2012 Topps Series 1 Baseball Review and 5-Case Recap

Phew! Who knew baseball cards could be so much work! Still, even after opening five Jumbo cases for our business venture, you won’t hear either of us complaining (well, maybe after 16 hours straight of back-breaking sorting). You’ve seen a little taste of what to expect on our video from a few days ago, and […]

Thanks to the select few that joined us for the live UStream Finest Break. I know it was a very last minute announcement on our part, so it’s amazing anyone came into the chat room at all. It was a lot of fun chatting with The Daily Dimwit and the newly titled Life and Baseball […]

2010 Topps Magic Want List

Magic, magic, magic. There’s been more Magic talk on this blog lately than on a Doug Henning Memorial site (albeit with far inferior mustaches here), but I have one more post about this glorious product.

In our latest attempt to flip cases in […]

2010 Topps Chrome Baseball Case Break

Last week we got a case of 2010 Topps Chrome Baseball in from Blowout Cards that we pre-ordered quite a while back. This was an incredibly fun break, even if the case price dropped sharply after we pre-ordered.

Unfortunately, due to some unforeseen circumstances, we didn’t get any video of this break. I know most […]

2010 Topps Football Case Break

Well, we took the plunge. After some research and critical thinking (i.e. “Those Rookie Premiere Autos look sweet!”), we talked with our new besties at Blowout Cards and got ourselves a fine deal on our case. Neither Jon nor I are football collectors (though, fantasy football has made me something of a football “follower”) so […]
