This is the second of the 2 1961 Topps cards that Mark from Marks Ephemera sent me a while back. It’s also the second Earl he sent. 1961 Topps #152 Earl Torgeson Clifford Earl Torgeson spent 15 seasons in the Major Leagues, starting his career in 1947 for the Boston Braves. He finished it out […]
Todays Card of the Moment is brought to you by the color red. And the color yellow. And the number 69. And also Mark from Marks Ephemera. I did a trade post about some cards Mark sent me a while ago and mentioned that he also sent a few cards that I wasn’t showing because […]
Todays Card of the Moment is brought to you by circles. And the color red. And the letters J and W. 1959 Topps #246 J.W. Porter J.W. (or Jay) Porter spent parts of 6 seasons in the Majors, playing for the St. Louis Browns, the Detroit Tigers, the Cleveland Indians, the Washington Senators and the […]
I’m by no means the worlds biggest hockey fan, but I am surrounded by some pretty rabid New Jersey Devils fans. My Dad, both my brothers and my bother-in-law are all insanely passionate Devils fans. If you follow hockey at all, you’ll know that right now, they’re all on the verge of having heart attacks. […]

I’ve got a busy day today. Last week was my sons 2nd birthday, but today is his big party. A pizza party, in fact. But before I run off to get drunk at a 2 year old’s birthday party, here’s a card. 1954 Topps #6 Pete Runnels Here’s a 1954 Topps card of Pete Runnels, […]
1966 Topps #2 Ted Abernathy I don’t think I’ve ever had any desire to collect the 1966 Topps set. To me, it’s got to be one of the most boring sets of the 60’s. It certainly doesn’t have the distinct wood paneling of the ’62 set or the burlap background of the ’69 set. It […]
There’s a decidedly spring-like feel in the air ’round these parts today. I realize the utter ridiculousness of that statement given that it’s not even halfway through February and there’s still several feet of icy, dirty snow on the ground. Still, football is officially done, we haven’t had any snow to speak of in well […]
1967 Topps #39 Curt Simmons I always love getting a card where upon receiving it, I say “Hmm. Great. Another boring looking common,” but after doing 30 seconds of digging around on the interwebatory database, I get all excited to have that particular card. I must admit however, although I wasn’t incredibly excited by this […]
Todays Card of the Moment comes to us courtesy of Sportlots. I got this sucker a while back while trolling through the virtual quarter bin, as is my wont. I had actually gotten 6 or 7 cards from the same set, in similar condition, all for the low bargin price of 75ยข. 1954 Topps #46 […]
