Goodbye, Jody. It’s Been Fun.

We’ve had some good times and we’ve had regular times, but it’s time the times come to an end. Time.

Our sweet, dear Jody Davis has finally found a worthy suitor.

Ever since we unlocked the power of the hometown catcher on the Topps Million Card site thingy, we’ve seen all kinds of offers for […]

Million Card Hornswoggle

I had another post planned for tonight, but instead I’m going back to the Topps Million Card well.

For a while now, Andy and I have had two unused codes sitting and waiting for the magic moment where it starts spitting out nothing but good stuff again. I check the site every once in a […]

Million Card Impatience!

Olympic Pack Break and More Million Goodness

I’m covering two topics in this post today. The short one (Topps Million) will be first for those who want to cut and run early.

Thursday Million Card Illness!

Well, I’m sick as a mub up in this piece, but this little gem made me smile a bit:

Tuesday’s Million Card Madness!

Well, Jon’s right. These things are addictive. I’ve been hanging out at the fora (it’s the plural of “forum;” look it up) all day, just salivating at what sweet 1952 high number or 1953 SP our next code might unlock. I was not completely unmoved by the sweet Fred Lynn in the previous post- I […]
