Gave a video like. What a great care package from Mike. Such a great guy, glad I got to meet him at the National this past year. I have something set aside I want to send you later this year. What's the best way to get your contact info to mail you something?

Great stuff from Mike. He’s such a nice dude. That Willson Contreras is a beauty. Will be fun to see him at first this year where hopefully he can stay healthy. Always liked Willy. Mason Winn may have a breakout year too. Have a great weekend bud

This community is so awesome!

What an awesome gift! This community is the best! Thanks for sharing and have a great day!

Hi Andy! Yes, the calm before the Christmas storm. My kids are older so we can thankfully start a little later. Nice gifts from Mike. I like Score football best of the modern products because they will actually put some other players in besides just the skill position players. The past players are a nice touch too. They are also relatively inexpensive making them kid friendly. 70 Topps Earl Morrall - nice. Probably the best backup of his era. Thanks for sharing.

FUN gift from your hobby pal, Mike! Have a GREAT week! Thanks for sharing

Great mailday from Mike. Nice Frank Thomas add. Also a heads up, there will be a lot of cards you think you have but you don't. Just part of the player collecting game.

Congrats on the great mail day Andy. Those were fantastic cards. Thanks for sharing.

Great stuff from Mike! It's another example of how great people are here in our little corner of 'The Tubes'!!! Have a good week Andy! Love all of those Colts Score cards!

Good luck Andy! Love the goal of a marathon man! Good luck!

Hello Andy, wow you received a great care package from Scootscollectibles, very generous gift ! I had a Jerry Rice Raiders booblehead but "he looked" a little strange at me...😁, the booblehead looked a little bit as a wodoo doll and i prefered to sold it ...😁. One of the very very rare item i had sold from my collection ! The last year Cincinnati Bengals defensive coordinator have just signed with the Colts...😉. Thanks you for sharing and have a great week.

Nice cards from Mike. Lots of cards I see that are in your realm of fandom. Andrew Luck is always a guy I like to collect.

Awesome mail day 😃

Awesome cards from Mike

Awesome gifts from Mike! Very generous of him! Nice bunch of Colts cards and the Topps Holiday cards are always fun! Cool to get a new Frank Thomas card to the young man’s collection too!

You’re very welcome, glad you enjoyed them. Hopefully your wife got her package, haha! You had me laughing about the rare photo of Richardson that was great! Have a good week buddy talk to you soon!

Hi Andy What a great gift from Mike, some sweet cards! Mike is a great guy and a fantastic member of this community! You had me smiling when you said you get up early to enjoy a peaceful cup of coffee before Christmas morning begins. For years we hosted 25-30 family members for Christmas dinner so once the day began it was non stop until almost midnight, that quiet cup of coffee in the morning was always needed!

Nice job Scoots and Lil Scoots. What a great community. Great looking patch card at the end. I wish they would put some grass stains on those before they encase them. :o) We need to start pushing for Boyer for the HOF. We have 3 years. Let's see your Boyer run!

Lets goooo! Love to see it, thumbs up. Sweet AUTO!!

That was great. Love seeing the community being so generous with eachother.

Hi Andy! Wow! That’s a fantastic gift from Mike. He’s very generous and a great member of the community. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day!!!

Extremely generous of Mike to send those cards. The Score set is great. That Walker is a great looking cards. I sure hope he can turn things around. Great stuff Andy. Talk to you soon.

What an awesome mailday from Mike over at Scoots collectables. I love the celebration Anthony Richardson card. I was a TY Hilton fan as well. The Matt Holiday cards are nice. Cool to add some modern into the PC. Thanks for sharing Andy. Hope you are well!

Awesome my friend 🎉

I definitely need to step up my reading game. I first got into it starting with the 5th Harry Potter book because I couldn’t wait for the movies. Lol I got into the Game of Thrones but I stalled out part way through the 4th book when I knew George RR Martin was taking his time getting more books out. That was 9 years ago and still no new books or further reading from me. Haha I got into some sports books the last couple years but I definitely need to get into more. You had some great recommendations here. The Johnny U book seems like one I could get into. Also the Doris Kearns Goodwin book seemed very interesting. I believe she was one of the people interviewed for Ken Burn’s baseball especially because of her background with the Brooklyn Dodgers. I really enjoyed these reviews Andy!

The Storyteller!…the one and only Audio book I’ve ever listened to. It was fantastic hearing him read it. I’ll be honest I’m not a big reader but I also use a card as a bookmark when I do. I never knew that about why the goals are 10’…that’s wild. Have a great weekend my friend

Great video Andy. I really enjoyed this video. As a book enthusiast who buys more books that he reads it was fun to get some insight on other books. Stopping at a book store is always a must for us when we travel. Thanks for doing this video.

Thanks Andy for the recommendations and what to pass on. I've read a couple of the books you e shown. Thanks again!

Great job Andy! I also use cards for bookmarks. I enjoyed 20 Years Too Soon, by Quincy Trouppe, a few years back. Included his days with the Bismarck Churchills with Satchell Paige and Double-Duty Radcliffe. Also, Trouppe's days as a scout.

Some great recommendations Andy! I am also trying to read more, after watching this I will be adding the Lombardi, Bill Bradley, and Loose Balls books to my read list. I have about 6 books in the hopper so it might take a bit. Here are a few Sportsbooks I have enjoyed reading: Sandy Koufax by Jane Leavy The Big Fella by Jane Leavy Joe DiMaggio The hero's Life by Richard Ben Cramer Showboat The Life of Kobe Bryant by Roland Lazenby Michael Jordon The Life by Roland Lazenby Roberto Clemente The Passion and Grace of Baseball's Last Hero by David Maranass Hank Greenberg The heroe of Heroes by John Rosengren Ty Cobb A Terrible Beauty by Charles Leershen

Love the books! New supporter ❤

That Lenny Moore and Raymond Berry Auto card is amazing! Thanks for sharing!

From 1 collector to another I wish you the best in 2025 with your collection!

Awesome little batch of cards! Thanks for sharing!

Awesome collection of Sports Books! Thanks for sharing!

Really nice of Jim to send these your way, Andy. Great image of Musial on that Fleer card! Very nice cards of the Big Hurt for your son. Jim makes us Red Sox guys look good 😄 Thanks for sharing!

I appreciate this video, Andy. Thanks for sharing what you read last year. It encourages me to stick with it this year. I told myself I want to read more and go through some books that have been sitting on my shelves. I started reading Before the Glory which is about 20 different baseball players and what their lives were like growing up. So far so good and like you said, it will help me focus on some of these guys in my collecting. 10 pages a day is a good goal that I hope I can stick to. Happy reading this year!

Gave a video like. I'll be looking for that book Our Team now. Great job reaching your reading goal, Andy! Appreciate you sharing the books and a bit about each one.

I had never heard about the height of the basketball rim being equal to that original gym railing. Very interesting fact.

I wish I was pushing my 40s. lol How did the first basketball get constructed? Was it a soccer ball? I love when athletes have an unspoken connection with each other. It's like they can read each others mind. I stopped the video to go read about the "Punch." I was not aware or maybe I had forgotten. Long ago, I looked for a book on the unwritten rules of baseball. I even thought about writing one. If you know of a book that covers this, please let me know. Truth is, I don't care to read, but I wish I did. The few books I was forced to read in college I really enjoyed. While working for Uncle Sam, we were required to read; Lincoln on Leadership. It was an easy read and I enjoyed understanding how Lincoln made some of his decisions.

Congrats on reading 13 books this year Andy. Ibalways say i need to read way more often then i do. My wife is an avid reader. She read 98 books this past year she said. 😆 i know she is always reading during her free time, etc... That is pretty cool Bill Bradley ran for president. I did not know that. Nice seeing the run of sports books. Treasure Island! I've seen the movie! Lol. Fun stuff. Enjoyed.

Hi Andy, that is great you exceeded your reading goal for last year. For me, well thought out goals are a good thing. It gives you something to aim for. Personal goals are a way towards self improvement. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on some of the books you have read. I have not read as many books in recent years. I tend to spend more of my reading time on magazines. I go through my moods. I may have to read Loose Balls at some point. Thanks for sharing. All the best with meeting your 2025 reading goals.

Great bookmark! You were way more focused on sports this year than I was. I always say I'll read more sports related books but then I read some sci-fi. 3 books into the Sci-fi series, I'm like, hey, wasn't I going to read something else. If you want some running recommendations, 'Running with the Buffalos' is a great look at college running. For marathons, story related not training related, '26 Marathons' by Meb Keflezighi is one of my favorites because Meb is one of my favorites. 'Running the Dream' by Matt Fitzgerald is a great read as well. I was on a Matt Fitzgerald kick for a while, but this is my favorite of his. Both these are great because it goes through so much of the mental aspects of running.

Hello Andy, great video ! In thoses past days i would to edit a video : a book a month ! i LOVE reading even if like you i currently read less than i did in the past. I love to read anything i can find. I already sub to your books club...😉. All the books you showed look very interesting and i not yet read any of thoses ! I will urgently start with the Rick Reilly book " So Help me golf"...🤣, then i guess i will try to pickup the Bill Bradley book because he recently signed my TTM request ! About sports the best book i had ever read is "the Glory of Their Times" by Lawrence Ritter. During my youth i also used sports trading cards as bookmark....😁. Thanks my friend for sharing and Happy reading.

Hi Andy! Thanks so much for the kind words, I am honored to call you a friend! Glad you enjoyed the cards and I’m glad your son liked the Frank Thomas box topper! Sorry for the delayed response, I actually watched this last week but didn’t get a chance to comment. Life’s been a little crazy here lately! Talk to you soon, take care!

Great book recommendations. I usually pick up several books throughout the year but rarely get the opportunity to actually read the book in entirety. Take care, Andy

26.2 you got this Andy. Happy 2025

I feel envious towards readers, I wish my mind would help me as I got through a book. My wife reads some many books and I encourage my kids to read but I have yet to finish a book. Nearing 50 and may have only a few books under my cap. Best wishes in reading. This gave me a little itch to try again. Great video Andy.

Hi Andy! I’m not a big book reader but enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing, my friend!

Awesome job Andy! You crushed it. I also read the Johnny U book and it is really good. Great recap of the Vince Lombardi book because I actually started it a long long time ago and go so bored I completely stopped. I would be drawn to Rickey's little blue book as it pertains to the Pirates. Great goal to keep on reading in 2025! Great share!
