Final auction price: $781.99
Yeah it’s Timmy and it’s a 1/1, but really? That final bid is crazy in my opinion. It’s a sticker auto with a fancy patch out of one of the more disliked releases of the year. If someone would want to try and explain to me why someone would want to drop [...]

That’s right, I’m sitting on $200 worth of eBay gift cards and my mind is spinning trying to figure out just what I want to buy. The plan was for me to pick up a 1953 Bowman Color Pee Wee Reese, but it seems now that Christmas is over the eBay sellers have jacked their [...]

The other day I received in the mail two 2009 Upper Deck Icons baseball manufactured patches that I purchased on eBay for like $2.50 each. They were definitely an impulse buy on my behalf; I do no collect manu-patches, and neither Jose Reyes or Jay Bruce are really guys I collect. I bought them because [...]

And of course, the sculptor had to feature Ozzie doing what he did better than anyone else, playing defense at shortstop…
What a great piece, huh?? The [...]

Ozzie Smith’s baseball cards are rare. Rare in the fact that may of them feature him playing defense. With set after set littered with cards showing offense, it was nice to find an Ozzie Smith card, and more often than not, he was being featured playing ‘D’.
Here he is blocking the sun from his eyes [...]

Make no mistake about it, Ozzie Smith is one of the greatest defensive infielders of all-time. And for shortstops, he ranks as #1!!!
Ozzie made playing defense cool. As a kid, I played first and third base. But that didn’t mean that I didn’t want to roam around between second and third trying to replicate what [...]

There is no bigger card in the 1979 Topps set than Ozzie Smith’s rookie card.
I had one of these cards as a kid and eventually traded it away(I’m sure that I got the short-end of that stick!).
It is very hard to find a well centered Smith rookie card for some reason. I don’t know if [...]

I see now that I was never meant to play Santa! Instead of getting the “12 Days” packs out in time for Christmas, I’m not shooting for “12 Days of January, or February maybe.”No excuses, no rhyme, no reason. The gift packs are still being assembled a…

Truth be told, I respect a player that delivers a consistent autograph. And if said player happens to deliver a great looking signature, I hold them in even higher regard!!!
Ozzie Smith easily accomplishes that task.
Check out his beautiful signature:
While I cannot tell if he signs quickly or slowly, it’s very obvious that ‘The Wizard’ tries [...]
