Some mail earlier this week brought in another Josh Hamilton autograph for the collection. I have been picking up some of Hamilton’s older cards lately, especially the hard signed autographs. Upper Deck released a few prospect oriented sets in the late 90s and early 2000s. Upper Deck Minors was one of these. These cards have [...]

But then I thought, why stop there? Why not throw Tom Henke into the mess! The more blood the better, right!?!

It’s a little early but I’d like to wish everyone a Happy Independence Day.
My mother and I came to America (Florida) in 1987 after getting robbed and tied up at gun point in my country of Venezuela and never looked back. Despite not looking anything like your typical American and not always being able to [...]

Well before there were baseball card “hobby boxes”, there were just baseball card boxes. If you were lucky to have enough money to buy a whole box, or you knew a card shop or candy shop owner who would give you the empty boxes (my local guy did), then you had an added treat. The [...]

As I start to dig in deeper and deeper into the assortment of Andre Dawson cards that are out there, I am often amazed by what I come across. While the subsets of the 1980’s and early 1990’s cannot compare to the bonanza of parallel cards from this decade, there was certainly more to tackle [...]

Prior to the start of the ‘09 season, San Diego Padres 2B prospect Eric Sogard was very high on my sleepers list. Perhaps it was his excellent first season in the California League (.308 10 HR 87 RBI 92 runs 42 doubles) or the fact that he is a former ASU Sun Devil, but I couldn’t help [...]
