Sometimes I find it sort of humorous how, as a card collector, if I haven’t gotten any cards in a while, I get a jones for it. I mean like a real physical jones. A few weeks ago I had one of those jones’ and swung on over the local card shop to scratch that […]

On we roll with my blasters worth of (mostly) vintage. The more I think about this, I wonder why Topps doesn’t actually do something like this. I mean, considering that they started the Million Card Giveaway last year and kept it up with this years Diamond Giveaway, they apparently have no problem obtaining a stock […]

I guess it’s about time to stop dragging my feet and put an end to the Offical Condition: Poor First Anniversary Giveaway Contest. Here are the cards that I got from the Topps Million Card Giveaway. 1958 #117 Frank Torre Joe’s older brother. Great looking card. I’m digging that old-timey Braves logo. 1959 #409 Gus […]

I can’t believe that the Mid-Summer Classic is upon us already. It seems crazy to me to think that it’s mid-way through the season (actually, it’s 88 games into the season, which is 54.32% though the season). I always hear people complain about the All-Star game, saying how it’s not fun to watch and it’s […]

1968 Topps #165 Tony Oliva I’ve always sort of moaned and groaned about how I don’t like the 1968 Topps Base Set and all that. I must say however, as much as it might not be one of my favorites from all the vintage sets, I’d much rather look at it than some of the […]

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, […]

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.

Well, technically I’ve been back for 3 days now, but I had a spot of trouble getting out of vacation mode and back into posting mode. I was actually a little surprised about that. I generally try to post once a day, 6 times a week at the least. It’s never really a chore for […]

Still in Florida. Still not posting. I’m going to guess that the Mets still aren’t winning. A card for you to look at in the mean time. 1968 Topps #172 Walt Williams I’ve been toying with the idea of adding Walt Williams to my player collection list. Initially it was just because his nickname is […]

When I declared 2010 to be “The Year of Vintage”, apparently, I wasn’t kidding. Here’s a smorgasbord of manager and coaches cards that I picked up. The more my vintage collection grows, it’s fun to notice that a lot of those guys I actually have cards from their playing days. I know I have Galen […]
