Back in the very early days of Wax Heaven I had a routine I followed religiously every single time I taped a video box break. No matter what, each time I would pull a David Wright I would add “overrated” before his name. It was more of a joke than anything else but it drove [...]

Design:
The photography used on the majority of the base cards reminds me of the old Stadium Club sets from the early 90’s. Many of the cards feature nice photography and very little “flashy” extras. The 100-card base set is divided into 9 different sections. Each section uses great action shots. My favorites would have [...]

Yeah, I know I’m late with this, but I misread something that caused the delay. I’m not sure Upper Deck even goes through the charade of releasing preview images because I could have told you what the base set would look like back in February. It’ll be this:
Only with a hockey player on it.
The only [...]

Let me preface this by saying that I know very little about Clay Zavada. But I am eager to learn more as I, like many other baseball fans, am suddenly drawn to him. I have always had an affinity for players that sport unusual mustaches. From Goose Gossage to Dave Winfield to to Reggie Jackson [...]

Alright ladies and gents, here it is…my latest, greatest, and most complex contest yet. It’s no secret that “Gintermania” has been running wild all over the blogosphere lately with the countless breaks, Gint-A-Cuffs posts, and even the unraveling of the 2009 Ginter Code (hats off to those guys). However, now lies a new challenge.
When Mike [...]

This is a special little trade I made with none other than The Cardboard Fan. You may recall him from a few posts I have done in the past. We weren’t, what you would call, very fond of each other. I even went as far as to call him a few choice words and he [...]

The contest is for an Allen and Ginter game used card, here are the clues as to who the player is:
1. I was originally drafted by the Texas Rangers.
2. I have never been to the All Star game.
3. I am the home run king of players born in North Dakota.
4. I was the valedictorian of [...]

My Gint-A-Cuffs posts are in the middle of floating up in the queue. I have decided that I will be chasing the base set + SPs and the black bordered mini set. Everything else is up for grabs via trade either for Hamiltons or cards to help complete this project. Drop me a note to [...]

Yep, you’ve guessed it. I have another classic ‘oddball’ card of ‘The Hawk’ to share with you. And this time the famous battery maker, Duracell, got in the action with this 1993 release.
The card looks great and has a nice, bright feel to it’s overall design. I like the way that they incorporated the Duracell logo into [...]

Ask almost any collector who in their opinion is winning the baseball card war of 2009 and they will likely say Topps Company. From Allen & Ginter and Heritage to the huge success of the flagship brand, it appears Topps can do no wrong with their baseball line this year.
When I originally previewed 2009 Ticket [...]

Design:
I really like the design of this year’s Press Pass Stealth set. Each card has a chrome finish which looks cool. The various parts to the 90-card set keep it interesting while breaking the 24 packs. Some of the refractors can be hard to locate if you don’t inspect the back of each card. I [...]
