In our sixth episode, we open with discussion on Luke Raley's unlikely homer in Oracle Park, Cedric Mullins' fantastic Sunday in Seattle, and whether we should start stashing other players for the NL MVP Topps Chrome buyback. We also rant on our frustrations with Bowman Chrome (26:24) through the lens of Topps' latest release strategies and cover the latest card release – 2023 Topps Archives Signature Series, Retired Player Edition. Then we talk about players to target in dynasty/keeper leagues as their stocks have risen and should hold or go up (50:03).
