Aside from Thigpen looking like a giant dork in this photo, it’s not a terrible card. We have the cap-logo-next-to-the-card-logo thing, which I love, a nice clear shot of a somewhat broken-in Rawlings glove, and a background that looks almost fake. I s…

We love to hear stories about collectors and their pulls. Check out what Bob P. sent us.
My girlfriend had ordered a box of 09 Sweet Spot baseball for Christmas. I opened the first 2 packs and nothing spectacular but on the 3rd pack I see a thick card so I was a little excited. [...]

Great card. Nice action shot of one of the best defensive catchers of his time taking a throw to the plate. You even see his eyes concentrating on receiving the throw, the Rawlings logo on his mask and “All-Star” on his chest protector.A below average …

If you’ve been reading this blog at all, you know that I love equipment and shoes. And I HATE WHEN THEY’RE CUT OFF IN THE PHOTO. Seriously, why crop his foot out here? Just scale back a little, and you get Dayley’s entire body, and as a bonus, more of …

Now we’re talking. This a much more interesting card than the Scott Nielsen one. There’s tons of red, blue and white in the photo with Bosley’s ’80′s Cubs uni, the matching logo in the upper left corner, the red nameplate…it’s all great. Bosley is al…

’87 Topps is back! For good this time. And what better way to revive the dormant blog with…a really boring card. It’s too bad the shadows didn’t completely overwhelm Nielsen’s face (instead of just mostly), because then we might have been spared the …

I was able to pick up this subset for a very low price. It’s a 6-card set and it highlights some amazing accomplishments that occurred during the 1979 baseball season.
1980 Topps – ‘1979 Highlights’ – Card #1
Headline – ‘Willie McCovey’s 512th homer sets new mark for NL lefties’
Text on the back – Pittsburgh, June 9, 1979 [...]

The Hubbs card is one of the key cards from this set, because it’s an unusual acknowledgment of a player who died during the offseason. Because of that, and because of Hubbs’ promise as a young player, the card is valued along the lines of many Hall of Famers in the set. It’s also from [...]

Entering this weekend’s games, there had only been five players in the history of the NFL to ever record 1000 career catches. They are Jerry Rice, Marvin Harrison, Cris Carter, Tim Brown and Isaac Bruce. All of those players are Hall of Fame worthy even with their off the field transgressions. This weekend he had [...]
