Was Topps Reading Our Blog?

The answer, of course, is most likely no. Still, humor me.

When Series 1 of 2012 Topps was getting ready to hit the shelves and our grubby little mits, Topps made an announcement regarding the two big name off-season free agent signings. Jose Reyes and Albert Pujols were going to have “Super short prints” in […]

Thoughts on the 2012 Topps Baseball SSP Announcement: There Has To Be A Better Way

I know what you’re thinking. This of all things brought me out of semi-retirement? Well, yes and no.

Andy has been holding down the fort for a while, and he may have to for a little while longer. I haven’t posted in a ridiculously long time for several reasons. I’ll get into that in another […]

Ok…I’m Convinced This Is Intentional

(…Joe) from The Sandlot is one of those people. He took […]

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 […]

1981 Fleer Roundup

I’ve finally taken the time to go through the old Fleer lots and take down some numbers. I got very close to the 1981 Fleer set, which is awesome because (as I’ve mentioned before) that’s my birth year and I’ve always wanted to put together a set of ’81s from some manufacturer or another. So […]
