A Peach of a Trade With Rhubarb Runner

I’m so far behind on posting trades on here.

“How behind are you?”

I’m so far behind that I’ve already completed a second trade with Rhubarb Runner from everyone’s favorite fake Latin phrased card blog “e’ rayhahn, rayhahn.”

Okay, I’m no Johnny Carson, but it feels like Carson could have gone through 2 or 3 […]

My First 2011 Topps Card

One side effect of The Great Blizz-aster of 2011 here in Chicago was that the local release date for 2011 Topps was delayed. While the product was supposed to street on February 2, it was kind of hard to get any cards over to Target and Wal-Mart if the trucks couldn’t make it into the […]

Puppy Bowl is Finally Here!

It’s been an agonizing 364 day wait, but we can all rest easy. Puppy Bowl VII has arrived! Check your local listings and be sure to watch the grudge match of the decade!

Oh..and there’s some other game with some stupid cheese-eating hosers from Wisconsin against some factory workers in PA, but who really cares […]

Overdue Trade Post – The Sandlot Edition

Sometimes I love junk wax. While it may seem like everyone in the world should have every card produced between 1987 and 1996, the reality of it is that there are still some people out there that could use some of those overproduced beauties.

(…Joe) from The Sandlot is one of those people. He took […]

Overdue Trade Post – Reader Steve D. Edition

First, I want to say that if you missed it in all the Topps Series 1 madness, please take a look at my proposed group break. I’d love some more feedback before I buy the boxes. Link is here.

This blog has been nothing but contests for the past month. I don’t think that’s a […]

Future Group/Community Break Follow-Up

A couple months ago when I brought up the idea of hosting another Group Break (aka Community Break) on the ol’ blog, I didn’t get a whole lot of feedback.

Honestly, that’s okay. Because even though only 4 people commented on what they’d like to have broken, it seemed as if a consensus was already […]

New Player Collections Started

One of my resolutions for this year was to expand my player collections. Currently, my collecting efforts are centered around Greg Maddux, Ryan Dempster (as a Cub only for now), and Carlos Marmol. 1.5 starters and 1.5 closers, all pitchers. My goal was to add some bats to my line-up and reach at least 5 […]

2010-2011 Panini Timeless Treasures Basketball Review

Now that the cards have all been packed up and shipped out to the winners of our One Year Anniversary Contest (not to be confused with the other 3-4 contests we’ve held lately), it’s time to take a closer look and actually review this high end product.

Sure, we got the box (er, tin) for […]
