How I Picked An Autograph Card Set To Collect

I’ve hinted at it a few times before, most notably in my note about the sweet Eric Hosmer 2011 Topps Tier One autograph I picked up a few months back, but here’s the deal: I am actively collecting Tier One autographs.

It’s hard to explain why. Since I got back into collecting and we started […]

If I Were To Collect: Chicago White Sox Edition

As a player collector, I always have thoughts about expanding my spectrum. Just as set collectors find new sets they want to tackle, I have certain players that infiltrate my head. I’m not such a hometown only guy that I can’t like or admire admire ballplayers from every organization’s history. Just look at my previous […]

Double Threat

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 […]

An Addendum To a Previous Trade Post (aka I Messed Up)

Evidently my record keeping abilities aren’t very good when it comes to certain things. The 2011 MLB sticker album trades is one of those things.

I was readying what I thought was my penultimate sticker trade post, where I received a handful of stickers that completed a whole mess of teams. Going back through everything […]

MoyerMania! or: JRC, the Junk Rookie Card

How’s that for a deceptive post title?! But seriously, Jamie Moyer winning his first game of the season the other day (thus becoming the oldest pitcher to win a game in the history of baseball) happened literally hours after I had a conversation with a non-collector friend of mine.

So young. So… not old. […]

A Gimmick of Our Own… 3D Box Breaks!

Hate gimmicks? Hate ironic nostalgia of junk wax era? Hate 25 minute box break videos?!

Then this post is not for you!

If you less-than-hate any or all of those things, let me present something that is bound to amuse you for at least 5% of its running time!

THE WORLD’S FIRST* 3D** BOX BREAK […]

Feast Or Famine

Hey look! There are two people who post on this blog! My name’s Andy. We may have met. I’m the one who annoys you with Royals autograph posts and less funny captions than Jon. I’m also the one prone to fits of months without posts, one of which just ended. It’s a shame, really, because […]

I Got Kobe Money

Actually, I had Kobe Money.

For those of you that don’t know what I’m talking about, I sold the second greatest card I’ve ever found in a pack of cards (the first has not been revealed, and would not go for as much money) about a year ago. It was a 1997/98 Kobe Bryant Skybox […]
