1964 Topps #27 Mets Team Card I feel like I say this all the time, but some of my favorite cards to collect, along with managers cards, are team cards. I’m not 100% clear on why it is that I love them so much, but I do. Maybe it’s the camaraderie. Maybe it’s the school [...]
Is it too early to name Cliff Lee the World Series MVP? Just askin’.
One of the reoccurring features on this blog so far is me writing about cards that I would love to someday own. Usually, however, they’re more like pipe dreams. They’re usually cards that are either so rare or so expensive that unless I end up winning the lottery or some rich uncle I didn’t know [...]
So the ALCS and NLCS are distant memories. The Phightin’ Phils will be facing the Bronx Bombers in what hacky sportswriters are already dubbing “The Turnpike Series”. As a lifelong Jersey resident, I’m not sure how I feel about being dragged into this, especially when you consider how much I dislike both teams, but what [...]

After 56 years on this earth and almost 20 years out of baseball, Mex has managed to retain his hold on my heart. Happy Birthday to you, sir. (By the way, you might be seeing this card pop up on this blog again sometime in the near future.)
Opening up my mailbox last Friday what did I espy? Not one, but two envelopes addressed to me in my own handwriting. 2009 SlangKo Custom Monte Irvine Of course Mr. Irvin had a long and successful career playing for the New York Giants and the Chicago Cubs, but I decided to represent his years playing [...]
I’m really enjoying this getting some football cards to bust along with watching a football game thing. I guess when it’s only 16 games, it’s do-able. Although I’m sure I end up opening 162 packs of cars over the course of the baseball season. I wonder. Anyway, I went and got a blaster of 09 [...]
