on February 13th, 2010 by Laurens

2010 Upper Deck retail [$1.50 each / $4 for three packs from a booth at a card show] – you can’t see his face, the front of his uniform or the logo on the cap he is wearing, but Aaron Rowand’s card [#427] is a pretty damn good looking card. The ball l…

Red Sox Collection – 1952 Topps Maurice McDermott

on February 13th, 2010 by shanediaz82

Continuing my recent trend of picking up vintage Red Sox, I acquired this 1952 Topps Mauric McDermott on eBay. I think everyone agrees that ’52 Topps is one of the most iconic sets ever produced. Unless I win the lottery (which I don’t play), this is …

Commemorative Patches

on February 13th, 2010 by JT

I don’t get these things. Am I supposed to feel special about pulling a card featuring a patch which “was created exclusively form 2010 Topps Baseball Series 1″? I don’t.
