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 […]

My All-Star Team

In honor of tonight’s All-Star game, I thought what better time to show off some of the All-Star cards I’ve collected for my players. Simple enough concept, right? Let’s just jump right into it.

I was hoping he would be an All-Star again this year, but he had a rough start

I’ve already shown […]

My Dad is Awesome!

The last time I went home to visit my parents, my dad surprised me with a little treat. You see, my parents are both antique dealers now that they’re retired and they frequent all kinds of stores and flea markets. I used to go with them as a child, but always against my will. Every […]

2010 Topps Series 2 Video Box Break

Everybody loves box breaks! Everybody loves the Topps base set! Everybody loves us! Nobody loves miscut cards….

We walked in with virtually no expectations, and came away a little hurt, a […]
