I Might Have to Take Up Basketball Collecting Again

We haven’t talked about Panini a whole lot on this blog lately (or Upper Deck for that matter). That’s because we’re primarily a baseball blog and their baseball related products have been…shall we say…limited.

I want to try to rectify the lack of non-Topps chatter some as we go forward, because there are some important […]

Card Collecting Terms I Hate

It’s been a couple years now since I’ve delved back into card collecting. I don’t know about you, but I’ve seen some terrible trends come about in my decade-plus-long absence that I would love to have the power to quash right now. There’s plenty of nit-picking that could be done, but for now let’s just […]

Stick(er) and Move

Don’t forget to sign-up for our Absolutely Free 2003 Leaf Baseball Box Group Break, if you haven’t already. Teams are filling up quickly and you don’t want to miss out on some 100% free cards!

The 2012 Topps MLB Sticker album will be coming out soon. I haven’t had a reason to buy any packs […]

Absolutely Free 2003 Leaf Baseball Box Group Break

Yes, that’s right. We’re going to give away the contents of an entire box of 2003 Leaf Baseball cards for free.

240 cards worth o' puddin! Awww, yeah!

A long, long time ago Panini was sending us free boxes of cards to review. One of those boxes was our favorite of the bunch was […]

Employee Appreciation Day

So, how did you all do in your office cubicle mini-golf tournament?

What’s that? You mean you guys didn’t have an in-the-office putt-putt course set up for Employee Appreciation Day a couple Friday’s ago? What?? You haven’t heard of Employee Appreciation Day?

Truthfully, neither had I. I’ve been with that company for 7 years now, […]

Let’s Not All (Gold) Rush At Once

So, you guys already know about the 5 Jumbo cases we opened of 2012 Topps Series 1.

As you can imagine, that left us with a massive box full of wrappers. Normally these would go to set packing material, but this year Topps announced a very limited-time offer to redeem your wrappers for more cards.

Working to Lift the Ban

Self-imposed bans are tough. Quite a while back, I mentioned that I was in desperate need of cleaning up my trade posts. In an effort to facilitate that, I decided that I wasn’t going to trade anything until I was all caught up.

Well, with my two month absence from the blog due to computer […]

Call Me A Sucker…

…but I actually believe Ryan Braun.

Coming home from work on Friday, I got to hear a large portion of his press conference after his 50-game suspension acquittal. I think just hearing the audio of it, without seeing his face, is what did it.

To this listener, it sounded like he voice was quivering and […]

Allow Me To Reintroduce Myself

(Post title inspired by the above song – which I argue is the best song on the entire Black Album. Thought about writing some parody lyrics, but that might be stupid, so I didn’t. Anyway, we now return to our regularly scheduled programme: “Gomme communautaire” – Community Gum)

I hear it all the time. […]

2012 Topps Series 1 Baseball Review and 5-Case Recap

Phew! Who knew baseball cards could be so much work! Still, even after opening five Jumbo cases for our business venture, you won’t hear either of us complaining (well, maybe after 16 hours straight of back-breaking sorting). You’ve seen a little taste of what to expect on our video from a few days ago, and […]
