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: #30-21

Welcome to part 3 of my Jordan cards countdown. If you want/need to catch up, you can find #50-41 here & #40-31 here.

Tonight is the Oscars and Walking Dead, so when you read this on Monday know that I’m trying my damnedest to finish up the countdown by the end of the week. I’m […]

Top 50 Michael Jordan Cards: #40-31

Welcome to part 2 of my Jordan cards countdown. If you want/need to catch up, you can find #50-41 here.

As I was writing up this post, I got a package from Cards on Cards that included a few more new Jordans in it. There were also a lot of other really cool b-ball goodies […]

Top 50 Michael Jordan Cards: #50-41

Now that we’ve let my last article simmer a little bit, I think we’re all ready for something a little lighter and fun.

Maybe I’ll start a discussion of another type.

Sunday, February 17th, 2013 marked Michael Jordan’s 50th birthday. But you knew all of that already, I’m sure. If you’ve turned on any sports […]

It Builds Character. And Thickens Binders

There hasn’t been much movement on this blog for a while. I don’t like to see it sit and languish like this, but sometimes you have no other choice.

I could go through all the reasons why the posts each week have been slim-to-none, but why bore you with the same old stuff. You people […]

I Think You Know What You’re About To Read By Now

With all this talk of trade posts, I haven’t even touched on anything that’s happening in baseball these days. How about them playoffs? Game 162 was one of the most exciting nights of baseball I remember seeing (from afar). All I could do is follow on Yahoo and then catch the headlines later. But if […]

Buckle Up. It’s A Long Road

If you’re wondering why I haven’t posted in a week, maybe what you’re about to see will explain it. You’re going to be treated to a very short introduction this time, because I’m writing 3,000 words or so overall on this doozy of a trade. Things like this take time you know.

The cards below […]

It’s A Cardboard Smorgasbord

There’s no doubt in my mind that I’m the last person from BA Benny’s Baseball Card Buffet’s massively awesome group break to show off their goods. I’ve seen a couple of you go through the piles of cards in extreme detail, and most of you give a couple key highlights. I’ll be in that latter […]

Plaschke, Thy Trade Post is Really Late

It took a while for me to coordinate a trade with Plaschke, Thy Sweater Is Argyle. Which, of course, is all my fault. If I remember the story correctly (and I do roughly 78.3% of the time), he contacted me about getting something going while I was in the middle of some group break. I […]

It’s Almost Group Break Time!

It’s been a couple months since I’ve last held a group break of my own. First, it was the wedding holding me back. I guess that’s my first taste of the term “ball and chain,” eh? Now, it’s more a lack of funds. I know not everyone buys the boxes ahead of time, but I […]
