2005 Leaf Baseball Review

With Topps dominating the baseball card market, the pickings are a little bit slimmer than what I hear is usual. I’m still in my first full year back into collecting after exiting around 1997-98, so I don’t have much to compare it to. Honestly, I kind of like that there aren’t that many products out. […]

Gint-A-Cuffs II: Packs 17-24

It all comes down to this. Can we overcome the bearded one? Since the Code has already been cracked, this is the only hope we have left for this product. Sitting in 8 little powder blue packs. Cuff it up, muthacuffers!!!!

Pack #17

I don't know why, but I all of a sudden […]

Some People Will Buy ANYTHING!

We’ve opened our share of the case split with Beardy and we’re still working on our Gint-A-Cuffs scoring to figure out which is the best box. But in the interim, I did a little searching on ebay to see how much some of this stuff is selling for.

Most of it is right online with […]

2010 Topps Series 2 Review

We never did a formal review for series 1, so this one is going to be double-y review-y. And a little behind the times.

Main Set/Quality Control

I had to modify the header of this section because quality control is such a key problem. If you suffered through our video box break, you saw how […]

2010 Topps National Chicle Baseball Review

Baseball cards are steeped in nostalgia. Nostalgia for a simpler time yadda yadda yadda. Cornball as it sounds, nostalgia is what brought a lot of us back to the hobby after being seriously burned as youngsters during the junk wax era. It was the siren song of Heritage that brought this burnt collector back into […]

2007 Upper Deck Masterpieces Review

With every video box break (see below or click here), there is a review. This is that review. You know, the one I was just talking about.

Main Set

As far as base sets go, this is one of the smallest I’ve encountered in a while. I guess that’s why my major (and almost only) […]

2007 Upper Deck Masterpieces box break

If it feels like I’ve been AWOL for a long time here, let me assure you that it’s not due to lack of interest or stories to tell. In fact, the past week has been an utter whirlwind leading up to and including a super intense two day music video shoot for our new best […]

Post-Show Post: The Goods

Well, we made it down to Joliet and back in one piece. Actually, two since there are two of us.

It was a mall show, and as Andy said, our first in at least a decade if not closer to 15 years, so we weren’t really sure what to expect. You saw the specs Andy […]

2009 Upper Deck Philadelphia Football Review

Hey Guys. Remember football? It seems like only yesterday I was watching it….

This review and the upcoming, corresponding box break video were done a while back (before the new year). Yeah, the product has been out for a long time at this point, but if nothing else this is giving us more practice to […]

Inserts I’d Like To See

We’ve been up for a week or two now, and that means it’s high time we introduce a new feature.

Most of the ideas I have for this will require photoshop skills that I simply don’t have. So….for the first “Inserts I’d Like To See,” I’m going to make it simple.

Decoy Autographs!
