I don’t know how the weather is wherever you are right now, but in New York is is crappy with a capital CRAP. Rainy, cold, grey, yuck. This has planted a seed of laziness in me that is thriving, so I haven’t gone forward with the Heroes of the Diamond, or gotten around to scanning [...]
2009 SlangKo Sport Stars #160 Mike Ditka This was a new custom set that I’ve been quietly working on recently. It pretty much came about when I decided I wanted to send out some non-baseball custom cards for autographs. All the baseball TTM requests I’d been sending out were based off of the Heroes of [...]
On we go. Pack 5 – #55 Johnny Damon Geez. These cards are so old, Johnny Damon had short hair and no beard. #47 Vernon Wells #25 Shawn Green Damn this dude looks a lot younger here than I remember him looking when he was on the Mets. I guess being on the Mets adds [...]
Now we’re getting to the good stuff – the cards. Pack 1 – #24 Luis Gonzalez #41 Manny Ramirez Whaaaat? Who the hell is this guy on Manny Ramirez’ card? Security! Seriously folks, in my mind 2003 is not that long ago, but looking at these cards, I feel like it’s 20 years ago. I [...]
So that was a squeaker on Sunday. That was the kind of win that almost makes me feel worse that if they had lost. Luckily, being a Mets fan, I’m used to wins (and losses) that make me feel bad like that so it just rolls off my back. Now we move onto Denver. We’ll [...]
So like I said, I’m excited about this box break so I’m going to try and drag it out for a bit. I haven’t busted anything yet. I’m going to start out with the packaging. It’s a pretty great box, first off. A retro set based on an old-time tobacco product, so they boxed it [...]
I had been keeping my eye on this particular item for a couple of days and was lucky enough to snipe some fool in the last 30 seconds or so and win myself this: Yes folks. That is a factory sealed hobby box of 2003 Topps 205, acquired cheaply, I might add. I had picked [...]
The second batch is ready for your perusal. #6 Jack Cust, Oakland Athletics I really love this shot of Jack. Who doesn’t love when players give the ump that look? Say Whaaaaa? #7 Ryan Howard, Philadelphia Phillies As a Mets fan, I really hate the Phillies. There’s a bunch of dudes on that team that [...]
The Giants had a bye last week, so I did not bust anything. Rather I posted the neat-o Mark Sanchez autograph I got through the mail. This week the Giants are going to try and get back on track, so I have bought another Topps Magic Football blaster, which I will once again split up [...]
Well, I guess this really isn’t a trade since I didn’t give anything up for them, but they’re a bunch of cards that found their way into my hands. And they came from my Dad of all people. My parents came to visit the other day and my Dad just hands me this stack of [...]
