2011 A&G ABP – Trade Me These Cards

I never really paid much attention to the Allen & Ginter checklist for this year. I knew what mini sets were coming down the line, and I saw a couple things about the non-sport inclusions in the set, but that’s about it.

I didn’t follow it as closely as I normally would have, because we’re […]

Gotta Document Somethin’!

Phew. After this, I’ll have finally caught up with all the trades I’ve completed with Rhubarb Runner over at “e’ rayhahn, rayhah”. I got a bunch of other blogs to hit still, but this is something of a weight off my shoulders. I have a tendency to complete multiple trades with bloggers before I get […]

Hey everybody, did you hear? Breaking news! Allen & Ginter is live!

Oh, you did hear that already? Fine then.

Well, did you hear that we, Community Gum, the people writing this right now, the official sponsors of GINT-A-CUFFS iii, still have boxes available?

I Met A Pack Searcher

Do you ever get that adrenaline rush coursing through your body right before something’s going to go down? It could be a car accident. It could be people moshing a little too roughly at a concert. It could be an unexpected meeting with the boss. Your body is psyching yourself up for confrontation. It’s screaming […]

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 […]

STICKARZZ!!!!!! (for Trade)

If you’re anything like me, and there’s a small chance that you are considering you read the blog, you geek out a little bit with sticker albums.

Probably the best hobby news I’ve heard all year was that Panini was making an NBA sticker album. Then Topps announced they’re doing an MLB album later this […]

Don’t Vote For Me (aka Indecision 2011)

By now most of you have heard about Topps’ latest fan interactive effort. They are conducting a poll on their facebook page to determine the three next die-cut cards to be put up as prizes in the Diamond Giveaway promotion.

From the title, you may think that this is just going to be an extension […]

At What Point Does It Become False Advertising?

I’ll get to the main point of the post title in just a second, but first I want to encourage anyone who may have missed it to read Andy’s latest post below. It can be really easy for us to dismiss certain blog posts because of the title (I know I do it often when […]

It’s an event that must not be missed each year. And I’m inviting all of you to come watch it with me on twitter.
