2008 Bowman Chrome Baseball Review

If you’re the type that likes watching out of sync box break videos, check it out here. For those of you who like written words as opposed to spoken, see below.

Main Set

It’s tough to review the main set, because it’s not really clear what the main set is sometimes with this product. It […]

Tracking Our ’08 Bowman Prospects

Hey, everybody. Sorry about the lack of posts lately. I’ve been busy working on behind the scenes stuff with my other website, www.itsnotabook.com – you’re favorite website for funny videos. Remember, if it’s worth watching, itsnotabook.com. Andy’s going to be out and about and probably away from the computer until later this month as well. […]

It’s Official – I’m Collecting Players!

A few posts ago, I asked for your feedback and guidance as to whom I should collect. At heart, I’ve always been a player collector. I’m trying my hands now at being a set collector, but SPs sure ain’t making that transition the smoothest it could be. I had been out of the card game […]

Goodbye, Jody. It’s Been Fun.

We’ve had some good times and we’ve had regular times, but it’s time the times come to an end. Time.

Our sweet, dear Jody Davis has finally found a worthy suitor.

Ever since we unlocked the power of the hometown catcher on the Topps Million Card site thingy, we’ve seen all kinds of offers for […]

Does this change your opinion?

Well, in terms of viewer voting for whom I should collect (yes, my title was grammatically incorrect), it’s a landslide. The Riot leads with, I believe, everyone’s vote.

I think I have my mind basically made up and I’ll announce the lucky winner(s?) on my next post, but I just wanted to share this with […]

Who Should I Collect?

I’ve always been a player collector. I’ve already briefly mentioned how I collected Dwight Gooden and Darryl Strawberry as a young Mets fan. I’ll get into that collection in more detail in a future post (I need to rescue it from my hometown).

In my basketball days I was primarily a Michael Jordan collector (will […]

2007 Upper Deck Masterpieces Review

With every video box break (see below or click here), there is a review. This is that review. You know, the one I was just talking about.

Main Set

As far as base sets go, this is one of the smallest I’ve encountered in a while. I guess that’s why my major (and almost only) […]

The Beginning – My First Pack

The second in a series.

Last time, we left our hero after he had accidentally picked a favorite team. He had not yet opened a pack of cards, and to be honest, had no idea that cards existed until one fateful night.

The year was 1986. My dad was a High School teacher and took […]

Dawson Hunt is ending soon!

The contest ends at 11:59 EST. Just a few hours left to get your guesses in!! Click here to play!

And yes, this is a handmade card from when I was 12 years old or so, but that’s a story for a different post. Don’t ask me why there’s no pitcher. Probably too much […]

Sshhh, Don’t Look Now!

Sshhh! Don’t look now, but Panini is right behind you, checking you out. Nononono, don’t look, don’t look! No, seriously I think Panini’s looking to put some hardcore moves on you.

What’s it doing? Well, right now it’s kind of just sitting in the corner watching a couple others fight, but there’s something about it. […]
