I Think You Know What You’re About To Read By Now

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 […]

STICKARZZ!!!!!! (for Trade)

If you’re anything like me, and there’s a small chance that you are considering you read the blog, you geek out a little bit with sticker albums.

Probably the best hobby news I’ve heard all year was that Panini was making an NBA sticker album. Then Topps announced they’re doing an MLB album later this […]

2010-11 Panini Classics Basketball Review & Contest

Hey everybody! Happy Cinco de Mayo! This post has absolutely nothing to do with that.

I’m here with the review of our box of 2010-11 Panini Classics Basketball. The box once again comes courtesy of the one and only Tracy Hackler over at Panini America. We’d be remissed if we didn’t thank him. And as […]

The Second Best Card I Ever Pulled

…is currently up for auction on Ebay.

The year: 1997. My collecting days were beginning to wind down. I was 16 or 17 years old, and the work force’s call had to be answered. Normally, you would think that money from a job would mean more money for cards, but alas this was not to […]

2010-11 Panini Absolute Review & Contest

As you may or may not have seen, we busted a box of Panini’s new high-ish end basketball offering on video a couple of days ago. We promised both a review and a contest, so here’s both wrapped up into one lovely little McDonald’s apple pie box package!

2010-11 Panini Absolute Video Box Break

Hey everyone! Jon and I have been busy prepping a wedding and taking a trip to New Orleans (respectively), but we squeezed in a quickie box break before our lives spin irreparably out of control. Big thanks to Tracy Hackler from Panini for sending us the box for breakage and reviewage (the latter forthcoming). Enjoy!

Predicting the Future of Sports #2…With Pictures/Proof!

Because you, the general public, demanded a sequel to the controversial original post, I bring you

Predicting the Future of Sports #2

Here’s the header to re-familiarize yourself with everything.

When I was back home last, I found this book that I bought in High School for about 10 cents from the public library. I […]

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 […]

Predicting the Future of Sports…

…from 1981!

When I was back home last, I found this book that I bought in High School for about 10 cents from the public library. I know this isn’t card related, but it should be fun nonetheless. Bare with me.

It’s called “The People’s Almanac Presents The Book of Predictions.” Published in 1981, the […]
