Community Break Full Length Box Break Videos

The time has come…sort of. The time has come for the youtube box breaks. I will basically be out of commission from Thursday on through Labor Day, so it’s really now or never. The time for write-ups about each product and showing off some of the goods in static picture format will unfortunately have to […]

Big Trade with Reader John

Posting want lists is a beautiful thing.

Not too long after I finalized my player collection spreadsheets and linked the google docs on our trade page, Reader John contacted me about taking care of some of those un-highlighted areas.

I sent him some Longorias, Lincecums, Greinkes and a few others and in return I got […]

What Part of the Jersey Is This?

Take a look at this bad boy I won on ebay not too long ago.

Not just your ordinary gray swatch

I was going through my typical ebay searches, when I saw this Marmol relic up for auction. The oddity of it (I’ll call it a “tag” for simplicity sake) caught my eye […]

Shrek is Out, Skeletor is In

This guy stepped down as manager today.

What kind of baseball do you play?

My mom always thought he looked like this “guy.”

You be the judge

Well, his plan to retire at the end of the year didn’t exactly come to fruition, but surprisingly, it’s not due to the poor […]

Group Break aka Community Break Details

Out of the three people nice enough to vote on whether or not I should host a group break, a solid ZERO voted for it to happen.

So, what am I going to do? I’m going to hold a no pressure group break. Actually, let’s tie it into the blog and call it a “Community […]

Kinda Cheap Group Break, Anyone?

I know a lot of people try to arrange group breaks, and it seems like quite a few are being organized around us, but I wanted to throw one more in the mix.

I’ve gone on something of a wax buying frenzy recently. Spurred by the response to my 2005 Leaf Review (many cards still […]

Ebay Is My National…Sigh.

It took a few months to get everything formatted and updated the way I wanted it (sorta), but my Player Collection Lists (aka PCLs, btw) are live! You can view them all through the google doc links below, or on the buy/sell/trade page (my section is at the bottom). Viewing below is quicker this time […]

MLB Trade Deadline Passed. Who’d I Get?

Well, today the expected happened. There were a lot of rumors flying around and it could have ended up one of many, many ways, but the fact remains that Los Cubs traded away Ted Lilly and Ryan Theriot to the Dodgers for Blake DeWitt and a couple surprisingly-decent-looking-on-paper prospects.

I’m sad to see them both […]

2005 Leaf Baseball Review

With Topps dominating the baseball card market, the pickings are a little bit slimmer than what I hear is usual. I’m still in my first full year back into collecting after exiting around 1997-98, so I don’t have much to compare it to. Honestly, I kind of like that there aren’t that many products out. […]
