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!
