Seriously, the place rocks. There is so much cool stuff there, and lots and lots of baseball cards. Here’s some of the loot I scored today…
(By the way, I’m using the word “loot” very loosely. I actually paid for everything pictured below.)
The Parker and Soto that look like 1985 Topps are actually 1985 Topps SUPER, [...]

The Yankees haven’t needed the services of their closer for 3 straight games now. So Mariano Rivera sits and waits for his opportunity to collect save #498.

Furthermore, only 16 pitchers have [...]

At one point or another, every collector has fantasized about one day working in the industry. Who wouldn’t want to be a part of trading card history and be involved with the production of today’s high tech baseball cards?
