So the other day I showed off a handful of 1960’s Topps cards that I needed for my set that I got off of Sportlots. Well, that wasn’t all that was in that there envelope. There was also a small pile of other, assorted, banged-up, vintage goodness. Let’s investigate, shall we. 1960 Fleer #33 Wilbert […]

Man, even though the Mets didn’t win yesterday, it felt damn good to sit down and drink a beer and watch baseball on TV. Of course it felt a little bit better since they didn’t technically lose, either. I know it’s an early spring training game and it doesn’t mean anything, but it was pretty […]

So after a marathon travel schedule of leaving Newark to head to Minneapolis, getting waylaid in Kansas City and finally ending up in Michigan, the Giants are slated to finally play the Vikings tonight in Detroit. I’m sure most people have seen the footage of the Metrodome collapse ad nauseam, but here it is one […]

Giants are playing a possibly Favre-less Vikings team today in Minnesota. It would probably be a bit better for the Giants if Favre is indeed out for the week as he’s gone 5-2 against them in his career, but I’ve never been one to think of heading into games in those terms. I’d almost rather […]
