Card-ography #2 – Rich Hill

I meant to make this a more regular feature on the blog, but it kind of slipped away from me a little bit.

Anyway, let’s delve into the world of Autographed cards with this episode of Card-ography, the second in a series.

Now that I’m back into collecting, one of the biggest surprises greeting me […]

I Got the Hot Hand

Anyone who hasn’t signed up for my Community Break might want to consider doing so, because I’m starting a hot streak.

I was at Target and Wal-Mart on Friday during lunch looking for Heritage, Opening Day, NBA Stickers and/or Garbage Pail Kids Series 2. I had no luck out there in the suburbs (haven’t looked […]

2010-2011 Panini Timeless Treasures Basketball Review

Now that the cards have all been packed up and shipped out to the winners of our One Year Anniversary Contest (not to be confused with the other 3-4 contests we’ve held lately), it’s time to take a closer look and actually review this high end product.

Sure, we got the box (er, tin) for […]

1 Year Anniversary Contest!

While one contest is wrapping up, it’s time to start up another.

Exactly one year ago today, Andy and I started up this blog with little more than a dollar and a dream. While that dollar has since been spent on 1993 Stadium Club; the dream remains. The dream is to continue growing the blog […]

2010 Topps Update Baseball Review

Main Set When comparing Topps Update to Topps Series 2, it’s clear as cream that improvements have been made. There were no drastically miscut cards to be found this time around (although our Jumbo boxes did encounter the not uncommon phenomenon of bent corners on cards that dwelled near the tops/bottoms of the brick packs), […]

Autographs.

There used to be a time when opening a pack of cards and finding an autograph inside was something you only heard about on the playground. It never really happened, even if Tomothy’s brother’s best-friend’s cousin’s neighbor swears he saw it with his own eyes.

When I left the hobby, autographs were starting to […]

2010 Topps Chrome Baseball Review

Here we are a full month after we busted open our case of 2010 Topps Chrome, and I’m finally getting around to writing our review. Let’s dive in, shiny side first, shall we?

24 packs per box, 4 cards per pack

Main Set I’ve heard a lot of complaints about the quality control on the […]

The Great, Cheap Ebay Lot Pt. 2

Remember way back in July when I posted about this big ol’ ebay lot I bought for about $30 shipped? That thing stayed mostly untouched for a good long while. I finally took the time to go through some of it. Let me tell you that there was a lot to go through. In fact […]

2010 Topps Update Case Break Highlights

Between work schedules, wedding planning, various social obligations, and other personal matters, Andy and me have been out of the blogging commission for a little over a week now, but since this is Halloween and all, I’m going to disguise myself as a blogger who posts regularly.

In our latest attempt to flip cases in […]

2008 Upper Deck Masterpieces Baseball Review

Masterpieces, Masterpieces, Masterpieces. Bring back Masterpieces. Why won’t they bring back Masterpieces. I’ve heard from bloggers over and over lately. One of you even took it upon yourself to create a placeholder virtual set.

While this wasn’t a product I knew about until I came back to the hobby (just like virtually every product, really), […]
