If I Were To Collect: Kansas City Royals Edition

[The twenty-sixth in a series: I’m picking one player that I associate with a team (whether they spent the majority of their career there or not) that I would strongly consider adding to my official want lists. They may not always be superstars, or the most popular, and honestly they may not always be my […]

On-Card Disappointments (All for Sale!)

I have very few card collections given my limited resources and space, but I did decide some time ago to begin collecting on-card Royals autographs. It’s been a blast so far trying to track these things down and this is the latest addition to my collection. To view the cards currently in the collection, take […]

Andy’s Belated Christmas Card Haul

Unlike Jon, I managed to score one card-related gift this Christmas!

From Jon.

Don’t worry, I got him something too and next time we’re at his place and not bustin’ mad stax o’ wax, we’ll be bustin’ some killer helicopter dunks in NBA Jam for Wii, which I ostensibly got for him but let’s be […]

Newest (and possibly shortest lived) Addition to the Royals Collection

Well, here I am with another accidental addition to my burgeoning Royals on-card auto collection. This time it’s a heavy hitter, in every way.

George Brett, meet a bunch of scrubs.

This puppy- a 1998 Donruss Signatures George Brett- is numbered to only 2000 (!) and usually runs about $50. I got this […]

Royals Mailday Roundup

Welp, I’m back from a few random vacations and setting up my fancy new office (aka: giant white industrial box) here in Chicago, so it’s time for a post covering my sparse PC additions during that time. A welcome break from Ginter…mania? Or whatever it is that makes all of us post 30 different Ginter-related […]

Case Hit FAIL

It’s a feeling we all know too well. You’re opening a band new box of wax. Visions of Gehrig cut signatures and rookie sensation parallels are dancing through your head.

Then you see it. It’s not a normal box hit. No, my friends, you’ve got a Case Hit. It’s bound to be priceless. “It’s probably […]

Royals On-Card Addition: Mike Aviles

Sometimes thigns happen in little lovely Royals bursts. Just the other day, I was showing off my sweet new Carlos Febles auto and now I’ve got a brand new addition to my very irregularly growing Royals on-card auto collection!

2006 Bowman Mike Aviles blue auto /500

Hey! It’s an autograph of a guy […]

Royals On-Card Auto Addition: Carlos Febles

A couple weekends ago, Jon and I went to a card show in our hometown of Rockford, IL. Okay, technically it was in the village of Cherry Valley, which is kind of like a suburb of Rockford (yes, we get our own suburbs). It was in the mall there and let’s just say it’s been […]

A Return. A Rebirth.

Well, I’m back from vacation! And, in what will likely go down as the most hilarious day of my life, I woke up at 5AM and showed up at work the day of my flight only to be laid off about 2 hours in. I packed up my stuff and head home to help the […]
