Observations from the 2010 NHL Winter Classic

on January 5th, 2010 by Tracy Hackler

BOSTON — The NHL hosted its third installment of the Winter Classic on New Year’s Day, this time in Boston’s fabled Fenway Park following previous stints in Buffalo and Chicago. The original Heritage Classic was held in Edmonton, Alberta, so I’ve had a chance to experience this type of event in all of these cities and I have to say that Boston was the best one yet, speaking from a collectibles standpoint.

After issuing a couple of unnumbered checklists in 1956 baseball packs, Topps took the idea to the gridiron and issued a single checklist card that year, also “pushed” into the packs:I had to grab that from Ebay as I have not yet waded into the 50′s in…

What I’m Reading: Topps Tribute, ‘88 Score, and 27 Giants

on January 5th, 2010 by Scott

Blue Heaven writes about the reintro of Topps Tribute cards in 2010 (not to mention one former Dodger’s sweet swing). I’m guessing this reintroduction will be popular with baseball card collectors.
Goose Joak is recalling the 1988 Score baseball card set with a tribute. Cool set if you ask me. And I didn’t know about the [...]

TTM Success & Interview Failure: Mark Grace

on January 5th, 2010 by 30-Year Old Cardboard

It took almost 2 months, 57 days to be exact, when I saw a very familiar envelope in my mailbox.  It was the envelope I sent to Mark Grace, Bobby Bonilla, and Shawon Dunston when I sent them interview requests along with hefty stacks of cards as a token of appreciation.
So when I grabbed the envelope out of the [...]

The 90’s: Underprinted Sports Cards in a Decade of Excess

on January 5th, 2010 by Brett Lewis

One of the biggest hobby stories of 2009 was the comeback of the 90′s collector. Coming back into collecting for this group (mid 20′s-early 30′s) meant coming to grips with the reality that your collection is probably worth nothing. The reason for this is simple, they printed too many cards! I was sorting through a box [...]

New Piece Of Phillies Memorabilia

on January 5th, 2010 by rosschrisman2003

I’ve been wanting to ad a Phillies rally towel to my collection for awhile.  They aren’t that expensive. This one only cost $9.00.  I believe this towel was provided during Game 4 of the ‘09 NLCS versus the Dodgers.  That was the night the Phillies were losing 4-3 and Jimmy Rollins drove in two runs [...]
