My First Crack at Making a Retro Card – 1979 Topps Football / 1976 Topps Hockey

on June 18th, 2009 by chemgod

I have always loved the ideas of retro cards.  I never could figure out how to do it . . . until now.  I present my first retro card, I still have a long way to go to figure out this stuff, but I don’t think it came out too bad.

Let me know what you [...]

Career Best?

on June 18th, 2009 by handcollated

Here’s the auto I pulled from my 2009 Topps Jumbo box:

I don’t want to look a gift Red in the mouth here, but if you’re going to have a insert set called “Career Best,”  shouldn’t you make sure the guy on the front has an actual career?  Because right now, there’s not much to Dickerson’s, [...]

2009 Topps Series Two Career Best Autograph

on June 18th, 2009 by thehamiltonian

Topps Series Two usually generates some confusion, as they repeat a lot of the same subsets, seemingly without caring that they made the same cards once already.  Case in point, this Josh Hamilton autograph.  Yes, it does say ‘Series 2′ on the back, but having two Series of something generally means that they could be [...]

Baseball Card Prospecting

on June 18th, 2009 by Scott

I’m not a huge proponent of buying prospect cards to sell at a later date. Some call this prospecting, some might call it short-term trading. In any case, it’s very hit or miss. You can spend a ton of time researching prospects, invest a bunch of money in their cards, and they [...]

on June 18th, 2009 by slette

They’re officially ordered! I took a bunch of g/u stuff and some Twins autographs over to the card shop and traded them in towards two boxes of A&G. I’m HOPING this will get me the lion’s share of the set, aside from the obvious SPs I’ll be missing out on.
So what I’d like [...]

on June 18th, 2009 by handcollated

I’m not sure how far I’ll get into these today because of errands and the eventual work I have to do, but I finally started sorting through my Topps Series 2 box from this year.
Two quick things about the inserts so far:
1) There are too many of them. I pulled 13 different kinds [...]

on June 18th, 2009 by Newspaperman

For much of the last week, I’ve been on a Rocky kick. And trust me, soon enough I’ll put the stuff out of mind and return to the wonderful world of card blogging. But for the time being, I’ve got some stuff I’ve got to get off my chest as it pertains to one Rocky [...]
