It’s almost a universal truth. At some point in our adolescent lives we give up collecting. For some it’s around the time we begin dating seriously, while others it’s when they head off to college. I’d say 95% of collectors I have met have given up on The Hobby and returned several years later.
For me [...]

Well its official. This year’s Allen & Ginter is out and collectors are going nuts over it as always. Each year A&G has something new to offer collectors. This year one of the biggest things I’ve noticed doesn’t deal with the cards at all, but instead its the box. Maybe its just me, but this [...]

One of the biggest disappointments of 2008 for me was not being able to bust a box of Baseball Heroes. I literally watched dozens of box breaks and watched several busts on message boards. It’s a crying shame that Upper Deck discontinued the brand in baseball.
While the Heroes brand did make it to football in [...]

I hate to say this but… I TOLD YOU SO!
Players like Andruw Jones don’t come around often. Here is a guy who came up to The Show as a teenager and immediately became a World Series hero for the Atlanta Braves. in 2005 he was runner-up for the MVP crown after hitting 51 home runs [...]

Box Two
As noted in my earlier post, my player is Dustin Pedroia, my team is the Red Sox. I have not had a chance to scan anything from Box Two, and won’t get to it until Friday. Cracking, writing and scoring these boxes is a two-hour affair, no joke. Add another for scanning and uploading.
All [...]

UPS informs me my Allen and Ginter boxes will arrive on the 14th. Ugh. By that time it will be time all the Gint-a-cuffs will be over and it will be time for the Upper Deck Icons-o-clash. That’s okay, though, because I knew it’d take forever for me to open my packs anyway.
Until then, I’m [...]

1972 Topps Fergie Jenkins
I was able to grab this 1972 Topps Fergie Jenkins card for a very low price and am surprised as to how great the condition of the card is in since it’s 37+ years old!!
While the ‘72 Topps set is not on my ‘favorites list’, it’s nice to add another of the [...]

San Francisco Giants OF prospect Roger Kieschnick went 3-4 yesterday, blasting his 17th HR, driving in three runs and scoring twice. In an organization chocked full of blue chip talent, Kieschnick’s 2009 season has gone widely unnoticed. However, the former Texas Tech star has been excellent this season, hitting .303 with 17 HR 66 RBI [...]

Last year’s Home Run Derby Champion has bowed out of the running for this year. Justin Morneau declined to participate this year. That leaves two titles up for grabs. The guy who actually wins (Morneau), and the guy everyone remembers (Hamilton).
Perhaps the winner and the most memorable performance will come from the same person this [...]

Fresh off of his 2009 NBA championship, Pau Gasol of the Los Angeles Lakers headed over to Dodger Stadium to throw out the first pitch in front of the very excited home team and fans!!!
I can only imagine that during those awkward seconds before Gasol makes his way to the mound that they are showing [...]
