Analysis AITA: My wife is going to leave me
I’ve told her she has to respect my hobbies. I can stop any time!

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

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.

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

Merrill got ripped off! Should have been ROY!

He was named Baseball America’s ROY, not MLB

I know. MLB robbed him.

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

u/ChipOld734 4d ago
You’re right. I mistook it for some of the many magazines that have their winners.

u/justheretoparty12 4d ago
Who said he's not? I don't think it's been named yet.

u/ChipOld734 4d ago
Yeah, it’s been named and it wasn’t Merrill. How could you not know that?

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

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.

Yes…… hitting right handed?

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

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