What a difference a year makes. What a difference trading with kids makes. Despite knowing more people that were trying to complete the 2011 MLB sticker album, I wasn’t able to finish it off until after the 2012 book was released. The sophomore release was a lot easier thanks in large part to the number […] We’ve been down this road before. It’s a good road. It’s a fun-filled road with interesting treasures to be discovered. A road laced with history. But this is a fragile road because it’s made of cardboard. It’s also a never-ending road to nowhere, because I don’t know what kind of metaphor or analogy or introduction […] [The fifth in a series: I’m picking one player that I associate with a team (whether they spent the majority of their career there or not) that I would strongly consider adding to my official want lists. They may not always be superstars, or the most popular, and honestly they may not always be my […] Right around the same time that I held my All-Upper Deck group break, Ryan H of “O” No!!! Another Orioles Blog, was holding a smaller 3-box break. He came to me with the idea of trading. We’d swap open slots in our breaks (and I think he floated a couple bucks my way to cover […] Yes, I too fell victim to the new card smell. In case you haven’t heard, 2013 Topps is out. Last year we opened 5 cases of the stuff. We’re not doing that this time for various reasons, so I ran out to Target to get some blasters. When I got to Target, they had none […] While everyone’s busy posting away with their brand new shiny, special 2013 Topps cards, some of us realize that there are other equally viable collecting subjects. What’s wrong with older cards? What’s wrong with talking about a 1986 Donruss card for instance? I mean, it’s not like we’re journalists. Why do we have to write […] 1993. The Buffalo Bills lost their third straight Super Bowl. Monica Seles was stabbed by a crazy fan on the tennis court. The Chicago Bulls win their third straight NBA Championship. The Montreal Canadiens win the Stanley Cup. The Colorado Rockies and Florida Marlins play their inaugural seasons and Joe “Touch ‘Em All” Carter hits […] In my most recent post, I sung the praises of the #TwitterTrade. Well…second verse, same as the first. This time, I’m talking about Charles, aka @SWLVGUY. He’s another must-follow on there. Not only is he a great trader, as you’re about to see, but also a fantastic twitter ambassador for the hobby. Oh, and he […] Things are going pretty well these days. I work from home, and while I’m training, my job only really requires me to work maybe 3 or 4 hours a day. I started up my new movie review blog with some of the extra time. Yup, I’m going to keep promoting it. I’m keeping up with […] Back in the early days of this blog we picked up a cheap box of 2008 Bowman Chrome Baseball. Oh, how young and naive we were back then. (Why yes, we did pick up a case of 2011 Bowman Draft Picks & Prospects last year as well.) Since Bowman is all about the prospect cards, […] |
