The year sure does move fast, doesn’t it? It feels like just yesterday that Series 1 came out. Has it really been more than 2 months since our last contest? Part of that is we stopped getting boxes from Panini for whatever reason, but we can still think of something. It’s been almost three months […] Do you ever get that adrenaline rush coursing through your body right before something’s going to go down? It could be a car accident. It could be people moshing a little too roughly at a concert. It could be an unexpected meeting with the boss. Your body is psyching yourself up for confrontation. It’s screaming […] …is currently up for auction on Ebay. The year: 1997. My collecting days were beginning to wind down. I was 16 or 17 years old, and the work force’s call had to be answered. Normally, you would think that money from a job would mean more money for cards, but alas this was not to […] Well, it’s official. After a year of getting my collection whittled down and in order, I’m prepared to launch into a new stage of collecting. As a kid, I was a set collector. Sure, I jumped at trades for any and every Sandberg, Grace, Dawson, Canseco and McGwire cards I could get my hands on, […] My second foray into card collecting came in the midst of a dangerous era in the card world.

He graduated just one […] While perusing the blogs during my limited off-hours, it seemed to me that people rooting for the San Francisco Giants to win the World Series were few and far between.
