for listening. Good luck!

Sliders & Curveballs • A podcast on Spotify for Podcasters

A Father and his now 11 year old son are figuring out the sports world together. Forty years of experiences separate Mike and Joseph. Both will try and tackle history’s classic debates and the modern sports landscape. Everything’s fair game. It’s their perspective. They’re probably horribly wrong.

Keep the DM’s coming. Or post questions here. Here’s a few examples of Paul’s 2020 cards. Very cool.

Contest ends Tuesday morning. We record that afternoon.

 

[Giscombe12]

Who will win the World Series first, the Red Sox, Yankees or Mets?

 

[Old school]

Who will win the mvp awards in both leagues this year?

 

[Palatine]

Who will win the mvp awards in both leagues this year?

No one, you can only win the MVP in one league in a single year.

 

[GemParty]

Appreciate the fun questions. How do you like Topps Artist cards versus the standard photography ones? Project 70 comes out soon.

 

[Spaceman213J]

Who will win the AL East and how many games behind will the Red Sox and Orioles be combined.

I recently got back into collecting cards with my son and it’s a whole new world with what’s out there. I got into doing live breaks where you bid on a team usually on eBay and They do live breaks streamed on YouTube or Facebook and then they send you all the cards with the teams you have. It’s a lot of fun since it’s impossible to find cards in the store and they are crazy priced online.

I agree it’s hard to find 2021, at retail stores. We managed to see 3 packs this week at a Walmart and bought 2, leaving the 3rd pack for another fan. Hit a few cool RC and a nice Acuna refractor. Nothing special.

I’m into the Artistic cards. Some are really creative. Others a bit too artsy for my tastes. Looking forward to the Project 70 stuff. Collecting with my son is cool.

Pitch Us A Question. Listen & win. The Acuna GWG card is really nice. He has 15 more on the 2021 checklist. Some epic players.

Thanks. Good Luck!

Sounds good I’ll definitely check it out. My Walmart is bare. Pulled a nice Luis Robert auto optic rated prospect #8/20. I’ll check out the podcast tomorrow

 

[HuskyFich]

hopefully my question wins!

If you’re interested in selling, let’s talk...

 

[Magic32]

Will the Yankees try to find a taker for Stanton and his inflated contract?

 

[Giscombe12]

I can never find any packs at retail. I ripped a hobby box of 2021 Series 1 but nothing special to write home about.

 

[GemParty]

Excellent & thoughtful questions. Lots of DM ones too. That’s cool, because nobody will be tempted to answer within the thread. Keep them coming! I’m shocked how many kids asked questions via parents on Twitter & FB. Love it. There will be plenty of other great cards contests too! Episode drops tomorrow night, listen to win!

NFL, MLB, NHL & NBA- players under 24 who are most likely to win an mvp. Who’s the future of the major sports?

Awesome tough question!

 

[ClifSpliffy]

obviously, according to some posts here, the card folks are failing miserably in having their product out there in regular, and busy, retail locales. none at wallyworld? repeatedly?
Q: whose fault is that, and why is this not fixed? are they allergic to money? do they hate kids?
please don't tell me that the whole card game has become another formerly normal pastime, now only practiced by opeepo living in the basement, and 24/7 online buying and selling cabbage patch dolls, or pokemon cards. please don't.

They should be at every retail store and 7-11 just like the old days. You shouldn’t have to look very far to rip packs!

 

[Old school]

Couple of questions for the podcast
will any nba team defeat the Lakers this year for the championship?
how much longer will Tom Brady play and will he win any more championships?
how soon will it take before Dan Hurley gets to coach against his brother Bobby?
