Got these bad mamma-jammas (mostly) inked a few weeks ago. Have a look, won’t you? I have no idea when it’ll be coming, but trade bait will be coming next. Maybe. Until then, back to the drawing board. Drawing in the Dark…

I got seven packages sent out on Feb. 29th. Hopefully they’ve all reached their destinations by now. In the meantime, I finally broke out of the writing funk briefly and got nearly 1000 words in on Missionworks one night, but mostly I’ve been getting my art on. And it has mostly just been one big [...]

This is why I said these cards deserved their own post. I’m not that hardcore into vintage cards, cuz I’m usually too poor to partake (this also precludes me from high end cards mostly too), but seriously, Frank Robinson. For less than $3 combined. I don’t even need to say anything else. Just enjoy… That [...]

Heyo, Loneycakes (yeah, that better not stick) back with the Cubs and Bears portion of the latest COMC order. The Gale Sayers scanned rather nicely, but still doesn’t do the card the justice it deserves. Easily amongst the 10 best I picked up this time around. The Pog card is kind of a mess. Think [...]

(Un)Fashionably late to the party as usual, here’s my mercifully quick look at 2012 Topps series 1. Basically, it boils down to one thing, and one thing only, for me. This set drives me crazy on an OCD level, so I won’t be buying any more of it. Here is the thing that bugs me [...]

Heyo. More keeper goodness for the pleasure of visual stimulation today on the show while I continue making trade offers on the Diamond Giveaway site in the background. Still about 180 cards to move to get me down to 40 that I want, but that’s another post. We were on baseball, yes? Well then, to [...]

When I picked up those six random Brooke Morales cards, I also picked one other cheapie card from that same seller. Behold, 1960 Topps Jimmy/ie Dykes: Great infotoonment on the back. The “No second chance” one is particularly badass. And since this post is so short, here’s a lil keeper filler that I scanned but [...]

Well, a few of you anyway. If your name is Wicked Ortega, Offy, Shoebox Legends, Things Are Funner Here, Big D, Night Owl, Dayf, Play at the Plate, or Paul’s Random Stuff, you should all have cards ready to be sent your way from me as soon as it gets back into the 40s here, or at least [...]

Hi! Wow, we’re gonna be posting two days in a row! If I may be so bold as to promote an internet buddy of mine’s podcast for my nerdier readers out there before we get to it, I’m listening to the latest Nerd Nation Podcast (with guest Savage Hawkman’s Mark Poulton) as I type this. [...]

I’ve set my blog to be blacked out in protest of SOPA and PIPA from 8am-8pm today. These despicable bills must not be allowed to pass because are fundamentally, fatally flawed on every conceivable level. Here’s a nice look at how screwed we all are if this passes: LINKY So yeah, these horrible abominations of [...]

Hi! What’s new in the new year? Not much to say on the card front, other than I finally got around to having my latest order from Check Out My Cards shipped. A little over 100 more on the way. Night Owl & maybe a couple others will be getting their cards out of this [...]

I’m not up for posting anything thoughtful or intelligent or insightful or any other big word at the moment. So how about pics of my latest batch of cards shipped from COMC? (Another order, that I was intending to have shipped in mid-december, will be on the way soon.) Yep, I accidentally bought two Nelson [...]

So I’ve decided to somewhat refocus my collection. If you’ve stopped by the player collection or set pages, you may have noticed a few changes. So here they are. First, this means reorganizing my player collections. Baseball: Tyler Colvin, Geovany Soto, Fred McGriff, Hanley Ramirez, and Ken Griffey Jr. are all most likely permanently deactivated player [...]

Better get these posted up, since my ginormo 123 card order got here a few days ago and will be scanned soon. Plus there’s another good-sized order I’ll be having shipped before Christmas! I’ll see about getting the trade bait added onto it’s proper page after I finish (this could mean tomorrow or 2018, I [...]

Haven’t been paying much attention to the blogs lately. Been busy failing badly at NaNoWriMo again this year. After literally years of trying to figure out how to start the dang thing, Somewhere Out There IS finally started and has an actual direction at least. I’m 10000+ words in and know where the story is headed, so [...]

So I stopped by the Diamond Giveaway site like I do at least once almost every day, to clear out most trade offers & accept any I might like (there are two definite accepts today, for the record). In recent days, I’ve also been checking to see if the final three Die-Cuts had dropped yet. [...]
