We're two months in to the 2025 MLB season, and the Boston Red Sox are in freefall. It seemed like only a couple weeks ago the Sox were in second place, ahead of the homeless Rays and underachieving Jays. After their fifth straight loss Boston is in fourth place, nine games back of the Yankees, and well below .500.
They're done.
Almost. Maybe.
I dunno, I haven't actually watched the Sox this year. I'm really not enthusiastic about baseball anymore.
What is done, or nearly done, is my Boston Red Sox PC.
I counted all the spaces I had left in my Red Sox binders, jumped on Cardbarrel, and placed an order. Once it arrived, I would have no more room for Red Sox cards.
Except... three of the cards I ordered were out of stock and I was not informed ahead of the order's arrival. Also this Dustin Pedroia Finest single was supposed to be a base card. It's a refractor. Cool... right?
Nope! I have no room in my Boston box for any more inserts, parallels, or relics.
The box is literally bursting at the seams. I somehow shuffled some things around and squeezed the Pedroia in there.
These are the last two open slots of all the binders on my Red Sox shelf. Once they're filled, I won't have to buy any more baseball cards*
*except vintage and maybe a Hall of Famer autograph.
**I'll probably buy more anyway because the 2025 Topps Heritage set is really nice.
Thanks for reading!

I feel the same way about the A's and Padres. Both have really struggled the past few weeks.
ReplyDeleteAs a Yankee fan I know never to count the Red Sox out.
ReplyDeleteI hope it's ok if I still send you some Red Sox cards I have for you at some point, even if you just end up trading anything you don't want/have room for!
ReplyDeleteI'll certainly squeeze in as much as I can!
