Wait To Purchase SA-GE Cards

on March 11th, 2010 by rosschrisman2003

2010 SA-GE has hit the market and as expected many of the autographs have spiked in price.  It is one of the earliest products of the year to contain autographs of the 2010 Draft Class.  If I were you, I’d wait to pickup any of these autographs after a few weeks have gone by.  If [...]

Got Any Change?

on March 8th, 2010 by rosschrisman2003

No, Press Pass hasn’t gone the way of Pinnacle and started inserting coins in their cards.  I’ve had a few questions about these cards and so has Press Pass ever since they started to surface on eBay.  I can’t really knock these cards because the seller clearly states they are custom made and do not [...]

Flashback Product of the Week: 2008 Razor Letterman Edition

on March 7th, 2010 by rosschrisman2003

Before Razor became obsessed with their cut signature products, they released a few baseball card products for prospect collectors.  One of these products was 2008 Razor Letterman.  Each pack contains one autographed manufactured letterman patch of a prospect.  If you were really lucky you could pull one of the Pete Rose autographs which is probably [...]

The Speed Skating Sketch

on March 6th, 2010 by rosschrisman2003

The 2010 Winter Olympics may very well be over, but that didn’t stop Monty Sheldon from creating a sketch card of the most decorated Winter Olympian, Apolo Ohno.
When it comes to cards of Olympians, there aren’t a whole lot.  In fact, this sketch and his 2004 Donruss World Series Fans of the Game autograph are [...]

A Little Autograph Help Is Needed

on March 6th, 2010 by rosschrisman2003

For a long time now I have been getting autographs on various baseball bats while attending shows and other events.  This morning I decided to sit down and make a list of every autograph on each bat just to have some kind of a record.  I probably should have done this while getting the autographs [...]

Card of the Day: Mariano Rivera 1992 Bowman RC #302

on March 5th, 2010 by rosschrisman2003

If Upper Deck wants to keep its baseball card business alive they will have to get pretty creative with their card design.  One way I guess they could go is to design cards that look like 1992 Bowman Baseball.  A lot of cards from this set feature players in street cloths and contain no logos.

The Weird Stuff I Notice

on March 4th, 2010 by rosschrisman2003

I notice a lot of weird stuff.  I’m telling you its some kind of sickness I have.  Did you ever notice that the foam cut out around packs of 2009 National Treasures Football resembles a certain logo all collectors should be familiar with?  Take a look!

Maybe I just have Upper Deck on the brain.  Or [...]

on February 28th, 2010 by rosschrisman2003

In 1991 Upper Deck was flying high after it’s success with their ‘89 & ‘90 baseball sets.  I have no idea what they were smoking when they came up with the idea for their Comic Ball Series of trading cards.  In 1991 Upper Deck released Comic Ball Series 1 which teamed up popular baseball players [...]

Phillies Prospect Mailday

on February 27th, 2010 by rosschrisman2003

I’m not one to purchase cards featuring prospects.  I’ve opened one box of Bowman Draft Picks & Prospects and I don’t think I’ll ever go down that road again.  Its also not common for me to purchase single prospect cards off of eBay, especially ones that sell for hundreds or even thousands.  There is so [...]
