About 2 Months Late Posting 19 Year Old Cards

One of the great things about trading is that you get to pad your binders will all kinds of wonderful new & old pieces of cardboard.  One of the “bad” things about trading in the blog world is that they tend to come in waves, and an infrequent poster like myself falls desperately behind.

That’s [...]

Record Breaking Trade With The Record Keeper

When you think of a “true” card collector, what do you think of?  What’s the criteria that pops into your mind?

Everyone collects in their own way, but that word “true” adds a certain qualifier that not everyone can meet.  Perhaps to you it’s similar to a super collector.  Maybe their collection is vast and [...]

Top 50 Michael Jordan Cards: #50-41

Now that we’ve let my last article simmer a little bit, I think we’re all ready for something a little lighter and fun.

Maybe I’ll start a discussion of another type.

Sunday, February 17th, 2013 marked Michael Jordan’s 50th birthday.  But you knew all of that already, I’m sure.  If you’ve turned on any sports [...]

Good Things Come To Those Who Wait

It’s a phrase we’ll hear many times throughout our lives.  Most of the time the way it’s uttered is riddled with cliche.  It’s small talk.  You could be discussing something as mundane as your weekend plans on a Wednesday and that co-worker chimes in “Good things come to those who wait.”

Right.  Thanks for that.

Group Break Shipping Update and Show Off Post

New Business:  I’m still working on getting the 2003 Leaf Box packed out and shipped to people.  The first wave went out last week, next wave will go out tomorrow and the final wave should be by the end of the week.  Thanks again to everyone for joining.  We’ll dive into a couple of those [...]

A Good Year

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 [...]

It Builds Character. And Thickens Binders

There hasn’t been much movement on this blog for a while.  I don’t like to see it sit and languish like this, but sometimes you have no other choice.

I could go through all the reasons why the posts each week have been slim-to-none, but why bore you with the same old stuff.  You people [...]

Topps Community Break Box #1 & 2: 1996 Topps Laser Series 1 & 2

Finally!  It’s 3am.  I stayed up late to make a little progress on everything, so let’s kick this sucker off right!

My hope is to get a box up each day, but don’t hold me to that.  I should be able to come pretty close to that, however.

To lead the way is a double [...]

All-Topps Community Break Sign-Up Is Now Open!!

I’ve teased it long enough. It’s finally time.

This is going to be the biggest Break I’ve ever done and it still won’t break the bank for you. How does 11 boxes covering 10 products throughout 8 years sound? The break is going to be all Topps all the time, but not in the way [...]

A Rally Cry For the Brewers (aka Inadvertent Jinxing)

Keep watching this space, because on Sunday I’ll be unveiling something that will keep this blog occupied for some time starting in late October.  Once that starts up, I won’t want to stop everything to wedge in a trade post.

Luckily, I have no qualms about squeezing one more in before the announcement.  Then I’m [...]
