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 […] Why am I so excited about college basketball? A few reasons. 1) My Chicago Bulls aren’t likely to be too fun to watch until Derrick Rose returns from injury. 2) I think the college game is simultaneously infinitely more fun and infinitely more frustrating to watch due to the raw passion and hustle and lack […] 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.

Why, […] If you’re wondering why I haven’t posted in a week, maybe what you’re about to see will explain it. You’re going to be treated to a very short introduction this time, because I’m writing 3,000 words or so overall on this doozy of a trade. Things like this take time you know. The cards below […] I try to take my blogging seriously. Yes, you see what I hope are jokes sprinkled throughout, but those just prove that I’m seriously trying to keep it entertaining for you all. And because I want the blog to be good, I study the greats of the business and try to learn what makes their […] Remember way back in July when I posted about this big ol’ ebay lot I bought for about $30 shipped?
