Community Break Box #4: 2003 Fleer Avant

And now we come to box #4, putting us slightly over the half-way mark. I may not be able to post the next tomorrow, but this could hold you over for a while. Here’s the video for 2003 Fleer Avant.

How’d we do? If you haven’t watched the video yet, I’d say go ahead […]

2010-11 Panini Crown Royale Hockey Contest

I know, I know. You don’t have to tell me. I’m behind on just about everything these days. We opened our incredible review box how many days ago now? We teased the contest how long after that? And we’re just now getting to the actual start of the contest??? In the middle of a group […]

Community Break Box #3: 2002 Fleer Authentix

Sorry about the lack of posts yesterday. I didn’t have time on Sunday to pre-load a Monday post and Monday was right out. Lucky for you all, my car need some work done, so I’m taking off tomorrow and I may be able to get that Hockey contest going then. Anyway, I know the people […]

Community Break Box #1: 2000 Fleer Mystique

The moment you’ve all been waiting for has arrived. All of the boxes have finally been opened (after a small delay in the middle of everything), and I personally think that the break on a whole will prove to be a resounding success. My plan for the break, as I’ve mentioned before is to post […]

Card-ography #2 – Rich Hill

I meant to make this a more regular feature on the blog, but it kind of slipped away from me a little bit.

Now that I’m back into collecting, one of the biggest surprises greeting me […]

I Got the Hot Hand

Anyone who hasn’t signed up for my Community Break might want to consider doing so, because I’m starting a hot streak.

I was at Target and Wal-Mart on Friday during lunch looking for Heritage, Opening Day, NBA Stickers and/or Garbage Pail Kids Series 2. I had no luck out there in the suburbs (haven’t looked […]

Andy’s Belated Christmas Card Haul

Unlike Jon, I managed to score one card-related gift this Christmas!

From Jon.

Don’t worry, I got him something too and next time we’re at his place and not bustin’ mad stax o’ wax, we’ll be bustin’ some killer helicopter dunks in NBA Jam for Wii, which I ostensibly got for him but let’s be […]

Card-ography

Autographs.

There used to be a time when opening a pack of cards and finding an autograph inside was something you only heard about on the playground. It never really happened, even if Tomothy’s brother’s best-friend’s cousin’s neighbor swears he saw it with his own eyes.

When I left the hobby, autographs were starting to […]

2010 Topps Chrome Baseball Review

Here we are a full month after we busted open our case of 2010 Topps Chrome, and I’m finally getting around to writing our review. Let’s dive in, shiny side first, shall we?
