Seriously, folks, turning this…
into this…
has to be the best off season trade this year. As a Reds fan, I loved Freel in 2007, winced in 2008, and wasn’t disappointed to see him go in 2009, even if at the time I wasn’t exactly thrilled with what we got in return.
But let’s take a look [...]

Although the design is one of my least favorites, 1991 Donruss created waves in The Hobby that can still be felt to this day. If you recall, Donruss inserted serial numbered Elite cards that to this day demand a premium despite some being numbered up to 10,000.
1991 Donruss has two different Jose Canseco base cards, [...]

In March of this year I blogged about a wonderful card Donruss was set to release. It was a quad autograph featuring the main characters from ‘Married… With Children’. The card in question comes from 2009 Donruss Americana and is numbered to just 20 copies.
As you can see from the actual card scan, all four [...]

As a Canadian, O-Pee-Chee will always have a special place in my heart. Upper Deck has been producing O-Pee-Chee sets in hockey for the past few years, and they have managed to stay pretty true to the tradition of the set. Large base sets, which features a lot of players who don’t normally get cards, [...]

It had been well over a decade when I walked into Florida Sports Cards in Coral Springs, Florida in mid-2007. The “itch” had been growing after seeing a sports card magazine and it was then that I decided to buy an overpriced box of ‘07 Topps Co-Signers for my official return to collecting.

If someone were to put a gun to my head and told me I’d have to sleep with Tori Spelling or Jackie Chan… I’d be learning to speak Chinese for the after-sex conversation between me and Mr. Chan.
