Thanks to the folks at Razor, as well as Mario from Wax Heaven for holding the contest for the millionth visitor, I won a sealed box of 2008 Razor Letterman. Below is the video box break, but before I get to that, let me go ahead and review the product.
Card Design: 6/10. Don’t get me [...]

Anyone who busted 1990 Topps Jumbo packs knows all about the Glossy Rookies inserts that were seeded one per pack. These cards were an added bonus to the dull Topps flagship which was beginning to grow stale. Apparently, Topps knew this and was working on a secret experiment but needed to test out the technology [...]

This afternoon I received an e-mail from Paul over at Phungo about two Pittsburgh Steelers coming to sign autographs at the State College Spikes this month. On June 19th A.Q. Shipley will be at there to sign autographs and on June 21st Carey Davis will be doing the same. I probably won’t be able to [...]

I recently scored 7 Andre Dawson certified autographs off of Ebay for less than $30 delivered. This is card #4 of the 7.
I don’t even know where to start with this one…
Ok, so you have a game-used piece of jersey worn by Andre Dawson from when he played with the Chicago Cubs. Then you have [...]

Well, you leave for a week and lot happens in the sports world and hobby. Sammy Sosa says goodbye and makes a strong claim that he belongs in the Hall of Fame. I guess I missed that press conference and Sammy was never a player afraid to brag himself up. But my question is, is it really a story when you haven’t played in a year and a half to call a retirement press conference?
It’s amazing that a player who mesmerized the world only 11 years ago is cast aside
like a utility infielder. It really speaks volumes for the sports world, and baseball
in particular, these days.
In the hobby, Legendary Cuts Baseball is now available from Upper Deck. The 100-card
base set has countless, randomly placed inserts covering yesterday’s and today’s biggest
stars via game-used memorabilia cards as well as autographed and signature-cut cards.
Some of the “Legendary Cut” signature cards include scrawls from deceased baseball
icons such as “Joltin’ Joe” DiMaggio, Ted Williams and Roberto Clemente, as well as
deceased MLB executives including former Dodgers owner Walter O’Malley.
There’s also four color parallels (that’s four in all, such as blue, olive green,
brown and red), but that doesn’t do much for me. It just means there are more autographs
than what you originally thought.
I like the Generations Dual card that feature a legend and a modern-day player, such
as Nolan Ryan/randy Johnson and Reggie Jackson/Prince Fielder cards. People love to
compare anyway, and this is just another way to do so.
Upper Deck’s 2009 SP Legendary Cuts Baseball yields five cards per pack, with 12 packs
per box.
And some news for Topps Magic Football, 2009 style: On the heels of announcing it
would recreate college themed Topps Magic Football, one of its first ever sports card
releases, Topps is pleased to now announce it has added a very important subject to
the product…Jackie Robinson, Running Back, UCLA.
![rd2_JR_F[1].jpg](http://blog.tuffstuff.com/leadingoff/images/rd2_JR_F%5B1%5D.jpg)
Robinson entered UCLA in 1939 where he would become the first athlete in school history
to letter in four sports…Football, Baseball, Basketball and Track. And before
breaking baseball’s color barrier, Jackie played semi-professional football for both
the Honolulu Bears and the Los Angeles Bulldogs.
Topps is randomly inserting this limited edition card into packs of 2009 Topps Magic
Football, which ships June 18. Each hobby box guarantees three Autographs.
Nice to see some classic football cards entering the market to complement all of the
modern stuff, like Chrome.
All in all, there’s a lot of good stuff going on, and there should be even more goodies
and The National nears.
Finally, be sure to check out some signed NFL authentic items our sister publication,
SCD, is giving away. CLICK HERE to check it out.

He’s got talent (there’s no doubt about that). Sure, he needs a bit of refining. On American Idol, you are expected to oversing and overact and be over-the-top. Reign it in a bit, and we might have something really good on our hands.
But really, I don’t care if he’s gay or not. I don’t care [...]
