Right around the same time that I held my All-Upper Deck group break, Ryan H of “O” No!!! Another Orioles Blog, was holding a smaller 3-box break. He came to me with the idea of trading. We’d swap open slots in our breaks (and I think he floated a couple bucks my way to cover […]

In my most recent post, I sung the praises of the #TwitterTrade. Well…second verse, same as the first. This time, I’m talking about Charles, aka @SWLVGUY. He’s another must-follow on there. Not only is he a great trader, as you’re about to see, but also a fantastic twitter ambassador for the hobby. Oh, and he […] Just like a player out by a mile on a Play at the Plate (hint, hint), I’ve got Frank Thomas’ number. And it’s 0692/3500. I'd say that's an accurate description. Brian sent over a couple cards this summer either as his part of a trade or as another one of his random gifts. I […] Reflections – fitting name for the set The card you see above is the last Kerry Wood card I acquired while he was still an active player, and quite an appropriate one at that. You see, it’s tough to tell the story of Kerry Wood’s career without touching on the expectations and the subsequent […] It doesn’t happen too often, but occasionally bloggers will get cards out of the blue. Typically we’re not those guys. There’s usually a reason for us receiving something from somebody. And speaking just for myself, I’m fine with that. I get so wrapped up in the various aspects of my life that I can’t spend […] How about that Walking Dead season finale? The first half of the season was terrible, and still not wild about all the inconsistencies and random changing of the rules on the fly, but at least we got a nice action packed ending. Oh, right. Cards. This is going to be a big one. Get ready. […] So, how did you all do in your office cubicle mini-golf tournament? What’s that? You mean you guys didn’t have an in-the-office putt-putt course set up for Employee Appreciation Day a couple Friday’s ago? What?? You haven’t heard of Employee Appreciation Day? Truthfully, neither had I. I’ve been with that company for 7 years now, […] I have very few card collections given my limited resources and space, but I did decide some time ago to begin collecting on-card Royals autographs. It’s been a blast so far trying to track these things down and this is the latest addition to my collection. To view the cards currently in the collection, take […] There hasn’t been much movement on this blog for a while. I don’t like to see it sit and languish like this, but sometimes you have no other choice. I could go through all the reasons why the posts each week have been slim-to-none, but why bore you with the same old stuff. You people […] Keep watching this space, because on Sunday I’ll be unveiling something that will keep this blog occupied for some time starting in late October. Once that starts up, I won’t want to stop everything to wedge in a trade post. Luckily, I have no qualms about squeezing one more in before the announcement. Then I’m […] |
