1999 Upper Deck Ionix Review

I’ve delayed it enough. It’s time to get a little in-depth with the Community Break boxes. No more wasting time. I’m just going to get right into it. Run through it real quick. So, here’s my review without further delay. Get your coffee and grab a seat. There will be no commercial breaks. Time to […]

A Trade With The Sandlot That Goes For-ev-er

**Quick update for all the Community Break participants: Your packages went out the door today! Sorry it took a little longer than I wanted. The product breakdowns, along with showing off some of the goods still up for trade, will be starting any day now. But first, I have to properly honor at least one […]

Community Break Full Length Box Break Videos

The time has come…sort of. The time has come for the youtube box breaks. I will basically be out of commission from Thursday on through Labor Day, so it’s really now or never. The time for write-ups about each product and showing off some of the goods in static picture format will unfortunately have to […]

Big Trade with Reader John

Posting want lists is a beautiful thing.

Not too long after I finalized my player collection spreadsheets and linked the google docs on our trade page, Reader John contacted me about taking care of some of those un-highlighted areas.

I sent him some Longorias, Lincecums, Greinkes and a few others and in return I got […]

What Part of the Jersey Is This?

Take a look at this bad boy I won on ebay not too long ago.

Not just your ordinary gray swatch

I was going through my typical ebay searches, when I saw this Marmol relic up for auction. The oddity of it (I’ll call it a “tag” for simplicity sake) caught my eye […]

Group Break aka Community Break Details

Out of the three people nice enough to vote on whether or not I should host a group break, a solid ZERO voted for it to happen.

So, what am I going to do? I’m going to hold a no pressure group break. Actually, let’s tie it into the blog and call it a “Community […]

Ebay Is My National…Sigh.

It took a few months to get everything formatted and updated the way I wanted it (sorta), but my Player Collection Lists (aka PCLs, btw) are live! You can view them all through the google doc links below, or on the buy/sell/trade page (my section is at the bottom). Viewing below is quicker this time […]

MLB Trade Deadline Passed. Who’d I Get?

Well, today the expected happened. There were a lot of rumors flying around and it could have ended up one of many, many ways, but the fact remains that Los Cubs traded away Ted Lilly and Ryan Theriot to the Dodgers for Blake DeWitt and a couple surprisingly-decent-looking-on-paper prospects.

I’m sad to see them both […]

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. […]
