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 […] Right around the same time that I held my All-Upper Deck group break, Ryan H of “O” No!!! Another Orioles Blog, was holding a smaller 3-box break. He came to me with the idea of trading. We’d swap open slots in our breaks (and I think he floated a couple bucks my way to cover […] 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 […] The Thanksgiving Day Parade and the Rose Parade have both passed us by for another year. As a kid, I used to enjoy watching a good parade. I liked all the different character balloons, and the moving floats always fascinated me. It’s pretty impressive what some people can do with a float-load of flower petals.

Even Frank can't believe this card exists Yup, that’s an actual ornament that was inserted into packs. I found this sucker on ebay almost a year ago, strings included. I’m not really sure why these were made, except for the fact that Frank […] Just like a player out by a mile on a Play at the Plate (hint, hint), I’ve got Frank Thomas’ number. And it’s 0692/3500. I'd say that's an accurate description. Brian sent over a couple cards this summer either as his part of a trade or as another one of his random gifts. I […] 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 […] Let’s compare something shall we? 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’s a phrase we’ll hear many times throughout our lives.
