Semi-Weekly Trade Bait #1 – Moments & Milestones #1

With my card purchases down to virtually zero, it’s time to ramp up the trades. I have a ton of cards just sitting around that are waiting to find new homes. I’m looking to start a semi-weekly post series (subject to change due to work schedules, personal commitments, blackouts and other time availability) to showcase […]

3 Blasters Of 2013 Topps – Almost All For Trade

Yes, I too fell victim to the new card smell. In case you haven’t heard, 2013 Topps is out. Last year we opened 5 cases of the stuff. We’re not doing that this time for various reasons, so I ran out to Target to get some blasters.

When I got to Target, they had none […]

2012 Panini National Sports Collectors Convention 5-Pack Break

Once again, neither delegate from the state of Community Gum attended the National Sports Collectors Convention this year. At least one of us should and will be roaming the show floor in 2013 when the NSCC returns to Chicago.

Even though we weren’t able to see all the amazing action in person, nor stand in […]

Let’s Not All (Gold) Rush At Once

So, you guys already know about the 5 Jumbo cases we opened of 2012 Topps Series 1.

As you can imagine, that left us with a massive box full of wrappers. Normally these would go to set packing material, but this year Topps announced a very limited-time offer to redeem your wrappers for more cards.

Breaking News: Topps MLB Sticker Album is Live!

I was in Target tonight looking for some stuff. At the checkout aisle, I peeked over the counter hoping to see some NBA stickers, since I still need a boat-ton of those things, and instead I saw this.

If you stick it, they will come

Yeah, buddy! I was really excited about the […]

I Bought A Repack Box

There. I said it. I’m not necessarily proud of it, but we’ve all been there.

I bought this in a particularly down time in my collecting life. I was on the hunt for some new NBA Sticker hotness (find my want/trade list on my trade page) and again had come up empty. I needed to […]

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 […]

This Trade is Garbage…

…Pail Kids!

My foray into collecting again is nothing if not based on nostalgia. I don’t know if more recent generations will have the same fondness for their youth, but practically every kid that grew up in the 80s loves to reminisce about pop-culture from the “early days.” Whether it’s cable television, MTV, and saturday […]

Some 2011 Topps You Haven’t Seen

After work today I went out to the suburbs to meet a good friend for dinner. While I was waiting for him to drive in from his meeting, I decided to stop by a nearby Target. What I was looking for was the Panini NBA sticker album, since I intend on consuming that heavily.

I […]
