Anytime you get a chance to buy a Topps hobby jumbo pack for $2, you have to pounce on it. I don’t care what year it is. It also doesn’t hurt that I am trying to collect this set.187 – Ismael Valdes191 – Ramon Hernandez216 – Todd Hundley218 – Derek L…

Being a baseball guy, I actively ignore other sports cards, because it is more simpler to focus on one sport – impulsively, I guess I’d grab cheap base cards of stars from other sports as well as a few of the most cheapest packs [maybe a dollar each] o…

Last night I picked up a retail pack of Topps 206. I’ve been having a great weekend, which is following a horrible week, the low point of which was a near-snow day. Almost every school in the state was closed on Wednesday, but Milwaukee was caught in…

Ok…. Here’s how this worked. Fans who attended the August 7, 1983 Giants versus Astros game received a small box containing 15 Mother’s Cookies San Francisco Giants cards. Unfortunately, a complete set consists of 20 cards. Not to fear, though, ‘caus…

Here’s my first 2005 Upper Deck pack, purchased as part of a repack box sometime in the past couple of months. Some of the less interesting stuff that I open tends to sit around for awhile, and I’d probably say that this fits. The design is full-blee…

The last one in the box. Such sweet sorrow.Alex Rodriguez – For some reason, a very captivating shot. His throwing hand is slightly blurry; his face shows determination, even though he is just warming up; the first base line is fresh; the stands are fi…

The penultimate experience.Chone Figgins – This card could only be better if I could see the ball in flight. It looks like the shortstop is making a play.Matt Cain – Bama Boy! If it weren’t for some pipsqueak named Timmy, Cain would be finishing up his…

Lucky thirteen.Mike Cameron – In May of 2002, Cameron and Shawn Green both hit four homeruns in a game. Carlos Delgado equaled the feat in September the next year. That’s three of the 15 times it has ever happened, right there in the span of two season…

The dozenth pack in the blaster.Brian Schneider – I don’t think I’ve ever seen a baseball card of a catcher practicing.Chase Headley (Black Border) – If I were a Padres fan, I would certainly have a camo binder.Tiger Woods (20th Anniversary) – 1) What …

Time for elevenses.John Danks – Oh wow. Just–wow. Look at that pose. And his facial expression. He is clearly not eager to have this photo appear on a baseball card.Jeremy Hermida – It never fails–if I watch a baseball game with a non-fan, at some po…

Here’s the tenth pack of the blaster.Edwar Ramirez – Not an intimidating looking fellow, what with the peach fuzz and the turtleneck and the accountant spectacles. Is this how J.A. Prufrock would have looked in uniform? Are baseball trousers still made…

Pack seven will get you to heaven.Chris Tall Young – This is a brown background. It is better than gray, but it is no white. Some text on the back: “On 9/7/08, Young not only nearly became the first Padres pitcher ever to throw a no-hitter, he also alm…

Y’all didn’t think I could let you go two whole days without another OPC blaster pack, did you? The best part is that this is just pack number six. We’re not even halfway done with this bad boy.Andy Laroche – I like this card a lot. New project: assemb…
