I’m sure all of us have been in a budget crunch situation multiple times in our lives. It’s only natural to see cash ebb as well as flow. I’m in the middle of an “ebb” cycle, and I’m expecting to stay firmly there until at least after the holidays. That means no buying new cards. […] My “In Defense Of” post garnered quite a bit of attention for the site. Chris Olds and Susan Lulgjuraj from Beckett, VOTC – c0-host of Cardboard Connection Radio, a couple card blogs and various twitterers all picked up on the article and helped promote and discuss the issue. When all was said and done we […] We’ve been down this road before. It’s a good road. It’s a fun-filled road with interesting treasures to be discovered. A road laced with history. But this is a fragile road because it’s made of cardboard. It’s also a never-ending road to nowhere, because I don’t know what kind of metaphor or analogy or introduction […] In my most recent post, I sung the praises of the #TwitterTrade. Well…second verse, same as the first. This time, I’m talking about Charles, aka @SWLVGUY. He’s another must-follow on there. Not only is he a great trader, as you’re about to see, but also a fantastic twitter ambassador for the hobby. Oh, and he […] We almost adopted a cat recently.

McDonald's was a little early with the label Frank Thomas – Two Time MVP Award Winner 2 MVP awards means 2 pictures Versus Not so fast, 80s graphic! Tony Gwynn – Zero-Time MVP Award Winner I know these two were never in direct competition for the award, […] It took much longer than it ever should have, but Community Gum has now reached the 500 post milestone. It’s a momentous occasion that’s sure to go down in the annals of card bloggery as “another blog post.” Try not to get too teary-eyed. Yes, 500 posts. If this were the Hall of Fame, our […] How’s that for a deceptive post title?! But seriously, Jamie Moyer winning his first game of the season the other day (thus becoming the oldest pitcher to win a game in the history of baseball) happened literally hours after I had a conversation with a non-collector friend of mine. So young. So… not old. […] There hasn’t been much movement on this blog for a while. I don’t like to see it sit and languish like this, but sometimes you have no other choice. I could go through all the reasons why the posts each week have been slim-to-none, but why bore you with the same old stuff. You people […] |
