4 slots remain in the June Group Break ($12 a slot), every person is guaranteed a minimum of 5 packs. Four of the packs will have chances to get autogamers at pretty decent seed rates.
I just started the hockey group break for next month ($12 [...]

Before Wax Heaven, I never once had any interest in bustin’ anything but baseball cards. Thanks to sponsorships, I have had the pleasure of reviewing basketball, football, hockey, and even wrestling trading cards and each time one sport stood out among the rest; HOCKEY.
Around the Internet and card-related message boards, the general consensus appears to [...]

Last week Dave & Adams Card World held a few contests where you could win the contents of the boxes they opened. With well over 100 entries I was the lucky winner of the 2009 Topps Finest Baseball box break. The M-O-J-O must be with me because I won the Ryan Howard ‘09 Topps Sketch [...]

Here are the winning picks from last week’s Beat The Blogger contest.
This week’s winner will be announced on Tuesday morning to see if you’re a
winner. If not, this week’s matchups will also be posted at that time so you can try
again. We managed to get one of our better 
turnouts
as far as total entries but still fell well short of our goal of 300 entries so keep
spreading the word so one lucky entrant can win the Chipper Jones signed jersey.

MLB
Tampa Bay at NY Yankees (Tampa Bay)
Cleveland at Chicago White Sox (Chicago)
Philadelphia at Los Angeles Dodgers (LA)
Milwaukee at Atlanta (Milwaukee)

Here’s the product I rarely open, simply because, at $40 a pack ($120-140 a box), it’s too expensive, especially for 16 cards, even if 4 of them are AU/GU. That being said, this is usually a very nice product, with some caveats. As with any higher-end product, you’re rarely going to get good value for [...]

Amazingly, I found all of these rookie cards in the ‘3-for-$1.00′ bin.
Orel Hershiser – 1985 Donruss & 1985 Topps. Hershiser was one of the fiercest competitors [...]

That’s what a number of Burger King franchises run by Mirabile Investment Corporation have posted on their signs.
Now, whether you agree or disagree with that statement, there are other things to consider in this situation. Does Burger King (the corporation) have the right to tell its franchises what it can/cannot post on the signs out [...]
