So Much Kila.

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 […]

Diversify Your Portfolio

Others may disagree, but I consider myself an optimist.

I try to find the best slant in every situation, but let’s face it. The Cubs are already out of it this year. They certainly had a chance entering the season thanks to a piss-poor Central Division and if they came out strong from the jump, […]

You’re In My World Now!

I’m back, and in 3/4 effect!

For those that are curious, the wedding went off without a hitch (aside from the near or possibly record low temperatures and biting strong gusts of wind. At least the rain had stopped by that point so we could take pictures outside). Andy took tons of video with our […]

Overdue Trade Post – Reader Steve D. Edition

First, I want to say that if you missed it in all the Topps Series 1 madness, please take a look at my proposed group break. I’d love some more feedback before I buy the boxes. Link is here.

This blog has been nothing but contests for the past month. I don’t think that’s a […]

Jon’s Christmas Haul

I hope everyone out there and a great, safe, action-packed, cardboard-packed, relic-packed, on-card auto-packed, pack-packed holiday season!

The presents are all unwrapped and the candy cane high is finally starting to wind down, so I think it’s about time that I showed off the goods that were waiting for me under the tree. Since this […]

Player Collection Progress Report

I just realized that it’s been right around 6 months since I officially started collecting specific players instead of sets. I’m also just over a year back into the hobby. Looking back and comparing the two 6-month periods, there’s no doubt the second half was much more fulfilling and exciting as a collector.

Before, I […]

Posts in Back-to-Back Days? Who Am I, Night Owl?

With the new month comes a new hope for consistency. I see that we only […]
