I don’t know what it’s like where you live, but at the moment I’m sitting under roughly a foot of snow. That’s a slightly annoying amount, but after the way everyone around here and in the media was freaking out over the last few days, it seems like a coating. Anyway, what better way to […]

Shhh. Do you hear that? It’s the sound of a minor league third baseman weeping gently into his pillow. He’s not going anywhere. Looks like this card could be a reality.

So apparently the Florida Miami Marlins have finished shipping off anyone that was making any money on that team. Now Jose Reyes is a member of the Toronto Blue Jays. Oddly enough, this turn of events actually makes me pretty happy. I feel like now I can go back to rooting for Jose. When he […]

We’ve already looked at the managers, catchers, Opening Day starting pitchers, first basemen and second basemen. We’ve also gone through the players the Mets have sent to the All-Star Game every […]

So far, halfway through the 2012 season, I don’t think that anyone in their right minds could possible complain at where the Mets find themselves. After everyone expecting the Mets to be the rug of the N.L. East, and after a horribly dismal Spring Training, the team finds themselves with a 46-40 record and are […]

One of the greatest things about this here card collecting hobby and, by extension, blogging about my take on this hobby is the chance to interact with others who love cards as much as I do. I don’t know about you, but in my everyday life, I’m not around a whole lot of people who […]
