2011 Bowman Platinum Delay

To anyone that may have been looking forward to our live break, it’s unfortunately delayed due to circumstances beyond our control. You know, one of those things.

We’re rescheduling tentatively for Monday. Maybe we’ll do a full on box break video and then do the other 3 on ustream, too. I don’t know.

What do […]

How Would You Play This?

The original title of this post was going to be “Well, I guess I can quit my bitching now.”

Most of you blogging types have had at least a modicum of success in unlocking limited edition, super-special, hachi machi die-cuts from the Topps code factory. I had zero luck after series 1. I bought a […]

My All-Star Team

In honor of tonight’s All-Star game, I thought what better time to show off some of the All-Star cards I’ve collected for my players. Simple enough concept, right? Let’s just jump right into it.

I was hoping he would be an All-Star again this year, but he had a rough start

I’ve already shown […]

Very Quick Update

Hey everyone,

I know I mentioned that I was going to have the contest results on Tuesday and it’s now Thursday. I know I said I would have the rest of the boxes up by the end of the week unless something happened.

Does acute bronchitis count as something? Cuz’ it feels like it to […]

Stanley Cup, here we come!

Chief Kermy

I’m not a hockey collector, but I am swiftly becoming a hockey fan. I started watching during last year’s playoffs. I had no idea what was going on, and I still don’t fully understand the rules and can’t follow who’s doing what when. All I know is that the game is […]

NPN Success

Today, upon my return from work, I was greeted with an envelope from the fine people at Panini.

My first instinct was that they had sent me a reward for finding that ultra rare, not supposed to be released Patrick Mills insert card. But of course that was a reward in and of itself, so […]

Waxin’ All Cool

So here I am digging through eBay when I see one of these auctions by sportscard megaseller Kruk Cards. For those too lazy to click, it’s an auction for 700 packs of junk wax from all sports. And, seeing that Jon and I are children of the junk wax era, Icouldn’t pass up the opportunity […]

Deconstruction of a Card

While going back through some of the cards we’ve accumulated thus far, I came across the Andruw Jones 2000 Bowman’s Best we got as part of that quarter bundle at the card show.

I noticed that the protective coating on the sides was starting to peel off. It’s kind of tough to see in the […]

JDs Wild Olympic Challenge – GOLD!

We did it!

JD uber alles!

Unless you’ve been blogging under a rock the past two weeks, you’re well aware of a fantastic contest sponsored by our new favorite blog, JDs Wild Cardz! We drew Germany in the random selection process, and their fantastic performance in the games earned us enough entries into […]

Have You Seen This Card Update!

Remember this post, where I mentioned I had that basketball card that wasn’t on any of the Panini Prestige checklists I could find? Well, hide the women and children. The mere mention of this card’s existence may send the masses into an uproar. Board up your windows. Batten down the hatches. Dust off those bomb […]
