After making highly publicized appearances at the 2008 National Sports Collectibles Convention in Chicago and on the cover of the November 2008 issue of THE WALL STREET JOURNAL, it was only a matter of time until the now-famous 2008 SP Legendary Cuts Abraham Lincoln Hair Cut Signature Card (Serial #’ed 1/1, Card #HCS-AL) was placed [...]

I watched a fair amount of football over the Thanksgiving break. I like the college
game (GA. Tech with a nice comeback), but I watch the NFL, too.
However, one thing is bugging me big time. The introductions have switched up with
the players either introducing themselves or someone introducing their teammates.
Well, when one players does the introductions, you only learn about half the players,
and ten it’s only by nicknames with no mention of that college they played for. I
like knowing what college they played for, as I try to remember them playing or can
think back to their college days and remark how they’ve lasted in the NFL this long.
Now when the players introduce themselves, it’s all about making a scene. THE U. of
Ohio. The Big T. Pinewood Elementary. Contrary to belief, I don’t think it’s cute,
funny or even informational. Just say where you went to school and move on.
If you’re good enough, you’ll get all the attention you need with your five second
of fame in introductions.
Nothing hard hitting here, just warming up before heading back to work for the Turkey
break. Hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving and have your holiday lists filled with
sports collectibles. We’ll get rolling with some more news and box breaks this week.

Thinking back to all the baseball card releases of 1990, some might forget about an “oddball” product that blew away every release of that year. ‘Collect-A-Books’ was exactly the standard size of a normal baseball card, used M.L.B logos but offered so much more than your typical ‘90 Upper Deck or Topps base card ever [...]

It’s no secret that I really like these cards. I have wanted to bust a box of them since I saw the 2007 Ozzie Smith. When I recently received the 2008 Black Border Ozzie Smith - it sent me over the edge so I went out and got a box. It appears this years run printed a little darker than the 2007 line, but I still really enjoy the cards. Some are a little too dark but for the most part they look great IMO.

Ok as usual we will start off with the base cards and a SP. The base card is Ken Griffey Jr and the SP is Bob Gibson. Both are good looking cards but I would rather see Jr in some part of his swing rather than posing.
