Whether you like it or not (and the answer is probably not), reprints are a part of the hobby these days and they don’t show signs of leaving anytime soon. It’s understandable that card companies want to celebrate their history and take advantage of what’s already well known to potentially draw interest. I imagine it […] There are some cards that are the bane of the collecting process. For some people, it may be those low numbered parallels. For others, it could be finding a good condition vintage card. Probably all of us struggle with needing cards that are way too pricey. You would think that the Moments & Milestones cards […] July was full of big acquisitions. Possibly too many. Overcompensating is a word that comes to mind. August wasn’t quite as big in terms of cards, but it still managed to be pretty dang nice as you’ll see.

That got me wanting to look at a few of […] 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, […] June was a bad month. I don’t really want to talk about June. I was rarely home. Bad things happened. It was a mess and a dark time. Being overseas, I didn’t want to look at stuff to buy.
