While a lot of sports fans are focusing on this year's NBA All-Star Weekend, the Winter Olympics, and pitchers & catchers reporting to Spring Training... I'm still coming down from my Super Bowl high. But I did open up a padded envelope yesterday that's getting me back into the spirit of baseball.
Pennsylvania Mike left a comment on my 2025 Topps Holiday advent calendar post. He offered to help me out... and he wasn't joking. It's probably easier to let this visual do the talking:
That's a jump from 70.5% to 88% complete. He included some key cards including the Jacob Wilson & Roki Sasaki rookie cards, plus the batting version of Shohei Ohtani and a bunch of other MLB superstars.
My set needs are down to twenty-four cards:
2025 Topps Holiday Gold Lights #H48
2025 Topps Holiday Light Blue & White Glitter #H80
2025 Topps Holiday Gold Lights #H80
The Topps Holiday advent calendars only came with the holiday green plaid parallels, so these two parallels were new to me. I haven't been this excited about one of these holiday sets in several years.
Thank you Mike for helping me out. I have a stack of Tigers from the 2025 Topps Update that I'll be sending your way this week. I still have this wicked cough, but other than that... I'm pretty much back to normal. Plus I have this week off from work, so I'll definitely schedule time to hit the post office.
As for the rest of y'all, here is today's question of the day:
Anyone watching the Winter Olympics or NBA All-Star Weekend events?
If so, which ones?
Although I won't be watching any of the Olympic events live, I will definitely watch all of the snowboarding highlights. I'm also interested in seeing the highlights from both of Team USA men's hockey games.
I hope all of you enjoy your Hallmark holiday! Happy Valentine's Day and sayonara!

Wow, nothing like getting a big chunk all at once. Nice.
I bet I have some of your Topps Holiday needs. I’ll check tonight and get back to you this weekend.
My daughter and I have been watching the Olympics as much as we can. She was not happy with the ice dancing results 😡
Gotta love it when your set build is going in the right direction. Also gotta love it when baseball season is approaching and 2026 baseball cards are released.
Thats pretty cool of him.
I watch the Winter Olympics every 5 years, especially Team USA Hockey, lots of Michigan guys, and that's always cool. USA 🇺🇸 Go Blue?m!
