Binders, boxes, bins and more. There are many methods to store your cards. What you store your cards in, where you store your cards, and how you store your cards will affect the card itself.
Some collectors prefer binders, in which they have a page that inserts nine cards into each one. [...]

This is the kind of story that subtly illuminates some of the reasons behind our persona and our make up. It hints to how we become who we are and describes why our hero’s and champions earn their place in our hearts and minds, all the while performing consistent, ordinary and [...]

I swear, the older I get the faster time seems to slip away.My wife and I have had a lot going on in our lives lately, most importantly learning that our first child is going to be a boy – and no doubt a Darryl Strawberry fan, too! He’ll be our first,…

is charging $120/box or $5/ pack for me to scratch that Ginter itch. I laughed. I’ve got two boxes coming in the mail for just a little more than that.
And I’ve been posting this in comments elsewhere, but seriously: Blowout has boxes of Allen and Ginter for $73.99. Atlanta Sports Cards has them for $75.99. [...]

When news about the PRISTINE Joe Montana rookie card that sold for $65,000+ dollars hit the Internet, I immediately began doing my research. It took a little longer than expected but what I found came as somewhat of a shock. The auction house that sold the card, Modern Marvels Auctions, is owned by Dave Amerman.
If [...]

It’s been a quiet few months for my Andrew Miller collection. With Andrew being in his third season and continuing to struggle, it’s been frustrating as a true fan. What made matters worse is that for every five products released since late 2008, I was lucky if he was included in one.
It’s been months since [...]

Last year I did this list and it single handedly vaulted my blog through the roof, so I figure that I would post the schedule for free autograph signings during the 2009 MLB Fan Fest in St. Louis, MO starting this Friday. The signings are for free but you have to pay to enter the [...]

When it comes to Jose Canseco collectors, there are no two alike. Some are cocky and love to flash their big cards, while others sit in the shadows of eBay waiting for a rare card to appear so they can swoop in and add it to their collection.
Before the days of the Internet, I thought [...]

Mario from a popular blog you may have heard of before worked out a trade for some hockey cards a few months ago. I told Mario at the time that I was in no hurry to get the cards, but he still felt bad and sent me a handful of 2008/09 Be A Player Autographs [...]

The Chicago White Sox surprised me last year with two packages sent several months apart. Perhaps this year they will do the same, since the first package is not the greatest. Two schedules, a sticker, and several order forms for various overpriced items (which does not count as “other stuff”). Oh well, at least I [...]

I hold a special place in my memory of living in Chicago for five years and watching Cubs baseball on a daily basis. And in that place is a spot reserved for Mark Grace.
To put it on a level that everyone can understand, I will make this announcement – ‘I have never seen a player [...]

With a title like that, I suppose you’d assume that I acquired a Ric Flair autograph from Donruss Americana but that isn’t the case. However, I did acquire my first-ever autograph from the Americana line, a Private Signings card of John C. McGinley numbered to 50.
McGinley, a veteran of film, TV, and Broadway has been [...]
