Big Time

It took much longer than it ever should have, but Community Gum has now reached the 500 post milestone.

It’s a momentous occasion that’s sure to go down in the annals of card bloggery as “another blog post.” Try not to get too teary-eyed.

1988 Sportflics Baseball Review

Back in April, we brought some true innovation to the blogging community. The first ever (to our knowledge) 3D box break was met with much little fanfare. Well, you saw our video, or maybe it made you motion sick and you turned it off. Either way, it’s now time for the inevitably delayed review.
