All those nice things I said about Topps’ photography?

on July 1st, 2009 by thehamiltonian

I take them back.
Beckett posted some images of 2009 Topps Allen & Ginter today.  Ginter will go live on July 8, 2009.   There is some cool stuff in there – the Michael Phelps base card looks awesome, and while the Invisible Man card is incredibly hokey, it did make me smile.  I don’t know who [...]

‘09 UD Draft Football Redemption Status Update

on July 1st, 2009 by rosschrisman2003

A few weeks ago I busted a box of 2009 UD Draft Football and pulled two redemptions.  One was for a Rudy Carpenter auto and the other for a Jamayel Smith auto.  Today I received a package from Upper Deck with the Carpenter autograph.  After redeeming that card, Upper Deck stated that it would be [...]

Trading with Tunguska

on July 1st, 2009 by handcollated

Is it really a trade when you haven’t sent anything back yet?  I’d forgotten all about working things out with Tunguska until a package of cards landed in my box.  Luckily I still had some cards I pulled for him aside and a brand new wantlist was enclosed in the box to boot.  Now when [...]

2002 Donruss Studio Baseball Review

on July 1st, 2009 by oldschoolbreaks

Well, July has arrived so what better way to start the month than with a box of 2002 Studio! In 2002, Donruss put a patriotic twist on its Studio line with Old Glory in the background of every base card/parallel, a revamped Spirit of the Game insert set, and actual game-worn flag patches used in [...]

TTM Success!! Lee Smith Signed Baseball!!!

on July 1st, 2009 by 30-Year Old Cardboard

This could not have worked out any better…
A week and a half ago I saw that Lee Smith was going to be on hand at a few Iowa Cubs games to sign autographs for the fans attending the game.  While I would have loved to have been in attendance to meet Mr. Smith in person, [...]

You’re such a nerd!!!

on July 1st, 2009 by JT

While looking for a scan of a baseball card on Google images, I stumbled across a baseball card blog I have never witness before. Nerd Baseball. The guy even ponied up some cash for a domain name, so it’s not Blogspot or WordPress…it’s just nerdbaseball.com.
Featured are a number of nerdy-looking baseball players, mostly from [...]

6/30 AA Minor League Report

on July 1st, 2009 by Jeremy

Boston Red Sox OF/C/1B/DH prospect Jon Still seems to be awakening from his June slumber by hitting his 3rd HR in the last four games.  Still had a big season at High-A Lancaster last season by hitting .265 with 22 HR 65 RBI and 30 doubles, but this year has been a different story.  Struggles with [...]

Andre Dawson Certified Autograph #7

on July 1st, 2009 by 30-Year Old Cardboard

I recently scored 7 Andre Dawson certified autographs off of Ebay for less than $30 delivered.  This is card #7 of the 7.
Do these cards keep getting  better looking or is it just me??
Numbered 52/100, this perfectly signed Andre Dawson card is from the 2003 Donruss Signatures Series set called ‘Team Trademarks Century’.  Donruss did [...]

6/30 AAA Minor League Report

on July 1st, 2009 by Jeremy

Brett Wallace seems to have emerged from his cold streak as he hit HR #10 yesterday, driving in three runs as well.  Wallace is hitting .447 with 17 hits in his last 10 games, but the weekend acquisition of Cleveland Indians 3B Mark DeRosa has effectively removed any chances that Wallace will get significant time [...]

This is called “beating a dead horse”

on July 1st, 2009 by Mario A.

I make it a habit to never watch ESPN. I do however occasionally find myself looking through their website for stories and news items. One recent article really made me think about Jose’s claim of being “blackballed” from baseball.
Joe Posnanskyi wrote in detail about how many players begin a downward spiral at the age of [...]
