The experience of going to the National will really prepare and inform future expectations of the show. Before going in, I had this weird mind set that basically anything would be available for the picking if you just looked in the right spot. I had high hopes that I would make some really good progress […] I know people are probably anxious to see posts recapping my adventure at the 2015 National Sports Collectors Convention, but that’s going to wait a bit longer as I organize more stuff. For now, here’s a package that basically feels like a mini-National. Brian from Play at the Plate has always been a great supporter […] There is a lot of hype surrounding the Cubs. Even though in 2014 we finished last in the NL Central, somehow Vegas stared the year projecting us as one of the favorites to win the World Series. Granted, this team has been quite a bit better, but I think it’s possibly a tiny bit too […] I have a morals clause in my collecting.

But sometimes before you […] We’re only a week or two removed from the biggest dog show of the year. Banana Joe the Affenpinscher took away Best in Show. Now he gets to make the rounds in the media and across the country to various other smaller dog shows. Sort of like the one that’s happening in Chicago this weekend. […] All of us have different ways to organize our respective collections. You may sort by player, by team, by year, by set, by number, by picture quality, by uniform number, or any combination of those. You may put your cards in shoeboxes, card boxes, binders, toploaders, safes, or who knows what. But chances are if […] Collecting is a funny thing. I’ve also noticed that there have been a lot of people recently that have returned to collecting cards after several years away from it. Collecting is in the blood. It’s tough to ignore completely.
