Happy Birthday to me! I bought a box of cards! I was at Tim’s Baseball Card Shop a couple months ago when it actually was close to my birthday looking for singles. I had a fresh, crisp $50 bill courtesy of a birthday card, and it seemed only right to trade that green piece of […]

It’s been a long time since we held our wildly fun and successful Dawson Hunt contest, so I think it’s high time we give away some free cards. What do ya say? I just purchased two boxes of 2008 Topps Moments & Milestones in part with money I won in my company’s holiday party bowling […] Before the first snowfall in Chicago…. Before the temperature dropped 30 degrees within a 24-hour time period…. Before holiday parties and Christmas shopping occupied everyone’s minds…. Before Thanksgiving, I wrote a little something mentioning that I was going back to my parents’ house and I was planning to raid the droves of junk wax to […] Wow! I can’t believe it’s been 11 days since our last post. Trust me, that wasn’t intentional. Free time has been virtually non-existent the past couple weeks over here, which is both good and bad. Good because life matters such as wedding plans and holiday shopping are getting taken care of. Bad because there’s been […] I recently took part in a Bowman Chrome Group Break over at Carl Crawford Cards. I actually didn’t mean to sign up for this break, I was trying to join in a previous one, but it was all full up. Long story short, I was given dibs on the Cubs for this. While I didn’t […] …from 1981! When I was back home last, I found this book that I bought in High School for about 10 cents from the public library. I know this isn’t card related, but it should be fun nonetheless. Bare with me. It’s called “The People’s Almanac Presents The Book of Predictions.” Published in 1981, the […] Danny Trejo is… Bichette Has anyone else seen this happen? I found this while rummaging through old cards some time ago. I can see the indentations on the front of the card, even though they didn’t scan well. What we actually have here is a Dante Bichette 1992 Topps Gold Winner variation that’s […] The big talk around MLB is how “long” the negotiations between Derek Jeter and the Yankees have taken so far. With reports indicating that the two sides are up to $80 million and a couple contract years apart in their thinking, a resolution may not be coming any time soon. Now, while I don’t necessarily […] Main Set When comparing Topps Update to Topps Series 2, it’s clear as cream that improvements have been made. There were no drastically miscut cards to be found this time around (although our Jumbo boxes did encounter the not uncommon phenomenon of bent corners on cards that dwelled near the tops/bottoms of the brick packs), […] I just realized that it’s been right around 6 months since I officially started collecting specific players instead of sets. I’m also just over a year back into the hobby. Looking back and comparing the two 6-month periods, there’s no doubt the second half was much more fulfilling and exciting as a collector. Before, I […] |
