Neil Young sings “Pants on the Ground…”

on January 16th, 2010 by Dinged Corners

Video Recaps | Full Episodes | Webisodes…courtesy Jimmy Fallon. Too tired from state testing today to look up whether there’s ever been a trading card of Neil Young so I can at least remotely justify this post. Instead, I justify by hoping you enjoy.

Classic example of eye appeal meaning everything

on January 16th, 2010 by Newspaperman

So the other day while browsing eBay, I stumbled upon a 1954 Topps Ted Williams card I needed for my Red Sox Collection and Topps Number Ones collections. I always wanted this card, but because it is Ted Williams, because it is a 1954 Topps card and because it is the first card in the [...]

What Goes Around Comes Around

on January 16th, 2010 by Motherscratcher

It was ego really. Just pure ego. I mean really, how did I think I was going to get away with it? Like I was just going to willy nilly Bip people all over the ether with no regard for human life and common decency? Without any consequences? What a…

2009 Topps Tribute card stock Epic Fail!

on January 16th, 2010 by tigre

So I’m opening a box of 2009 Topps Tribute today, and I’m noticing that the card stock is thick, almost like two cards are just glued together, what was more interesting was that there was color in the middle of the card, which made me wonder… Did T…

Major Relic Mistake

on January 16th, 2010 by rosschrisman2003

Take a look at this “Chipper Jones” relic from ‘09 Topps Tribute.  Looks to me like Topps used a Gehrig relic instead of something used by Jones.  The piece thats in there looks way too old to be from Jones.  Doesn’t this make you wonder how many other mistakes companies have made?  Not all the [...]

The Yankees Next Big Thing!

on January 16th, 2010 by Jason

     In 1988, the baseball card industry, led by the nose by its publications, was neck deep in the hysteria of rookie card collecting and speculating. Look at the future Hall of Famers gracing this cover, for Pete’s sake! (sorry Pete)

     However, this is also probably one of the first issues to announcing the coming of Yankees minor league power prospect, Hensley Meulens. He even got a

One Less Decision to Make When it Matters

Last night I went to see the hugely popular movie Avatar 3D, and it was probably one of the best films I’ve ever seen.  I could watch that movie a thousand times and I’d still be learning new things.  The graphics were stunning and it had a terrific story behind it.  James Cameron has one [...]

1991 Bowman Greg Maddux

on January 16th, 2010 by 30-Year Old Cardboard

1991 Bowman Greg Maddux
Another great looking Greg Maddux card to add  to my collection!
By 1991 Bowman decided to abort their large-than-the-competition card design and issue cards that were the same size as the other brands.
This is a great looking card.  And while there are a ton of cards of Greg Maddux picturing him in all [...]
