In my last post, I talked about the Topps Now program. But forget that! Let’s look at one of the original “daily” sets – UD Documentary. Gold win-loss for this post: 1-0 I’ve actually opened up a case of Documentary. 1-1 Why, you may ask? Well, the boxes were pretty cheap. 2-1 […] Even though time and work have gotten the best of me the past few years, I’ve still been collecting sporadically to keep me feeling human. Mostly, this just means buying cards, either as singles on ebay or comc, or buying boxes of stuff for the joy of ripping and the intention of trading/selling off the […] A while back (let’s say 2+ years ago, I think?) Kyle from Nolan’s Dugout contacted me about some Topps die cuts I had for trade. Those were the golden giveaway code redemption things you could only get online (unless you had a customer service issue and Topps sent you a ton of them as a […] Ever since I’ve found my way back into collecting, I’ve tried to treat myself to some sort of cardboard birthday present. Sometimes it’s through boxes of cards, but the past couple years, I’ve gone on a single buying splurge on COMC. This year, I don’t know if I’m going to buy anything.

It contained 40 different cards and I’m positive I paid quite a bit […] Don Draper ain’t got nothing on the cardboard industry.

Promoted Content. Commercials for one product that also has other products in it. I actually found it kind […] There’s a new trend in card manufacturing, and quite frankly it scares me a little bit. This season, Topps introduced a new product called Topps Now. This would not be a retail or hobby release, but instead an online exclusive with a very limited window. Each day, Topps would take events or milestones from the […] If I’m going to make this blog work for my schedule and my stupidly obsessive scanning and digital cataloging process, I need to shorten the heck out of them. Part of my pending burn out was the internal pressure to show a whole trade in one post, no matter how large. I want to show […] Oh, I’m sorry. The answer we were looking for was “Silk.” The saying is “Smooth as silk.” What’s that? That’s what you said? Well then your prize is to look at some cards.
