One side effect of The Great Blizz-aster of 2011 here in Chicago was that the local release date for 2011 Topps was delayed. While the product was supposed to street on February 2, it was kind of hard to get any cards over to Target and Wal-Mart if the trucks couldn’t make it into the […]

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 […] I think it’s about time for another trade post, don’t you? This one comes courtesy of Emerald City Diamond Gems, your one stop shop for all things Mariners. All I had to do was ship off some cards from my 1997 Fleer Series 2 box break and I got these babies to add to my […] I think this is the last of the completed trades that resulted from what can only be considered an EPIC 2005 Leaf Baseball box break. 11 comments (I think a blog record, aside from the Dawson watch contest) and something like 5 trades came out of that thing. Pretty cool stuff, if you ask me. […] I’ve been lucky enough to trade with a few non-blogging readers in my short time doing this (sporadic as it may be at this moment – sorry this post is going to be pretty short, too). This latest trade revolves around a guy dubbed “Bat Doctor.” He was interested in my Sandberg sportscaster #/25 and […] I’ve always been the type to try my luck at grab bag situations, and I’ve been known to do okay. Back when I would frequent card shows in my teen years, there were a couple dealers that would have team bags or shrink wrapped bricks and if you found a hole punched card or a […] Posting want lists is a beautiful thing. Not too long after I finalized my player collection spreadsheets and linked the google docs on our trade page, Reader John contacted me about taking care of some of those un-highlighted areas. I sent him some Longorias, Lincecums, Greinkes and a few others and in return I got […] Take a look at this bad boy I won on ebay not too long ago. Not just your ordinary gray swatch I was going through my typical ebay searches, when I saw this Marmol relic up for auction. The oddity of it (I’ll call it a “tag” for simplicity sake) caught my eye […] It took a few months to get everything formatted and updated the way I wanted it (sorta), but my Player Collection Lists (aka PCLs, btw) are live! You can view them all through the google doc links below, or on the buy/sell/trade page (my section is at the bottom). Viewing below is quicker this time […] Well, today the expected happened. There were a lot of rumors flying around and it could have ended up one of many, many ways, but the fact remains that Los Cubs traded away Ted Lilly and Ryan Theriot to the Dodgers for Blake DeWitt and a couple surprisingly-decent-looking-on-paper prospects. I’m sad to see them both […] |
