Look Out For Cardboard Cuts

We are slowly moving into our new house.  We’re taking things slow.  On most days, we’ll move 5-6 boxes worth of stuff, shove it in an unused room and then paint or clean various walls, floors, sinks, counters, shelves, etc.

The previous owners were only there for maybe 7 years, max, but holy hell did [...]

The Greatest Trade “Throw-In” Ever

And that’s not me speaking in hyperbole to get a couple extra clicks, either.  Will you agree?  I guess we’ll find out in a few minutes.

Not too long ago, Dutch Card Guy and I worked out a trade for some of my Topps Minis.  He was working on the set and I was able to [...]

Halls Well That Ends Well

When 2013 Topps came out, I went a little overboard.  For a set that I have no intention of completing, I bought way too much.  A blaster or a few packs to test the waters is one thing.  Buying 3 blasters that basically costs the same as a hobby box is another.

The good news [...]

Beat the Heat

How about those Bulls, huh?  Congratulations to them for beating the Miami Heat and ending their remarkable streak.  It’s no 72-10 record, but Miami’s run was still quite amazing.

The fact that we were able to do it without Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah makes me optimistic for the playoffs.  I hope they can both [...]

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 [...]

No More Trades

Not for a while at least.  I have some packages due to Cards on Cards and Cardboard Junkie, and I’ll be sure to send some stuff off to them, but after that I’m going to go on a self-imposed hiatus.

It’s not anything to do with my impending move, either.  Well, partly, I guess.  Really [...]

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: #20-11

I thought I would sneak in another post in between episodes of my Jordan cards countdown, but it’s not meant to be.  Too many things to get done before leaving.

Need a refresher?  Follow the links! #50-41, #40-31, and #30-21.

If you thought what you saw before was good, just you wait.  We’re past the halfway [...]
