The Great, Cheap Ebay Lot Pt. 2

Remember way back in July when I posted about this big ol’ ebay lot I bought for about $30 shipped? That thing stayed mostly untouched for a good long while. I finally took the time to go through some of it. Let me tell you that there was a lot to go through. In fact […]

2010 Topps National Chicle Baseball Review

Baseball cards are steeped in nostalgia. Nostalgia for a simpler time yadda yadda yadda. Cornball as it sounds, nostalgia is what brought a lot of us back to the hobby after being seriously burned as youngsters during the junk wax era. It was the siren song of Heritage that brought this burnt collector back into […]

Million Card Hornswoggle

I had another post planned for tonight, but instead I’m going back to the Topps Million Card well.

For a while now, Andy and I have had two unused codes sitting and waiting for the magic moment where it starts spitting out nothing but good stuff again. I check the site every once in a […]

Talkin’ Topps Trades

Boy, you just can’t avoid that Million card giveaway, can you? We’re still sitting on 3 codes — just waiting for the next all ’50s refresh to pop up. Aside from refreshing that page endlessly, the other thrill on the site is seeing what kind of trades are being offered and what you can offer […]

Million Card Meltdown

Okay. The one code a day thing came to an end. It pretty much had to. We got a tip from Play at the Plate that the Topps site wasn’t random and was spitting out 1960s and 70s cards like nobody’s business.

I must admit, I was skeptical. I thought that “recently unlocked” list was […]

More Million Card Madness

Man I wish “card” started with an “M” so I could get the full alliteration going.

So, are you guys sick of the one-code a day thing yet? Andy and I just picked up another 6 codes in our packs today and are considering just going hog-wild on the website. What do you all think?

Olympic Pack Break and More Million Goodness

I’m covering two topics in this post today. The short one (Topps Million) will be first for those who want to cut and run early.

The “Goodness” mentioned in the title is a relative term. Let’s see what my 2006 Topps Heritage style Mickey Mantle code card gets me.

Let's all take knee, […]

Topps Million Madness Pt. 3

Before I start, can I just say that Germany is really pulling it’s weight in the Olympics for us. Current medal leader? I’ll take it! Of course all this trash talking is probably going to mean we won’t win a thing from JD’s contest.

Another day, another code to enter. I’d try to build the […]

Car!…..Game On! Game On!

Oh yes, my fake-named internet friends. It is on.

If you haven’t been following the contest over at JD’s Wild Cardz, you were probably either A) out of town like we were or B) one of the 2 bloggers who didn’t get a team.

We lucked out and snagged a little country named Germany. Maybe […]

Upper Deck Theoretical Situation

or: “How I Learned to Start Worrying and Hate Redemptions Even More”

Thanks to the Konami vs. Upper Deck counterfeiting lawsuit, as well as what is now another lawsuit brought about by MLB Properties (perhaps Topps will soon follow with their own), there’s been a lot of talk that Upper Deck may be on it’s […]
