Two defensive beauties (round 3 of the Topps vote-a-thon)

on March 13th, 2010 by handcollated

Juan Francisco expressed his disappointment in losing by going 2-3 with two home runs and three RBI’s today. And from what I heard, they were monster shots. Who knew he was a fan of the blog and so proud of his cards? Not me.

on March 13th, 2010 by themojohand

I posted a while back about the gazillion redemptions that were seeded in Topps 2008 Stadium Club, and how collectors ( including myself) have waited over a year to receive their autographs. After hearing my doggy Diablo warn me of the mailman’s presence I opened my mailbox to find these two envelopes inside.

1952 Mantle Might Hold the Solution to the Era of Overproduction

on March 13th, 2010 by Brett Lewis

The 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle is widely considered the greatest card of the Modern Era. The Wall Street Journal even did a story on how it is one of the safest investments in the world. I like to explain buying a Mickey Mantle card this way; the only foreseeable way you’ll lose money is if Mantle [...]

What do you do when you lose the joy?

on March 13th, 2010 by JT

When a hobby becomes a chore, how do you deal with it? Especially when other people are involved and it’s difficult (if not impossible) to just take a break from it, do you labor through it until you find joy in it again, or do you just give up on it?

Grand Galleries: 2010

on March 13th, 2010 by Grand Cards

Here’s the “home page” such as it were, for all of Curtis Granderson’s 2010 cards. This will be an interesting year, with a healthy mix of Tigers and Yankees cards. Once high end releases come out later this year, it will probably be a bit of a hodgepodge in that respect. This year, since this is the first year that I’ll be doing these galleries from the beginning of the year, I’ll be listing the cards in order of their release. If this gets to be too confusing or a pain, I’ll switch them to alphabetical.

As always, the master checklist for Curtis Granderson’s cards (yes, all of them) is here.

Topps Releases
Topps (Series 1)
Topps Opening Day
Topps Heritage
Topps Attax

Other Releases
Upper Deck (Series 1)

1973 Topps Ron Santo

on March 13th, 2010 by 30-Year Old Cardboard

1973 Topps Ron Santo
Another Spring Training ‘close-up’ – YES!!! 
Kind of a boring card here if you ask me.  The picture is lousy, and the 1973 Topps design does very little for me in the way of excitement.
What really stands out is how much older Santo looks in this photo than he really was.  [...]
