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!

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 […]

Trading with Reader Steve

Not too long ago, Reader Steve emailed me offering up some extra Maddux cards he had laying around. After probably the quickest agreement I can imagine making, his package to me was on the way. I had to raid my parents’ basement to put his together, so even though I got his mail over a […]

2010 Topps National Chicle Baseball Review

Baseball cards are steeped in nostalgia. Nostalgia for a simpler time yadda yadda yadda. Cornball as it sounds, nostalgia is what brought a lot of us back to the hobby after being seriously burned as youngsters during the junk wax era. It was the siren song of Heritage that brought this burnt collector back into […]

2010 Topps National Chicle video box break

Holy backburner! Jon and I got this box before my vacation in May and didn’t get around to breaking it until several days after my return. And I’ve just now gotten around to cutting the video of the break… hopefully I’ll have the full review up tomorrow. Unemployment is way busier than I expected and […]

Trading with Night Owl

I would try to think of some kind of pun or clever title for the trade, but I’m probably the last blogger in the universe to have traded with Night Owl and all the good ones have already been done before. So…instead, you all get to look at some of my favorites in the bundle […]

A Very Beardy Christmas In June

As one of the first commenters on our little blog, Beardy (of The MojoBeard collective… they’re kind of like the Borg, but resistence is even worse than futile) holds a special place in me and Jon’s hearts. It doesn’t hurt that he’s also a video geek who also likes a team that will never win […]

More on Team Sets

First off, it was bugging me that I didn’t do my research and pulled an all gray Rangers uniform. So, just to prove I’m not crazy and for the sake of doing things right, here’s the right combo to compare to the Marlon Byrd airbrush from my previous post.

Notice the easy to […]

Team Sets and A Lesson on Photoshop

Not too long ago, I picked up the Cubs team set at Target. The only real reason I bought it was to obtain these two fellers for my player collections:

Different Card Numbers and nothing else = Must have!

Sure, they look like 2010 Series 1 base cards (non-Lincoln, of course). They feel […]
