For weeks, I’d been itching to get back to one of my local card shops to dig through their vintage bargain bins. The Topps Million Giveaway promotion has rejuvenated my love for the old, smelly cards. So instead of paying inflated prices for a cardboard lottery ticket hoping to get something made before 1970, I [...]

Dale Murphy 1982 Topps
Can the photographer get any closer, jeez???
One has to wonder with the technology of the early 1980’s how close the person that shot this picture was to Murphy. And shame on Topps for releasing this picture as part of their baseball set.
Bad, bad, bad…

When news came out Wednesday that Nomar Garciaparra was announcing his retirement, I echoed the sentiment that many others had — didn’t he already leave the game?
Fact is Nomar Garciaparra has been a shell of his former self for much of the last decade, thanks in large part to a string of injuries that led [...]
