Some People Will Buy ANYTHING!

We’ve opened our share of the case split with Beardy and we’re still working on our Gint-A-Cuffs scoring to figure out which is the best box. But in the interim, I did a little searching on ebay to see how much some of this stuff is selling for.

Most of it is right online with […]

Hey, That’s My Prize!

A little while back, “Hey, That’s Mine!” held a contest where all you had to do was comment to enter. The winners (five in total) would get one of Big D’s world famous custom cards featuring the subject of his or her choice. Why would he do this? Well, because he likes making custom cards, […]

2010 Topps Series 2 Case Break

Well, we finally took the plunge. We did the math and we thought we could break even on a Topps Series 2 Jumbo case. Can we? Only time will tell… Obviously this video is just a taste- we’d never make anyone sit through an entire case break. The whole process took like 6 hours. It […]

A Card Your Mom SHOULD Throw Out

I was reading some blogs last night and came across a post about 2010 Topps Series 2 and the Cards Your Mom Threw Out set and came across a scan of this famous little beauty

Caution: Reprint

You may be thinking to yourself, why would my moms throw that away? I’ll tell you […]

2010 Topps Series 2 Review

We never did a formal review for series 1, so this one is going to be double-y review-y. And a little behind the times.

Main Set/Quality Control

I had to modify the header of this section because quality control is such a key problem. If you suffered through our video box break, you saw how […]

2010 Topps Series 2 Video Box Break

Everybody loves box breaks! Everybody loves the Topps base set! Everybody loves us! Nobody loves miscut cards….

We opened 2, count ’em, 2, boxes of Topps Series 2 Jumbo. What can we say, we got suckered into the hat patch craze.

We walked in with virtually no expectations, and came away a little hurt, a […]

2010 Topps National Chicle Baseball Review

Baseball cards are steeped in nostalgia. Nostalgia for a simpler time yadda yadda yadda. Cornball as it sounds, nostalgia is what brought a lot of us back to the hobby after being seriously burned as youngsters during the junk wax era. It was the siren song of Heritage that brought this burnt collector back into […]

2010 Topps National Chicle video box break

Holy backburner! Jon and I got this box before my vacation in May and didn’t get around to breaking it until several days after my return. And I’ve just now gotten around to cutting the video of the break… hopefully I’ll have the full review up tomorrow. Unemployment is way busier than I expected and […]

Team Sets and A Lesson on Photoshop

Not too long ago, I picked up the Cubs team set at Target. The only real reason I bought it was to obtain these two fellers for my player collections:

Different Card Numbers and nothing else = Must have!

Sure, they look like 2010 Series 1 base cards (non-Lincoln, of course). They feel […]

2010 Topps Heritage review

As promised, here’s my take on this year’s Heritage. We bought ourselves a box from the good folks over at Dave and Adam’s and broke it on video because we love watching ourselves talk. Check out that video (and leave a comment/subscribe/rate us609247 stars if you’ve got a second- it makes us feel warm […]
