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 #8: 2002 Topps Archives Reserve Best Years

Hey everybody! Sorry about the brief delay. If you’re anything like me, you’re most interested to see what’s going to come out of this heavy box right here.

Autographed ball! With Cards, too! How often does that happen anymore?

It’s worth mentioning each and every time, all of these boxes are courtesy of our […]

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 […]

The Henchmeister, Trading Some Cards.

Hench. The Henchmeister.

The Henchback of Notre Dame.

Turner and Hench.

Hench.

Sorry, I’m sure he gets that a lot, but I couldn’t resist. And yes, I copied the text you see when you roll over his link on our blog roll (if anyone even notices that exists), but that’s only because I’m not creative […]

Buckle Up. It’s A Long Road

If you’re wondering why I haven’t posted in a week, maybe what you’re about to see will explain it. You’re going to be treated to a very short introduction this time, because I’m writing 3,000 words or so overall on this doozy of a trade. Things like this take time you know.

The cards below […]

See, We’re Still A Normal Blog

Don’t let the whole retail shop thing throw you off too much, we’re still a typical blog at heart. I know we haven’t posted in a few days since the big announcement, but posts will go on as scheduled. The next time you read my words after this will be a returning feature, then I’ll […]

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 […]

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 […]
