By now most of you have heard about Topps’ latest fan interactive effort. They are conducting a poll on their facebook page to determine the three next die-cut cards to be put up as prizes in the Diamond Giveaway promotion. From the title, you may think that this is just going to be an extension […] I’ll get to the main point of the post title in just a second, but first I want to encourage anyone who may have missed it to read Andy’s latest post below. It can be really easy for us to dismiss certain blog posts because of the title (I know I do it often when […] Well, we’re almost halfway through the year now and that means it’s time for an update to my last preview post that made some hilariously off-base comments about how Gypsy Queen wouldn’t be a hit. Now, in my defense, Gypsy Queen is partially a hit because of the perceived short-printing of the whole run and […] Here are just a few examples from the past year. Kemp is either trying to catch the ball in his glove, or, more likely, his mouth 3-D cards. 3-D is everywhere these days. It’s like the 1950s all over again. Movies are trying to compete with 80 inch HDTV home theater systems. Cards…well, […] Everyone’s favorite on-location box breaker, Stale Gum, has asked the cardblogosphere to pitch in their ideas for fixing Topps Baseball.

Of course, the area in which to sign is rather small, but that’s […] I hope all you Selig-fearing boys and girls out there were good this year, and that jolly ol’ St. Steve paid you a visit overnight riding his sleigh pulled by 14 Ks. He doesn’t have enough “upside-down W” deliveries for all of you children, but maybe some of you will be blessed with a 300 […] In an effort to reclaim my mojo for baseball card collecting (in a time when my wallet has also lost its mojo), I thought I’d take a look at the offerings of The One True Card Manufacturer for this coming year (only 3 weeks until 2011… can you believe it?!). First was the flagship: […] Let’s get one thing straight: I hate Bowman Chrome. I think it’s done irreparable damage to “Thee Hobby” in general and, specifically, my interest in collecting baseball cards. I know I’m not the only one who feels this way but, given that the product seems to sell out every single year, I’m in the minority […] It’s a feeling we all know too well. You’re opening a band new box of wax. Visions of Gehrig cut signatures and rookie sensation parallels are dancing through your head. Then you see it. It’s not a normal box hit.
