It Builds Character. And Thickens Binders

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 […]

Can’t Get Enough of That Group Break Stuff

Greetings from the 51st state!

No, this isn’t an announcement post. I’m not starting up another group break for a while. I don’t think I’ll go nearly as big as 11 boxes next time, either. That was just a bit too unwieldy. Of course, I picked a terrible time (personally) to hold it. But anyway, […]

A Rally Cry For the Brewers (aka Inadvertent Jinxing)

Keep watching this space, because on Sunday I’ll be unveiling something that will keep this blog occupied for some time starting in late October. Once that starts up, I won’t want to stop everything to wedge in a trade post.

Luckily, I have no qualms about squeezing one more in before the announcement. Then I’m […]

I Think You Know What You’re About To Read By Now

With all this talk of trade posts, I haven’t even touched on anything that’s happening in baseball these days. How about them playoffs? Game 162 was one of the most exciting nights of baseball I remember seeing (from afar). All I could do is follow on Yahoo and then catch the headlines later. But if […]

The Henchmeister, Trading Some Cards.

Hench. The Henchmeister.

The Henchback of Notre Dame.

Turner and Hench.

Hench.

Sorry, I’m sure he gets that a lot, but I couldn’t resist. And yes, I copied the text you see when you roll over his link on our blog roll (if anyone even notices that exists), but that’s only because I’m not creative […]

Buckle Up. It’s A Long Road

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 […]

All I Need Is To Remember The Full Trade

All that talk…

All that talk yesterday about taking my blogging seriously and I committed an error. Well, if you go back and proof-read it, I’m sure you’ll find several, but that’s not what what I’m talking about.

It’s an error that could easily go unnoticed by everyone else in the world but me. I […]

Gentleman’s Quarterly

What’s that? GQ stands for something else? Gypsy Queen, you say? Hmmm, I guess that means this is another GQ trade post… and another half-assed introductory paragraph.

Brian over at the prolific Play at the Plate (over 1000 posts? Really? We’re almost at 350…in a year and a half of writing), contacted me about a […]

Sporadic Posts, But Still Making Progress

Alright, I’m now into June for my scans. We’re getting somewhere! I might be able to make it into July before the end of the month if I’m lucky. We’ll see. Fingers are crossed.

Next on the list is this trade with Sam of “The Daily Dimwit” fame. Here we begin a trio of trades […]

It’s A Cardboard Smorgasbord

There’s no doubt in my mind that I’m the last person from BA Benny’s Baseball Card Buffet’s massively awesome group break to show off their goods. I’ve seen a couple of you go through the piles of cards in extreme detail, and most of you give a couple key highlights. I’ll be in that latter […]
