Boxes have arrived and the wife and I have opened two packs a piece. She’s already pulled a relic (Sizemore), a black bordered mini short print (or boarder, as Topps calls it), and one of the Greatest Hoaxes cards. I’ve gotten this:
I had no idea what was going on this card until I [...]

There are very few baseball cards featuring Jose Canseco that I have not seen, either in person or through the Internet. The sad thing is that even if I someday hit the lottery I will never have the opportunity to own every single Canseco card in existence.
That being said, I ran into this amazing 2004 [...]

As a collector, my biggest problem is having a short attention span. It took me nearly twenty years to pick up a Jose Canseco certified autograph and within a month I sold them all to focus on my Andrew Miller collection. Now a year later my Miller collection is something special and Jose is getting [...]

Collecting cards of players and teams used to be one of the only ways that people collected other than building sets. People collected their favorite team without the worry of a player being traded or leaving the team because it use to be very rare that players moved from one team [...]

This morning I received an e-mail from one of Sports Card Info’s dedicated readers Alan Duda. You might recognize the name because he was the winner of the baseball bat I used in a contest a few weeks ago. Alan wanted to know if I’d be interested in working on a project. He wants to [...]

The Blogger improved to post 7 of 10 picks but it wasn’t enough to hold onto
the lead, as a Beat The Blogger record seven contestants connected on 8 of 10 picks
to tie for the top spot. Gary Truman, Joann K, Jeff Barton, Dennis Juntunen, Ronald
Borczyk, DeMarie and Yale M. Brown will all be receiving a prize for their efforts.
It was the second straight week Joann K has won so a special congratulations
goes out to her. Thanks for playing and spread the word.
This week’s matchups are posted below so be sure to make your picks.
For those unfamiliar with the Beat the Blogger contest, the idea is simple.
The Blogger posts 10 matchups each week and then selects his choices for the winners
of those matchups. Contestants enter the Beat the Blogger contest by clicking on
the “Comment” section below the post with the matchups and then select their
own 10 winners. You can also designate one of your picks as a “Doubler” and
you will receive an extra point if you’re correct so don’t forget to designate your
“
Doubler”
pick and increase your chances of winning. If you Beat The Blogger’s total and post
the high score for the week, you win. The regular weekly prize is an authentic
signed 8-by-10 color photo of stars such as LaDainian Tomlinson, Drew
Brees, Marshall Faulk, Santonio Holmes, Gale Sayers, Catfish Hunter and many more.
From time to time, the Blogger will sweeten the pot for the weekly contest and that’s
where the Chipper Jones jersey comes into play. If we can get more than 300 entries this
week, the weekly winner will receive the Jones jersey so we need everybody to spread
the word about the contest so we can reach our goal.
This week’s Matchups
Saturday July 18
MLB
NY Mets at Atlanta
LA Angels at Oakland
Tampa at Kansas City
Philadelphia at Florida
Chicago Cubs at Washington
Sunday July 19
Boston at Toronto
Milwaukee at Cincinnati
Arizona at St. Louis
British Open
Tiger Woods or the Field
Winning Score: -6 or higher or -7 or lower
Good Luck

In case you haven’t heard, Dallas Cowboys quarterback, Tony Romo, split with his longtime girlfriend and former reality TV star, Jessica Simpson. Now while it may be true that Jessica, once on top of the celebrity world, is down and out, she is still one of the most beautiful women on the planet.
Ironically, Romo spent [...]

Yes, I know I haven’t been moving at a break neck pace at getting to your wantlists, but I have been slowly making my way through all of them.
I believe I made it up to Project Phillies, and if you’ve got a list before hers and I haven’t contacted to you about all the wonderful [...]

1985 Fleer Update Rickey Henderson
I understand that the card companies had little to work with when it came to showing Rickey in a New York Yankees uniform for this traded set. And to be honest, I oftentimes have been surprise by the amazing photos they get for these secondary issues since the number of available [...]

Upper Deck did a nice turn in 2007 with these pastoral, brushed-up cards. Available in slim packs of 4 (corrected from 6), UD Masterpieces captured memorable moments on roughened, canvas-like stock with gold foil framing. Loaded with parallels and othe…
