Orioles or A’s?

on February 19th, 2010 by Matt F.

The mystery here is whether this is an Orioles jersey or an A’s jersey. The back gives no indication which team it is from either. You can’t really see it in the scan too well but there is some definite schmutz on the jersey. 2005 Donruss Prime Patche…

#120 – Steve Busby

on February 19th, 2010 by night owl

Card fact: In one of the more famous photo gaffes in Topps’ history, this is a picture of Royals catcher Fran Healy, not of Steve Busby.Like me, you may be desensitized to mistakes like this, just because there have been so many through the years. But …

on February 19th, 2010 by Kevin

“Why are baseball cards so attractive to kids and adults?”"I can only speak for myself. Years ago that was a source of information. Stats were always big. They were an educational index card. You read all the little small things that were on the back o…

on February 19th, 2010 by Jeremy

Saturdays are my day to search out some cards to buy. Actually it doesn’t have to be cards. It could be old cameras, comic books or old cards. I hesitate to use the term vintage, because some of the cards I’m interested in lately are from the 80′s and …

Another Crazy Trade with a Rickey Collector

on February 19th, 2010 by ManOfSteal

You never know when a new trade is going to pop up, but it’s always exciting when it does! Although I missed out on all of the cards from approximately 2002-2007, Ryan did not, and lucky for me, he also gathered quite a few duplicates, which I was fortunate enough to help him unload.I had a couple of cards that he was interested in, and coupled with a little extra cash, the following 12 cards

#473 Orioles Rookie Stars: Paul Blair and Dave Johnson

on February 19th, 2010 by Kevin

Wow. I’m sure I’ve talked about how hit-or-miss these multi-rookie cards are, but this is almost certainly the best of the bunch. The Braves Rookie Stars card with Clay Carroll and Phil Niekro is the only challenger, I’d say. It’s hard to beat six comb…

Stopped by and picked up two “cereal boxes” of 2010 Topps from the local Target. I am nearly finished with the base, but I was hoping to a) score some more give away cards b) knock off a couple of inserts and c) see what the Gold Chrome Refractor cards…
