My Frank Thomas and Tony Gwynn Collections Have Officially Started

You can find the links to the spreadsheets listing which cards I have and need at this link right here.

I should also mention that my Kerry Wood list is also up there. I didn’t put him in the title, because the title was too long to begin with, and AdamE didn’t send me any […]

Recent Royals: 2002 SP Signature Carlos Beltran

I have very few card collections given my limited resources and space, but I did decide some time ago to begin collecting on-card Royals autographs. It’s been a blast so far trying to track these things down and this is the latest addition to my collection. To view the cards currently in the collection, take […]

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 […]

A Stupid Good Trade With The Daily Dimwit

This is me trying to get caught up on trade posts a little faster before my group break officially opens (possibly later tonight!!).

Back in the day, when I opened up my “birthday” box of 2009 OPC, I was able to finagle a few trades out of you guys out there. In fact, I think […]

New Player Collections Started

One of my resolutions for this year was to expand my player collections. Currently, my collecting efforts are centered around Greg Maddux, Ryan Dempster (as a Cub only for now), and Carlos Marmol. 1.5 starters and 1.5 closers, all pitchers. My goal was to add some bats to my line-up and reach at least 5 […]

2009 O-Pee-Chee Baseball Review

Happy Birthday to me! I bought a box of cards! I was at Tim’s Baseball Card Shop a couple months ago when it actually was close to my birthday looking for singles. I had a fresh, crisp $50 bill courtesy of a birthday card, and it seemed only right to trade that green piece of […]

Non-Trade Player Collection Write-Up Thingy

Now that “Conan” is over, I can write a quick little post.

One of my goals with this blog is to write a little blurb on each individual card from my player collections. Mostly, I’ve been accomplishing this through trade posts. On my trade posts, however, I mostly only feature some key highlights and not […]

Overdue Trade Post – Behind These Hazel Eyes Edition

I think this is the last of the completed trades that resulted from what can only be considered an EPIC 2005 Leaf Baseball box break. 11 comments (I think a blog record, aside from the Dawson watch contest) and something like 5 trades came out of that thing. Pretty cool stuff, if you ask me. […]

Upper Deck Sued Again! Enter the Dragon!

I don’t know how no one has really picked up on this so far. It appears I’ve even scooped Beckett on this one.

Our old friends at Upper Deck are finding themselves in more hot water. This time the stew is caused by Lew. Lew Alcindor, that is.

According to the TMZ exclusive (maybe this […]

2008 Upper Deck Masterpieces Baseball Review

Masterpieces, Masterpieces, Masterpieces. Bring back Masterpieces. Why won’t they bring back Masterpieces. I’ve heard from bloggers over and over lately. One of you even took it upon yourself to create a placeholder virtual set.

While this wasn’t a product I knew about until I came back to the hobby (just like virtually every product, really), […]
