Happy Beer Drinking Day!
March 17th, 2013 by slangon

Despite my apparent sabbatical from the blog recently, I couldn’t miss the 4th Annual Condition: Poor St. Patricks Day Parade of Cards, once again led by the Grand Marshal, the Mets’ own “Irish Hammer” Daniel Murphy. So without further ado, let’s get to the wearin’ o’ the green. Grand Marshall Murphy, lead the way.

Smell You Later, Larry. Smell You Later Forever.

As most people know by now, Chipper Jones has announced his impending retirement from baseball after the end of the 2012 season. As most people also know, Chipper Jones has brutally abused the Mets over the course of his career. Over the course of 19 seasons, Larry has faced the Mets in 239 games, and […]

If you haven’t heard, apparently David Wright has been playing for about the past month or so with a broken back. An MRI revealed a stress fracture in his lower back that was thought to have happened during a game against the Astros on April 19. Wright figured he did it when he dove to […]

Go Rangers! Gums.

One Man’s Treasure…

I don’t have a huge collection of Autographs and Game Used cards. What I do have, I like, even when I don’t like it. Recently, though, I’ve been thinking. Do I really like these particular cards, or do I just like them because they’re autographed or game used? I suspect the latter. Wouldn’t I be […]

Card of the Moment #9
November 19th, 2009 by slangon

A really, really, really long time ago, I had bought this weird re-pack thing from Target, which I kept meaning to write up a little thing about. I even got as far as starting to scan and upload some cards. I’m sure everyone who has tried their hand at keeping up a blog knows the […]
