This episode of Raff’s Brain taps straight into the nostalgia vein. Rob Raffety opens a “mystery box” of sports cards and stickers from the 80s and 90s, gifted by childhood friend Johan Sebastian Herring, III aka Jon Herron. Alongside baseball legends like Steve Avery, Jose Canseco, and Kirby Puckett, Rob finds a blast from his own past — Italia 90 World Cup stickers he may have collected as a kid. Part storytime, part unboxing, and all vintage vibes, this is a tribute to friendships, forgotten heroes, and the magic of cardboard collectibles.WATCH the related episode about Rob's trip to Greenville / Asheville! Podcast Outline:Welcome to a special Raff’s Brain episode (not Riffin', Walk & Talk, or Hot Yoga Problems)Recounting Rob’s visit to Greenville, Asheville & reconnecting with JohnInitial impressions: Paintball box hides something betterOpening the box: Upper Deck cards, mystery packs, and sticker stacksKey card pulls: Avery rookie, Clemens MVP, Canseco, BuhnerItalia 90 moment: Rob questions whether these stickers were his all alongFootball pack finds: Warren Moon, Andre Rison, early 90s NFL reflectionsArtistic and eccentric card designs from the eraPirates nostalgia, Chico Lind bobblehead dreams, and rusted root hypotheticalsWrapping up: gratitude, memories, and the plan to return the treasuresHotline CTA: 🎧 Call the Raff's Brain Hotline!
