This is not good news. Russell Martin, who has added about 25 lbs. of bulk over the winter, will miss todays’ Spring Training game due to pain in his hip or groin area. He has taken a MRI with results pending. This all came about after he caught 5 i…

Orel Hershiser 1993 Fleer Ultra
By the early 1990’s Fleer knew it had to do something with its business to compete with Upper Deck. Card images and quality had reached a new level and for Fleer – Ultra was the result.
Overall, the Ultra product is very nice. And for this card of Orel Hershiser from their 1993 [...]

For a long time now I have been getting autographs on various baseball bats while attending shows and other events. This morning I decided to sit down and make a list of every autograph on each bat just to have some kind of a record. I probably should have done this while getting the autographs [...]

The Upper Deck blog has a post entitled, “Will Innovation Be Lost?” It’s a question Upper Deck is asking in the face of their recent settlement with the MLBP, and I’ll have more on it later today (I hope). But this part made me chuckle:
Upper Deck’s debut baseball release also introduced the industry’s first-ever anti-counterfeit hologram [...]

The only players since 1950 to drive in 100 runs while hitting fewer than 10 home runs are Tommy Herr and Paul Molitor. Herr drove in 110 runs with only 8 home runs for the 1985 St. Louis Cardinals. Molitor drove in 113 runs with just 9 homers in 1996 for the Minnesota Twins.

After seeing the news on the blogs on Thursday about how Upper Deck settled their lawsuit with MLB and wouldn’t be shipping any more cards, I realized I would have to hurry up and grab some before they were gone. I went to the Kmart in Penn Station af…

It’s been a while since I’ve done a Grand Gallery (or any galleries, for that matter), and I thought that I might as well tackle 2010 Heritage before people are completely sick of it. This marks a rather pivotal moment in this blog’s evolution. This will be the first card gallery that is in no way Tigers related. The cards represent Curtis Granderson’s full checklist from 2010 Topps Heritage, all in a nicely photoshopped Yankees uniform. As I said before, I believe that this is the beginning of the end of Curtis the Tiger. Fortunately, with this set at least, he’s moved on with class.
Base Set Simple. One card (#37) No Parallels.
Heritage Chrome I love the Heritage Chrome cards. I don’t know why it works, but these vintage designs and real cardboard backs just make these cards a wonder to behold–for the refractors at least. Curtis has one of the chrome cards this year and they are nice.

#C14 Curtis Granderson Black Refractor (#/61)

Heritage Stamps Last but not least, there is an insert set of Heritage Stamps (#/50) wherein nonsensical pairs of players are printed up on individual stamps and put in a nice framed card. The only Granderson that I’ve seen is with Jay Bruce. The checklist on these is a bit nebulous for now, so it’s possible that there are more Grandersons out there, perhaps on a brown stamp, or paired with another player. I wouldn’t bank on it, but you never know. For now at least, this is the one and only:

With small, easy to comprehend checklist and very nice card options, I strongly recommend that any Yankee fan-turned-Granderson collector start with this set for sure. Grab one of those black refractors and you won’t be sorry.
As for the Tigers–I got my cards in the mail the other day and am in the process of taking pictures. A full Tigers Gallery of 2010 Heritage should be up in the next few days.
