on December 14th, 2011 by deal

This was my first show at Bucks Technical.  After going to a pair of more larger regional shows over the last month the Bucks show was a little disappointing.  There were many 10-15 dealers with a decent variety of items.  There wasn’t m…

Al Stanek appears in the Topps set in three consecutive years. But he didn’t play in the Majors in any of the three seasons he’s depicted. This is his rookie card, which follows the only year in which he actually played Major League baseball. First things first. The trivia question on the back asks how [...]

A couple of great Pepsi MAX commercials

on May 9th, 2011 by JT

Starring Mike Schmidt, Rickey Henderson, Ozzie Smith, Lou Piniella, and more, these commercials brought a smile to my face. Though I wish they had gotten someone other than C.C. Sabathia for the first one. To be honest, I didn’t even know who it was until someone called him C.C.

Pepsi Max Commercial — Rickey Wins Again!!

on April 23rd, 2011 by ManOfSteal

Although I’m a Coca-Cola guy myself, Rickey has always had a relationship with Pepsi, and has done quite a few promotions with them in the past. It has been awhile since he’s done any work for them, but the new Pepsi Max commercial “Clubhouse in the Corn” more than makes up for the delay. The commercial is set in a Field of Dreams-esque setting, starring CC Sabathia searching for the whispers he

Inside a mighty mailday … at least for me

on March 21st, 2011 by chrisolds

Visit any sports card and collectibles forum and you’ll likely see one of these types of posts — a recap of what arrived into a collector’s possession that’s one part “Check This Out!” and one part bragging. It’s one part a reflection of a hobby and, perhaps, a reflection of the madness that is what we do as collectors. It’s the mailday report.
