Of course I feel for the families and co-workers affected, and I’ll touch on […] Recently, a memorabilia dealer was arrested for mail fraud charges associated with the sales altered sports jerseys. Apparently, this dealer was buying regular consumer-market jerseys and altering them to make them look “game-used.” He then, according to his own confession after arrest, sold those fake “game-used” jerseys to all three major card companies of the […] Hey everybody! Considering the massive amount of new announcements Topps made on twitter today regarding Topps Archives, we figured now would be a good time to remind you that teams are still available in our case group break. The lowest tier is $20, which will get you the entire case worth of your team. It […] Last year (miraculously before 2011), I mustered up the wherewithal to post a 2011 Baseball Card Preview.
