July 24th, 2011 by slangon

Today we’ll take a look at a couple of cards that I got to chip away at my manager and team cards collection. 1980 Topps #302 Dodgers / Tommy Lasorda I had never really realized this before, but I’m pretty sure that this is my first Tommy Lasorda card. I find that pretty amazing just […]

I’m not sure if this is true or not, but I’m under the impression that most people, when they’re trying to complete a set, will initially figure out how many 9 pocket pages it will take to house that set, throw that many pages in a binder, and fill in the pages with the cards […]

June 17th, 2011 by slangon

Tonight begins another round of the always exciting inter-league play. The Mats are facing off against the Los Angeles Angels of Anehiem, California.
