Placez l’accomplissement (sort of) – 1990/91 Upper Deck

on January 24th, 2010 by handcollated

Finalement !

Twenty years after buying a cheap-o box at a card show in Evansville, Indiana, I can finally cross 90/91 Upper Deck hockey off my list.  Well the low series, anyway.  For all that it’s worth, I’m still waiting for someone to hand me the high series just so they can get rid of it.  [...]

on January 24th, 2010 by rosschrisman2003

In 2007, TRISTAR released a product called Elegance.  This was one of the few attempts TRISTAR has made with a high-end minor league card product.  I’m betting it was one of the more expense products TRISTAR decided to make, which is probably why you didn’t see any more Elegance releases after 2007.  Each hobby box [...]

With my Andre [...]

1992 Topps Greg Maddux – Base & Gold Winners
I have no idea when the ‘paralell’ era started, but I like what Topps did with their 1992 issues.  And for a player collector, it gives us a nice little set of cards with slight variances to hunt down.  Way before serial numbering came into play, card [...]
