The Definitive Collection (Baseball Edition) - 1986 Andres Galarraga

on December 2nd, 2008 by chemgod

Player: Andres Galarraga
Set: 1986 Fleer and Donruss
Card Number: 647 and 33 respectively
Why is These Cards are Must Have?: It’s interesting that out of all the great rookies that played in 1986 and 1987, Galarraga was the least remembered.  Talk about a totally underrated player. Did you know that he once had back to back to [...]

Twenty Dollar Updates

on December 2nd, 2008 by madding

For a stretch of time, starting with 1986, I used to get a Traded set every year for either my birthday or Christmas, or sometimes both. The 1986 and 1988 Topps Traded sets were instant classics with their player selection (and in the latter set, the …

2008 dav minor league master set team checklist

on December 2nd, 2008 by albuqwirke

Another slight departure from my normal reviews of minor league baseball team sets in that this entry isn’t intended as a “review.” Rather, my goal here is to simply let readers know what minor league teams participated in the absolutely wonderful Disabled American Veterans (DAV) baseball program during the summer of 2008. I’m not sure [...]

Card of the Day: 1991 Topps Roger Clemens

on December 2nd, 2008 by Newspaperman

When I picked up my copy of the new Beckett over the weekend, I spent some time browsing through the pages. I subscribe to Beckett online, so I have access to the price guide, but it’s still not the same as flipping through the magazine. I always seem to find something either I didn’t know, [...]

2009 Hall Of Fame Ballot

on December 2nd, 2008 by White Sox Cards

I know that I don’t get a vote, but I wish I did. Hopefully there will be some more consistent voting this year, but I doubt it. It will probably be more of the same. All I know is that a certain Chicago writer who absentmindedly left Harold Baines of…

Pack Break: 3-Pack Wal-Mart Special; 2008 UD Goudey

on December 1st, 2008 by Newspaperman

Had to stop by Wal-Mart today to buy some shipping boxes, so I made the usual trip to the card area. There was nothing new, but I decided to flip through the “new” 3-Pack Wal-Mart specials. This one caught my eye because it included a pack of 2006 Bowman Draft in addition to the always-fun [...]

Two Ivan Rodiguez Cards Slide Safely Into Home

on December 1st, 2008 by Joey

 
I have had a renewed appetite for one of my favorite players lately and on that momentum two more Ivan (Pudge) Rodriguez cards slide safely into home. By home I mean toploaders and a new place to hang out. You see these two Pudges have been sitting probably in a box somewhere on a shelf [...]
