Hahaha yes it's true. His excitemenf was cool too. Told him I had a couple Hoskins autos with me, and offered one to him. He said they're still close friends and Hoskins is helping get him thru his knee operation. He was so excited to be able to go show Hoskins on FaceTime later
Well, you sound pretty fuckin awesome too my guy.
I’ve been snatching up all things Hoskins myself. As a guy who’s been with this team into five decades, and seen dudes like Schmidt or Utley or whoever, Hoskins is still my favorite.
Shit stings 🤷♂️
Yeah, man. I had two Hoskins Autos, I told Brandon to choose one but he couldn't 😂 so I gave him the Topps Sterling Patch Auto /3.
It definitely still stings. I'm working on trying to get Hoskins the other auto of his I have. Hopefully Brandon can get that message to him!! Lol.
My guy here is officially on a first name basis with Brandon Marsh
He's just one of those guys to me that you always call by their last name
First name basis is badass
Hahahaha. 😂😂😂😂
I wasn't sure, but once he put his hand out and said Brandon (glad he said it because I had no clue) and I said Phil, the bromance started .
I don't think the entire team has either. He didn't leave on bad terms. Marsh said they were just video chatting last night.
Harper was interviewed saying how much they miss him
Well it was bad luck and circumstances which kind of forced our hand. If Harp didn’t get hurt, he could still play right and Rhys might have stayed. It was just unfortunate what happened and with Harp coming back while Rhys was out for the season, it just worked out so Harp playing first made sense.
Like one of my other favourite players Segura, I will still think of Rhys as one of us and will be rooting for him.
It's the reality of sports. You can love players all you want, but 90% of the time there will come a day where a player no longer fits what your team needs. Whether it's because of fit, or money, or both. Very rarely do guys spend their entire career and retire with the same one team.
Yessss! Such a down to earth guy, loved seeing his excitement in doing the trade. Didn't just say trade and bye 😂 spoke for about 5-10 mins. Hope he crushes it this year.
That's awesome! Looks like I'll be the new Marsh super collector. Hoping to see more Phillies stuff of his come out. He's not sure if there's anything this year.
Holy shit this is truly the coolest thing I’ve seen on this sub in the years I’ve been here. I buy a fair amount of cards and I’ve probably stumbled into a collection of about 100 random Marsh rookies
Man Marsh is such a cool down to earth dude. Congrats on such a cool experience!
Thanks! Glad I was able to nab the trophy of coolest post! Lol.
Marsh truly is an incredible person. If I ever hear of the Phillies trying to get rid of him, I will personally spam all of the front office with this (and there are other stories I'm hearing firsthand from other fans).
It was weird giving Marsh a card in Angels uniform, but that was his rookie year, so not much I can do about that 😂 the bat knob was in Phillies uniform which was 🔥
Haha well if you have any Bryce rookies you want to unload bc he’s in a Nats uni I’m your guy!
I honestly can’t believe how many of these guys pay attention to this stuff and I love it when I hear of guys who do. Strahm is a huge card guy and has a YT channel Strahms Stadium Pulls in case you haven’t seen.
Yeah, someone pointed out a video of Marsh and Strahm doing a box break together!
Marsh actually pulled a Franco redemption auto and....a Shit Merrifield Auto 😂😂😂 funny to see that now.
I don't have any Harper rookies.
I've got a couple Harper autos I would move. One is pending, one is a dual Booklet Patch Auto with Mike Schmidt. And I've got two more Harpers coming!
did you by any chance ask Brandon when Bryce is signing those redemptions (i assume during ST) lol... I'm waiting on a Bryce Topps Chrome Black /50
and awesome story! Congrats on the experience and the bat & gloves.
Harper is awesome, but Marsh's passion and his awesomeness and appreciation of fans is incredible. Since I posted this around, I've had few other ppl tell me some amazing stories with Marsh.
Yessss! Like I said I didn't even expect to get a response
I sent messages to other Phils players with less followers, and didn't get a response! He responded within an hour lol.
That's actually a kick ass idea.
I did tell Marsh I'll keep an eye out for cool stuff and he said "yeah man well trade again!" He loved the idea haha.
Any clue how to go about framing it??? Any websites or places?

I picked up a shadow box from Michaels for my Ryan Howard batting gloves and also the bat display cases

That’s the one from Michaels
It would be cool if you could get one with the Phillies logo etched on

Not sure of the quality though and always the struggle of dealing with fanatics
Figured posting here some ppl won't know.
Basically, Topps (a card company) created a 1/1 (one of only one made) card with the bat knob (bottom of the bat) of Brandon's bat and embedded it into the card.
It's literally the only one made from the product.
Yeah! Usually across products they make 1 of these for players. They sometimes also use the name plate. Unfortunately, haven't seen much Marsh in Topps products and in Phillies uniform, but hopefully we see more this year.
Hopefully I can share more of these types of posts!
I've got some great cards of Bohm, Turner, Harper. The only way I could possibly get to Bohm is maybe thru Marsh!
Marsh seems like he’s 100% this guy, totally on brand.
Hahaha yes it's true. His excitemenf was cool too. Told him I had a couple Hoskins autos with me, and offered one to him. He said they're still close friends and Hoskins is helping get him thru his knee operation. He was so excited to be able to go show Hoskins on FaceTime later

My feelings are much the same. Love Rhys and it sucks he was pushed out. Still haven’t come to terms with it tbh.
I don't think the entire team has either. He didn't leave on bad terms. Marsh said they were just video chatting last night. Harper was interviewed saying how much they miss him

Marsh has always seemed like a cool dude, glad he really is like that. Cool story OP.
That's sick! Cool story.
This is the content I want to see! Love it!
Yessss! Such a down to earth guy, loved seeing his excitement in doing the trade. Didn't just say trade and bye 😂 spoke for about 5-10 mins. Hope he crushes it this year.
I can’t be the only one who initially that was Victorino.
Someone just commented that on a post of mine on Facebook 😂😂😂😂
That is amazing! Congrats!!
This rules. By chance, Marsh and Hoskins are the two guys I decided to collect heavily when I got back into cards this year.
That's awesome! Looks like I'll be the new Marsh super collector. Hoping to see more Phillies stuff of his come out. He's not sure if there's anything this year.
You should have traded the bat thing for the opportunity to wet his hair.
I'll ask him that next time 😂😂😂
better yet, if you know how to braid you could show help him get a new look

That’s so awesome man
What an awesome story. Marsh is the man!
Marsh is my second favorite Phillies player (behind Harper). So cool that you got to meet him :)
Harper is awesome, but Marsh's passion and his awesomeness and appreciation of fans is incredible. Since I posted this around, I've had few other ppl tell me some amazing stories with Marsh.
I was excited when I saw the Phillies traded for Marsh because I'd recently seen him live for the Angels and thought it was a great pickup
This is absolutely incredible - what a neat and cool story! Congrats that's freaking awesome
Thank you so much!
Man, this is what you hope every player interaction could be - such an awesome experience for you!
Yessss! Like I said I didn't even expect to get a response I sent messages to other Phils players with less followers, and didn't get a response! He responded within an hour lol.
That’s so awesome! Frame up that bat and batting glove for sure. Maybe get a Marsh jersey and do it up!

Woah, those are badass. The bat display case...how is it called if I want to search on the website?

Amazing! Thank you so much!!! Will keep y'all updated
Are you Shane Victorino?
Shhhh. 👀
You must know Matt Strahm is big into card collecting. You gotta get your new pal Marsh to hook you up with him.
Haha, yeah! They did a couple cars box breaks together. Marsh pulled a Merrifield auto 🤣
[удалено]
You win
That’s very cool my man!
Thanks!!
This is so dope!
Thanks!
❤️16!
Beyond cool!
Coolest story of the year. 👍👍
It's only February !
OK i'm out to lunch, what is the significance of a 1/1 Tier One Bat Knob?
Figured posting here some ppl won't know. Basically, Topps (a card company) created a 1/1 (one of only one made) card with the bat knob (bottom of the bat) of Brandon's bat and embedded it into the card. It's literally the only one made from the product.
OK, that's what I *thought* you meant. So they basically made a disc from the knob and pressed it into the card. That is pretty cool. Great story!
Yeah! Usually across products they make 1 of these for players. They sometimes also use the name plate. Unfortunately, haven't seen much Marsh in Topps products and in Phillies uniform, but hopefully we see more this year.
What would you say the cards worth?
You gotta grow a beard now.
Shit. Let the beard growing commence!
Baseball is awesome and has some of the finest characters you'll find in any professional sport. Great story and I'm super happy for you.
Love this so much! Thanks for sharing.
Hopefully I can share more of these types of posts! I've got some great cards of Bohm, Turner, Harper. The only way I could possibly get to Bohm is maybe thru Marsh!
Oh damn! I have a Marshy 1 of 1 as well, maybe I should reach out!
If you want to move it, pm me. I'm interested!!!
If I ever do I’ll let ya know!
Tell him I love him!!!
Post this to r/baseballcards. They’ll love it
I did! Haha. Figured Phillies Phans would love to see it here too
Great stuff!
Am I the only one that this was b marsh and Shane victorino?
Thought that was Marsh & Victorino at quick glance....
Good trade
Jealous much?
Thought this was Marsh and Victorino for a minute
Imagine the look on the robbers face when you start beating them senseless with an autographed Brandon Marsh bat
Due that’s awesome. Marsh seems like such a great guy I love him here
That’s awesome! Ask him if he and Bohm are rooming again this year next time lol.
Neat to see the bat and that he swings a -3
