Randomly inserted into packs of 1999 Fleer Mystique was one of the earliest game-used sets to hit the hobby known as Feel the Game. The checklist was small but potent (for the time) and featured a mixture of established stars and the hottest newcomers. These cards were great for a variety of reasons. First, jersey [...]

That’s the best way to spend the 4th of July. My family spent the afternoon at GABP watching the Reds beat the Cardinals 5-2. It was a rainy day, so I didn’t get to take many pictures. I sought shelter during one of Albert Pujols’ at-bats so I could get a few shots of the [...]

The good ol’ boys of Beckett Media already busted their boxes of Allen & Ginter but for us regular collectors, we finally have a chance to own some of the most-wanted cards of 2009 thanks to eBay.
Ironically enough, the first autograph from A & G to hit eBay is that of former Marlins, current Nationals [...]

1986 Donruss Vince Coleman
I picked up this Vince Coleman 1986 rookie card at the same time that I grabbed this one.
While the 1985 Topps Traded rookie card captures Vince in a way that I will always remember him while on the field, the ‘86 Donruss card was not a bad pick-up either. The photo is [...]

On this day in 1939 the great Lou Gherig retired from the sport of baseball. A fan favorite and team leader, it was an emotional day for all baseball fans as a legend in the game was forced to leave his beloved sport to battle a deadly disease.
70 years later, Gherig’s legacy lives on and [...]

a good sports card message board. Basically, I don’t want to go to Beckett and have to sift through 10+ pages of nonsense just to find one decent post. I’ve somewhat glanced at a few and really didn’t make up my mind as to which I’d like to join up a…

I decided to have some fun for this giveaway. Everyone is invited to play, but you have to guess who is on the card to win. Everyone who correctly guesses gets a chance to be in the drawing for the refractor reprint card. Plus of course you get a pack of bad wax on top [...]

This morning I received an e-mail from Sport Kings informing me to check out the checklist for their new cut signatures which can be found in Series C. Going through the list, one name stood out more than anyone – “Shoeless” Joe Jackson. Knowing that Jackson has never had a cut signature made because he [...]

I’ll take my turn to editorialize. A few years ago in my church, we were having a celebration of freedom in America and they were playing the National Anthem. For some reason, I tried to put myself in the shoes of Francis Scott Key while he wrote the s…

Duffy DyerSomehow I think Duffy disqualified himself from making the backup catcher Hall of Fame by starting over half his team’s games in 1972 and 1977. However, he spent much of his career in the bullpen warming up guys like Tug McGraw, Grant Jackson…

This is the American holiday, and I intend to spend it in the most American way possible: watching Baseball at Great American Ball Park.
The St. Louis Cardinals are in town, trying to make it two in a row against my beloved Cincinnati Reds. The Reds should be safe today, though. Since David Weathers pitched last [...]
