Card of the Moment #66
April 15th, 2011 by slangon

Todays Card of the Moment is brought to you by the color red. And the color yellow. And the number 69. And also Mark from Marks Ephemera. I did a trade post about some cards Mark sent me a while ago and mentioned that he also sent a few cards that I wasn’t showing because […]

Veterans Day is upon us, so it is once again time to pay homage to the men (and women) who have served our country.

More from the Virtual Quarter Bin
October 9th, 2010 by slangon

A few posts ago I had mentioned that I had picked up some cards in the electronic version of the quarter bin. I happened to be buying some cards I needed for my 1960 set off of this one dude on Sportlots and noticed that he had a bunch of cards listed at $0.30 and […]

Card of the Moment #49

1961 Topps #24 Ken Johnson Today’s Card of the Moment comes from one of my least favorite vintage Topps sets. I don’t really know what exactly it is that I don’t like about it. It actually isn’t a terrible looking design. In fact, the bright colors and crisp lines of the bottom bar is actually […]

Card of the Moment #48

1961 Topps #351 Jim King Today’s Card of the Moment is about 95% of a 1961 Topps Jim King card. Jim spent 11 years playing Major League baseball with 6 different teams. The majority of that time was spent in the nations capital, but he also made stops in Chicago (both the North Side and […]

Card of the Moment #39
July 22nd, 2010 by slangon

I haven’t done a Card of the Moment in quite a spell it seems. I guess all of my moments have been taken up by the on going Gint-A-Cuffs shenanigans. Well, we’ll fix that. I’ll just dip into that awesome pile of beat up vintage that sent my way via Chris from Project ’62. 1961 […]

A Truly Condition: Poor Trade with Project 62
June 8th, 2010 by slangon

A while back, I had posted about a TTM success that I recently got back from former Red Sox pitcher and current wack-o Bill “The Spaceman” Lee. Chris from Project ’62 had contacted me about getting a copy of the Bill Lee card for his Bill Lee player collection that he started last year. Now, […]

Happy Decoration Day, Everybody.
May 31st, 2010 by slangon

I know Memorial Day is supposed to honor the memory of those who died in service to their country, but how’s about we also give a hearty thanks to those who didn’t die. Here’s to you folks. Summer is unofficially here.

Some More Sportlots
February 15th, 2010 by slangon

Since Topps is apparently taking its sweet-ass time activating the Million Card Giveaway, I thought I’d showcase some old cards that I got recently from Sportlots. Dollars to donuts they’re probably much cooler than anything I’m going to get from that giveaway anyways. I ended up with 39 cards for around $20 with shipping. Not […]

The 6-for-5 Bin Strikes Back
February 10th, 2010 by slangon

I know my part of Jersey hasn’t seen as much snow as some of our neighbors to the south, but my back is still a-barkin’ from shoveling on Saturday and now we’re expecting to get another 12-18″. What do you do when it seems like Mother Nature has it out for you? Write about some […]
