Panini Adrenalyn: The Cards

on March 22nd, 2010 by Offy

For the second part of my Adrenalyn report, I’m going to look at the card themselves strictly in a collectible point of view. To be honest, I wasn’t a big fan of too many of Panini’s basketball releases.  Normally, I’d spend a dece…

Joe Mauer Tags Out the Market Size Myth

on March 22nd, 2010 by Brett Lewis

In Sports Cards, people make the common assumption that the Market you play in almost completely defines the potential book value of a players’ card. Playing in a large market can certainly improve book value, but it has very little to do with the maximum value a card ends at. Contrary to popular belief, the ceiling isn’t [...]

What’s Your Favorite Product?

on March 22nd, 2010 by Chris

As Upper Deck still tries to figure out what they’re going to do about their baseball card situation, collectors looking to bust some wax are forced to go two routes: 1) bite the bullet and buy Topps this year or 2) Go back and bust wax from previous years. While I am not much of [...]

on March 22nd, 2010 by ManOfSteal

I received an an e-mail about a month of so from Thoughts and Sox regarding the Rickey Henderson Wal-Mart black parallel from 2010 Topps.
