Okay, so I’m taking a page out of NeedMoMorneau blog to do a box break for you guys. What inspired me to do this? I received a Topps Heritage High Number Flashbacks insert of Timmy from Dave from Fielder’s Choice today and I realized…I don’t really break boxes often enough to get newer cards to [...]

Wow, 2008 really showed me how many superfluous sets there are out there. In my mind, there is really only a need for four types of product a year: Base set (which is your typical Series 1 cards), Bowman Rookies (your rookies and prospects), Retro/artistic (the Goudeys/Allen & Ginters/Masterpieces), and your High end (Sterling, Exquisite, [...]

I’ve always advocated buying stuff on eBay on the weekends because it’s a statistical fact that cards and other things are cheaper. That’s because people don’t wake up early enough to bid or they’re out doing other stuff in the day. Playoff football helps out a lot because people are out tailgating or barbequing their [...]

I was looking at these the other day:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=280299156262
Not that I was going to buy them or even thinking about it. I just thought that it was a weird item to sell online, but in a way, I’m sort of surprised that it didn’t sell for more. Don’t baseball shoes in general cost more than $60? [...]

I haven’t bought a (hobby) box of baseball cards since I got two boxes of Allen & Ginter back in the summer, around July. Before that, I bought two boxes of Bowman Chrome back in October or November of 2007. Between then, I have bought a couple boxes of retail here and there, but my [...]

I have been pretty negligent when it comes to updating the blogroll because I just never get around to it. Well, it’s time to put an end to that today! I’m sure I’m missing more than this, but here are four blogs that should have been on the links a long time ago. Damn my [...]

So the Winter Meetings have come and gone and what have the Giants achieved this year since? A lot! They addressed major needs in the bullpen to support their young pitching staff and added an offensive bat with Edgar Renteria to fill in at short. Sabean has already pulled off an amazing offseason by addressing [...]

Sorry for the extended vacation; I guess you don’t actually realize how long you’ve been away from blogging until you see how much your peers have blogged. Onto some updates!
Thank you to Mario from Wax Heaven for sending a ton of Lincecum cards over. We hashed out a last minute Christmas deal for the Chirography [...]

Remember a couple posts back, I talked about the 2007 Bowman Chrome autograph card and how it was the centerpiece of my collection? Remember how I said it could easily be replaced if I found a card that was one step up in terms of parallel-ness? I found this on eBay today, and from the [...]

I received two packages in the mail today, one from Ross over at Box Busters, and the other from Steve over at White Sox Cards. They were both cards from contests from a week or two ago. They both left me with some sweet Giants cards. This brings me to a problem I was thinking [...]
