My apologies to Nachos Grande for not getting this stuff up sooner. Anyway, a while back he and I worked out one of those trades that doesn’t necessarily make for sexy blogging, but is what collections are built upon. No big hits here. No autographed, serial numberd, triple relic rookie cards of Hall of Famers. [...]
Now that I’m a pretend Baseball card mougel… I wonder where that left field wall ended up after they tore Shea down?
Thinking About Design So the checklist is not final, but it’s being worked on. I’ve contacted a few folks to get their input as to who from their team they would pick using my 2 man criteria. I’ve heard back from a few, still waiting on others. In the meantime, since I’ve already made up [...]
Sigh…
So here’s the second half of the 1971 Topps Mets haul. Cool action shot, but I must say, possibly not the best choice of cropping. Which one is Bud Harrelson?

Last one. Go. Pack #5: 2009 Topps Series 2 #397 Carlos Ruiz #353 Derek Jeter – I’ll admit it. I sort of hate Jeter. Mostly because he’s so good, and not a Met. #527 Jason Isringhausen – Once park of “Generation K”. I guess just goes to prove, snappy nicknames do not make good ballplayers. [...]
This one is from Coolio Cards. Check it.
The last few days, I’ve had autographs on the brain. I recently decided I wanted to try my luck with a through the mail autograph. I won’t say who it is, since I want to write about it when it hopefully is a success. Literally right after I tracked down the address for said mystery [...]
1975 Topps Keith Hernandez Rookie I’ve wanted this card for as long as I can remember. I mean going back to when I as 10 years old. I’ve wanted this card more than twice as long as I haven’t wanted it, if that makes any sense. For as long as I’ve liked baseball, Keith Hernandez [...]
