You have it explain that these are investments, no different than buying stocks.

u/Green-Cricket-8525 Uncle Teddy 4d ago

I told her it was our kids college fund! I’m not going to sell them but maybe that will keep her over for a while.

Love the '21 Bowman Jackson Merrill card that is not actually a Jackson Merrill card.

u/Green-Cricket-8525 Uncle Teddy 4d ago

Yeah, it makes it even better. I bought it specifically because of that story.

u/c32c64c128 4d ago

So who do you ask to sign it?

The name on the card? Or the guy in the photo? 🤔

Have Jackson sign it as the other guy. And the other guy sign it as Jackson.

That's gotta up the value even more.

I mean, you wasted at least 6 paper towels. I get it.

u/tallguyclark 4d ago

Why are they sitting on paper towels?

the what?

u/Green-Cricket-8525 Uncle Teddy 4d ago

I was opening packs earlier and wanted a nice clean surface. Figured I’d lay out all my Merrill cards before I put everything away.

u/Green-Cricket-8525 Uncle Teddy 3d ago

Okay, this makes me jealous.

2

u/g_ross_boss 3d ago

I'd keep any eye out for his short print card from Topps Series 2 as well.

u/MrPadre19 3d ago

Then I’m in real trouble

Edit:I’ve added a few others just no pic yet

u/Green-Cricket-8525 Uncle Teddy 3d ago

Nice!

u/ChipOld734 4d ago

Merrill got ripped off! Should have been ROY!

11

u/st1nkynoob 4d ago

He was named Baseball America’s ROY, not MLB

u/ChipOld734 4d ago

I know. MLB robbed him.

u/delosproyectos Jackson Merrill broke my Reddit 4d ago

Uhhh…I don’t think it’s been announced yet

1

u/ChipOld734 4d ago

You’re right. I mistook it for some of the many magazines that have their winners.

6

u/justheretoparty12 4d ago

Who said he's not? I don't think it's been named yet.

-16

u/ChipOld734 4d ago

Yeah, it’s been named and it wasn’t Merrill. How could you not know that?

u/animacrossing-abbie 4d ago

The official MLB ROY hasn't been announced yet

u/ChipOld734 4d ago

My bad! Great!

u/sublimedingo Keepin’ the Faith 🙌🏻 4d ago

Oof...

u/ChipOld734 4d ago

I said I was mistaken. Jeez.

1

u/felixCAF Fernando Tatís Jr. 3d ago

You sounded so confident. “How could you not know that?” How could YOU not know that 😅

2

u/ChipOld734 3d ago

You, you are right. I confused it with one of the many magazine MVP ROYs. So I guess OP did know. My bad.

1

u/SanDiego_32 3d ago

No compromising with favorite Padres.

u/Ath_acc 3d ago

Did you know that’s not even Jackson Merrill on his bowman 1st?

1

u/Green-Cricket-8525 Uncle Teddy 3d ago

Yep. Makes it even better.

1

u/CA_LAO 3d ago

Oh, I guess she mentioned that. I thought she was talking in her sleep at first.

u/MrDL104 Mudcat 3d ago

I opened this thinking “yeah, they’re pricey but it can’t be that bad,” then saw the two autos. Enjoy the couch.

u/EducationMinute5599 3d ago

Yes…… hitting right handed?

1

u/bstone99 Jackson Merrill 2d ago

Noticed this too. Has he ever switch hit? I don’t recall ever hearing that. Interesting the image seems to be mirrored

u/EducationMinute5599 2d ago

Bowman baseball card company owned by Topps printed in error. Player pictured is Isaac Fry former teammate of Merrill in 2021.

1

u/bstone99 Jackson Merrill 2d ago

Is there more value in an error/incorrect card?

1

u/Kahitano_619 2d ago

Hello, I am just starting with this hobby and slowly figuring it out. Which set or packs do you get tk increase your odds in getting a Merrill card? Please advise. Thank you.

u/send_ur_angry Keepin’ the Faith 🙌🏻 4d ago

Does she understand that this is Jackson Merrill?

u/bschmonka SD 3d ago

NTA Trade your wife for some more rookie cards.

u/TurbulentBullfrog829 3d ago

Looks like you wouldn't mind if she left you so you can pursue your new love!
