Are you ready for some box breaks? Are you sick of trade posts? If you answered yes to either of those two questions, then you’ll be happy to know that we will be busting open some boxes very very shortly here on “the Gum.” This upcoming onslaught is one of the reasons I’ve been trying […] With all this talk of trade posts, I haven’t even touched on anything that’s happening in baseball these days. How about them playoffs? Game 162 was one of the most exciting nights of baseball I remember seeing (from afar). All I could do is follow on Yahoo and then catch the headlines later. But if […] Hench. The Henchmeister. The Henchback of Notre Dame. Turner and Hench. Hench. Sorry, I’m sure he gets that a lot, but I couldn’t resist. And yes, I copied the text you see when you roll over his link on our blog roll (if anyone even notices that exists), but that’s only because I’m not creative […] If you’re wondering why I haven’t posted in a week, maybe what you’re about to see will explain it. You’re going to be treated to a very short introduction this time, because I’m writing 3,000 words or so overall on this doozy of a trade. Things like this take time you know. The cards below […] How well I’m doing my job is based on one metric above all else: time. To stay “current” I have to keep the workflow within two weeks of today’s date. Everything else should fall into place from there.

Well, if you go back and proof-read it, I’m sure you’ll find several, but that’s not what what I’m talking about. It’s an error that could easily go unnoticed by everyone else in the world but me. I […] I try to take my blogging seriously. Yes, you see what I hope are jokes sprinkled throughout, but those just prove that I’m seriously trying to keep it entertaining for you all. And because I want the blog to be good, I study the greats of the business and try to learn what makes their […] What’s that? GQ stands for something else? Gypsy Queen, you say? Hmmm, I guess that means this is another GQ trade post… and another half-assed introductory paragraph. Brian over at the prolific Play at the Plate (over 1000 posts? Really? We’re almost at 350…in a year and a half of writing), contacted me about a […] Alright, I’m now into June for my scans. We’re getting somewhere! I might be able to make it into July before the end of the month if I’m lucky. We’ll see. Fingers are crossed. Next on the list is this trade with Sam of “The Daily Dimwit” fame. Here we begin a trio of trades […] I’ve found that I don’t typically share the same opinions about the hobby as a lot of the bloggers and twitterers out there. While several of you out there like to claim every quality control issue is a product of the Topps monopoly, I see it as a simple quality control issue. Was every production […] |
