Prospectors are STILL insane!

on June 7th, 2009 by Mario A.

To view the previous column, click here.
Very early in Wax Heaven’s history, I wrote a satire about collector’s obsession with young prospects. It was a slight jab to the 40-something year old men who chase down High School kids for autographs and photos. You can read my preview of 2007 Bowman Little League here.

Card Show Finds And Randy Wells

on June 7th, 2009 by gritz76

I was able to pick four more cards for my ‘62 set.  I was really looking to add a Willie Mays to the mix but he was no where to be seen on this day.  I was able to add the Eddie Mathews card I’ve been looking to get for a while.  Every time I’ve [...]

A Thousand “Junk Wax Era” Commons Equals One Honus Wagner?

on June 7th, 2009 by oldschoolbreaks

I’m not sure how many bloggers out there check in on trading forums but this special post on The Bench deserves some extra pub. One member, Tim Carroll, recently completed an art project for the ages. With nearly a dozen glue sticks, over a standard work week’s worth of time, and some very overworked scissors, [...]

Man on the Street – 2009 Americana

on June 7th, 2009 by Mario A.

While I may have several issues with Donruss and their complete lack of respect for the blogosphere, I cannot and will not ignore the fact that as a celebrity-themed product, Americana is the king of the hill.
Recently, Wax Heaven’s Man on the Street took the plunge and busted four boxes of ‘09 Americana, priced at [...]

The birth of the Refractor?

on June 7th, 2009 by Mario A.

For as long as I have been collecting, I have always been attracted to bright, shiny baseball cards. When Topps introduced the Finest line in 1993, it also came packaged with the debut of Refractors.

5/6 AAA Minor League Report

on June 7th, 2009 by Jeremy

Sean Rodriguez took a share of the MiLB HR lead by hitting #19 yesterday.  Though he has nothing left to prove at the minor league level, Rodriguez’s MLB opportunities seem to be limited right now as Howie Kendrick has been fully healthy thusfar this season and the Angels, after early struggles, seem to be zooming [...]
