Baseball cards are wonderful things with a ton of variety. Some of that variety is from different manufacturers that employ techniques intended to set themselves apart from their competition. Some of that variety is from the same company attempting different product lines with themes intended to catch unique sub-sections of the collectors out there. Some, […]

One of the most annoying things about collecting, in my opinion, is dealing with the non-standard card sizes. I’ve expressed my displeasure of minis in the past, but rarely do I get to talk about the oversize stuff. That’s because I haven’t been actively seeking the oversized cards for quite some time. When I went […] I know that yesterday I had a post announcing my annual return, but considering I actually think this could be for good… that probably warrants a second one. Taking a look at my archives sidebar shows that over the past couple years, there have been long gaps between November and April with no posts, which […] I’ve been holding off on posting some of my more recent trades here, but it’s really time I changed that. The main reason I did is that was the National. I put together some trade bait posts that attracted minimal attention, but at some point I had to lock down my want lists before the […] Okay, so as the title mentions, I need a little help. I hope you’ll bear with me to the end (or at least skip there) to see if we can crack this case. I’m not the most knowledgeable collector by any means, but I’m resourceful enough to find most cards that are tough to identify.

First, we’ll start with the Cubs team set I bought for $5. At the time I needed 2 cards, but now the rest are either trade bait, or they’ll come in handy if I choose another Cub to replace Starlin. The kid […] Oh, I’m sorry. The answer we were looking for was “Silk.” The saying is “Smooth as silk.” What’s that? That’s what you said? Well then your prize is to look at some cards. Can you guess what kind of cards we’re about to see? Oh, I’m sorry. The answer we were looking for was “Silk.” […] There was a time when I could put together blog posts and offer up cards for trade on a semi-regular basis. I even briefly offered up weekly trade bait (which became less frequent). You can still find those posts over here, and many of those cards are still available – just ask. I really need […] Even though my interest in blogging had been somewhat waning, I didn’t intend to reduce my output to one post every four months. You can thank my job for that. Those that have known me for a couple years know that this happened last year as well. The short of it is that my job […] |
