This is the first part of another successful haul from Sportlots. The second portion was coming from a separate seller, and has yet to arrive here at SlangKo World Headquarters. That particular group of cards will be dealt with at a later date. This group of cards, which will be dealt with right here and [...]
Back around the holidays I had made my first checkoutmycards.com purchase. Shortly after that, I tried my luck with sportlots.com. Then I wrote a post comparing and contrasting the two experiences. My initial verdict was that Check Out My Cards seemed a bit more suited to scoring relics and refractors and autographs and fancy cards [...]
I think it’s relatively safe to say that everyone out there reading this is a baseball fan in some capacity. I don’t know if it’s as safe to say that everyone out there is a cable TV subscriber. I think it’s even more unwise to assume that everyone out there has access to the MLB [...]
A while ago, Cards on Cards held a little College Bowl Pick ‘Em contest. I had the dubious distinction of being the worst out of everyone when it came to picking the winners of College Bowl games. Madding was good enough to send some prizes my way as a way of enabling my poor football [...]
And three more. 2009 SlangKo Sport Stars #192 Richard Petty Who would’ve thought that this is actually the second time that Richard Petty has popped up on this blog. First off, I’m not really a NASCAR guy. I like cars and I like cars that go fast, I just don’t so much like cards that [...]
As some you you may recall, a while back, I was lucky enough to be appointed caretaker of an original T206 Cy Seymour card. The one stipulation was that after a month, I had to send Cy on to some other lucky person for a month long visit. Well, that time is fast approaching, so [...]
In all this flurry of vintage cards, there’s been a steady stream of TTM requests coming back as well. Unfortunately, they’ve been getting pushed to the back burner. Let’s try and remedy that situation, shall we? 2009 SlangKo Heroes of the Diamond Bill Denehy There’s not really too much to say about Bill Denehy’s baseball [...]
When I first started getting back into collecting, I was very unfocused. I knew I enjoyed collecting baseball cards and I knew I liked the Mets. For a while, my collecting “strategy” involved just buying whatever cards I could lay my hands in, in the greatest quantity possible, for as cheap as possible. I bought [...]
I did not decide that it was the Year of Vintage. It is apparently just fated that way. Yesterday, after I had gotten done mentioning that I was declaring this The Year of Vintage, I had to run out a do a couple of errands. I was heading over by the local Target, so I [...]
I think I’ve officially declared 2010 “The Year of Vintage”. Sort of without thinking about it, 95% of the cards that I’ve acquired in this young year have been of the vintage variety. I didn’t set out for that to happen, but that’s the way things have been falling into place. That is fine with [...]
