Yesterday was Greg Maddux’ 50th birthday. I’m not great at creating timely content, but it’s a milestone age for a player I collect. It’s worth making an appearance at this party. Now, the fact that it’s a milestone brings to mind the infamous 2007 and 2008 marathon sets, but while I have a ton of […] Oh, I’m sorry. The answer we were looking for was “Silk.” The saying is “Smooth as silk.” What’s that? That’s what you said? Well then your prize is to look at some cards. Can you guess what kind of cards we’re about to see? Oh, I’m sorry. The answer we were looking for was “Silk.” […] There was a time when I could put together blog posts and offer up cards for trade on a semi-regular basis. I even briefly offered up weekly trade bait (which became less frequent). You can still find those posts over here, and many of those cards are still available – just ask. I really need […] Even though my interest in blogging had been somewhat waning, I didn’t intend to reduce my output to one post every four months. You can thank my job for that. Those that have known me for a couple years know that this happened last year as well. The short of it is that my job […] A little over a month ago, I posted the first part of a very large trade package I received from reader Nick M. It’s taken a while to find the drive to finish this post as work is picking up again, my house is still experiencing issues that need attention, and holiday stuff is starting […] I know I’ve been questioning whether or not to continue the blog, but I can unquestioningly say that I’ve been extremely lucky with the bloggers and readers I’ve “met.” It’s a great community, and I highly recommend it to people that have the time. I’m very sorry that I haven’t for a while. Nick M […] Welcome to the last part of my initial Check Out My Cards purchase. If you’re just joining us, you can find the other parts of the countdown here, here, here, and here. I bought a total of 85 serially numbered cards as a Christmas present to myself in 2013, which was split into 5 parts […] I’ve been pretty inactive on this blog, as you can likely tell. I wish I could claim it was simply due to work taking over my life again, but it’s not true. I’m simply having a tough time finding the inspiration or motivation to write. Baseball cards are still great, and I’m not currently planning […] My last National post was all about cards I had, but bought again because I’m a dumb piece of dumb that’s dumb in the head. Today, I want to focus on the positive side of the doubles spectrum. What follows aren’t exactly duplicates, they’re parallels. It’s understandable that some dealers would have more than one […] The mind is a funny thing. I love my mind and take pride in my level of competence and ability to learn quickly. However, the mind is also a disappointing thing, and an unreliable thing. I’ve quickly learned that I can’t rely on the short-term memory side of my brain. That’s why I prepared for […] |
