Hi friends. After many months of deliberation and making sure that I could sustain this, I am excited to offer a premium newsletter subscription.
To be clear, the Monday weekly roundup will remain free.
I’ve already had three hobby companies reach out and ask to sponsor my newsletter, so I know I could easily do that to sustain it. But I’d prefer to offer it as premium content. It allows me to maintain my independence and unbiased reporting and gives me an opportunity to give back more to my biggest supporters: you.
I pay for several baseball and basketball newsletters (most are also through Beehiiv, like this one), and it’s a great way to get access to good content from writers you like.
Monthly giveaway(s), growing in size with my premium subscriber base
First giveaway is a Yaz rookie! (See below for more and how to increase your chances.)
No ads seen in any of my newsletter issues, ever
Quarterly livestream open to only my premium subscribers
Exclusive looks into my personal collection
Early access to certain articles
Minimum of one extra newsletter per week, or four per month
The new Friday article and roundup will be exclusive to premium members
Vote for what I buy with my monthly hobby budget
Contribute to polls that end up in a video on my YouTube channel or in future newsletters
Discounts on any future merch I sell (to be clear, I have none in the works, but I think about it often)
Exclusive entry to an online community I’m considering starting
I’m open to other ideas
There are so many things that I couldn’t even fit them all in the newsletter’s included offerings list. All that for the low price of $8/month or $80/year.
But get this: for the next week, I am discounting it for early birds to $6/month or $60/year.
That’s a 25% discount for upgrading by the end of Wednesday, March 19th.
So, what do you think?
Yaz Rookie Giveaway:
And for the first monthly giveaway, this Yaz rookie is up for grabs!
It’s a PSA 5 and has been in my personal collection for about a year, but I upgraded to an autographed copy.
To be eligible, you just need to be a premium subscriber! Buying an annual membership will get you 12 entries, and a monthly membership will get you 1.
I will select a winner on April 11th and will show the selection process for transparency. My hope is that the monthly winners will send me a photo of themselves with the card so I can show other readers, but that’s not mandatory.
I have another big vintage rookie card selected for month 2!
Note: if you are a member of my YouTube channel, paying $2/month there and want to upgrade here, email me and I’ll see if I can figure out something for you.
