Another Sticker Album In The Books (Part 1)!

Fair warning time: This is going to be scan heavy. Really heavy. Like so heavy, I’m splitting it up into two parts. Okay, the first part won’t be too bad (second part – brutal), but it will be about basketball. If neither are your cup of tea, I don’t blame you for turning away. If […]

2012 Topps Allen & Ginter Case Break Recap and Review

Ginter! Gint-A-Cuffs! Fighting! Ripping! Ripping Packs! Packs of Ginter!

Video! Finally!

Slow on the draw as usual getting our video and review up for everyone to enjoy and/or summarily ignore. Then to make matters worse, we forgot to shoot our card close-ups! Shoddy craftsmanship. Just you wait. As soon as blogging becomes our full-time […]

Possibly My Best Group Break Haul to Date

There was a time when the Braves were the first team selected in every single group break any blog in the history of internet writing produced. If you weren’t at your computer the second the post went live, you might as well have a second choice ready to go.

That trend continued for what seemed […]

Was Topps Reading Our Blog?

The answer, of course, is most likely no. Still, humor me.

When Series 1 of 2012 Topps was getting ready to hit the shelves and our grubby little mits, Topps made an announcement regarding the two big name off-season free agent signings. Jose Reyes and Albert Pujols were going to have “Super short prints” in […]

Closing The Book On The Sticker Album

It’s here! It’s finally here!

After begging through several trade posts with no response I was starting to feel like all hope was lost. I considered utilizing the power of Night Owl’s One Card Challenge, but pride stopped me.

People read our posts, too. All I have to do is let people know that I […]

What Am I Getting Myself Into?

I need to stop giving into my impulses.

One of many to come

See this card? This was the result of an impulse.

I’m not talking about your run of the mill purchase of a single card on ebay type impulse, mind you.

I’m talking about the impulse decision to add a seventh player […]

2012 Topps Series 2 Baseball Review and 5 Case Breakdown

We did it for series 1, so you know we had to do it for series 2. 5 whole cases of the stuff. That’s a lot of wrappers, a lot of cards, and a lot of work. Something tells me 2 will be our limit going forward.

Let’s dispense with the pleasantries, shall we? Everyone […]

The Stupid Heat Win the Stupid Finals. Time For Non-Stupid Contest Results

Well, there’s one thing you can say for sure: This contest isn’t fixed!

If it was, the Thunder would have won and things would have gotten a little more interesting. As it stands, the Bizarro Avengers won the NBA Championship and the contest is over a couple days sooner than I hoped.

Let’s get down […]
