You know you have made it when they name a sandwich after you. I heard the Rangers broadcasters talking about this during the game yesterday afternoon, so I hunted down some info on it:
Grilled, crispy French bread, filled with thinly sliced baked ham, topped with sauteed onions, provolone and spicy pepper-jack cheeses, finished [...]

You might have guessed, or you might not have noticed, but I am in full Olympic mode, so the Hamilton collection is briefly paused. Well, not really – its paused in the sense that I am not posting my pickups. I am still making them, and still trying to organize them.
Go Canada Go!

This card is from the Band of Brothers subset of the America at War product. A paratrooper earned his jump wings by matering four main areas: physical fitness, parachute tower and landing techniques, packing their own chute, and actually jumping out of an airplane 5 times. If they refused one jump, they were automatically dismissed [...]

Not a huge dilemma, its more along the lines of ‘a nice problem to have’.
Normally, when I am browsing Josh Hamilton cards on eBay there are tons of cards that I want. Normally, I don’t have a ton of ‘card money’ at any one time. Right now, I have some free ‘card money’ and I [...]

I picked this card up at a local show – I might have overpaid a little bit, but I didn’t have to wait and I didn’t have to pay shipping. I dodged the bullet with 2009 Sweet Spot in that Josh Hamilton didn’t have too many autographs – UD really loaded up on jerseys for [...]

There hasn’t been nearly as much Josh Hamilton news this off-season as there was last season, probably a result of the disappointing season he had on the field, and the fact that he isn’t the ‘hot new story’ now. My card pickups have also slowed down a little bit in the leadup to Christmas, as [...]

As I said yesterday, this product hasn’t really caught my attention, but I wanted to try some new baseball form the card show today, and this was the only product I hadn’t already tried.
In 5 packs, I ended up with 5 minis, and 5 copper coloured cards, that I think they are calling gold now. [...]

There is a card show here tomorrow. I am not sure how many Hamiltons and / or baseball cards I will find there, but I will keep an eye out.
I haven’t had a ton of new Hamilton cards incoming lately, which explains the lack of posting here. Just in one of those stretches where nothing [...]

There was a surprise package in the mail today from Marie over at A Cardboard Problem. We have traded in the past, but I wasn’t really expecting anything at the moment. Here’s what I found inside:
Another one off my list of 20th Anniversary Cards. I believe Hamilton has 12 cards in this set, and I [...]

I made my semi-regular (read: when I remember about the site) trip to Checkout My Cards.com the other day, and just recently my cards arrived in the mail. This site is growing, and I really hope it succeeds long enough for me to get my act together and send some cards in. You may think [...]

Billy Butler Jersey Card.
Yeah, I’m not scanning it. Luckily, I also broke this box of hockey, which went much better.
I had picked up a pack, then put it down to grab the one I eventually took. I have no idea what was in the pack I put down, but it was probably better than the [...]

Just saw this quote in an article about James’s theory that any NBA player who currently wears #23 on their jersey should give it up in a tribute to Jordan, effectively retiring Jordan’s number league-wide.
Fine. A noble goal.
OK, maybe James isn’t quite that noble after all. The article had this quote: “I feel like no [...]
