It’s Almost Group Break Time!

It’s been a couple months since I’ve last held a group break of my own. First, it was the wedding holding me back. I guess that’s my first taste of the term “ball and chain,” eh? Now, it’s more a lack of funds. I know not everyone buys the boxes ahead of time, but I […]

Ok…I’m Convinced This Is Intentional

I don’t remember who re-kindled the discussion recently (I think it was Night Owl), but a couple blogs ran with the differences between the 60 Years of Topps/Cards Your Mother Threw Out reprints versus the original cards.

The general consensus from the comments was that Topps is lazy and why the heck can’t they match […]

My Frank Thomas and Tony Gwynn Collections Have Officially Started

You can find the links to the spreadsheets listing which cards I have and need at this link right here.

I should also mention that my Kerry Wood list is also up there. I didn’t put him in the title, because the title was too long to begin with, and AdamE didn’t send me any […]

Recent Royals: 2005 Topps Retired Jim Frey

One Good Break Deserves Another

Just so we’re clear, the “One Good Break” is the group break Colbey (flywheels) held quite a while back ago. He’s since held two more (of which, I participated in one as partial payment for my break — that rundown will be coming to the blog eventually). The “Another” is hopefully my recent breaks.

The […]

Community Break Box #7: 2005 Fleer Showcase

Well, I’m said to say we’ve come to the end of the line of this Community Break. I hope everyone out there had as good a time watching as I did opening. But before we wrap this thing up officially, I have one more box to “showcase.” 2005 Fleer Showcase, that is.

How’d we […]

It is time, ladies and gentlemen! You helped create it, now you can finally obtain the cards you selected from the boxes that I get to open!

The Second Annual (?) Community Break is now open!
