With these Ticket Stud or Ticket Dud stories I'm turning just a tiny bit of that energy just a few degrees away from cards (we'll still have plenty of them here) for a different kind of cardboard. What am I doing? Simple ... this is an occasional dip into some random ticket lots -- a show and tell showing something small with a story.
This time? A ticket to an MLB game ... that never happened.
Keep reading to see the details this time ... and tell me if you think it's a Ticket Stud or a Ticket Dud.

Collecting Game-used: A pitch from two years ago today

It's a day on the calendar that's always going to be remembered ... but this is not really tied to that. This one's simply from MLB action two years ago today.
This month's ball in the Collecting Game-used series is another that came to me via a grab bag where all I knew was the date of the game -- and I actually chose this date due to the visiting team, the Atlanta Braves, which I kind of casually collect on the game-used front. This was from the first game of a doubleheader between the two National League powerhouses and it was handled by a pair of All-Stars for its one-pitch lifetime in The Show.
Keep reading to see the details this time ... and the ball in action.

If you're one of those baseball collectors who's been all about the anime, this one's for you.
Buzz was busy today adding a bunch of cardboard to the preview gallery for the forthcoming 2025 Bowman release (click here to see all of those and order your boxes), but this one -- all 30 cards in the 2025 Bowman Anime insert set -- gets its own standalone.
Why? These baseball cards are unique and they're a popular style of artistic card inclusions from a few companies in a few sports in recent years. This time there are 30 standard cards for stars of the past, present and future -- and then four Japanese icons will have Kanji Variations to find as well.
You can learn more and see the 30 standard cards after the jump.

They're not the mascots, but they figure to be in some collections.
Topps' upcoming Celebration boxes for 2025 Topps Series 1 will loosen things up and revisit a number of the inclusions in its old Opening Day brand and, while the checklist isn't yet officially revealed, we do have a sneak peek at a few of the insert sets to be found in this one when it arrives next month.
One set will be Dugout Peeks cards as you can see above -- 10 cards are teased in our gallery -- and they'll be joined by a few other sets. See 'em all after the jump.
