Just a quickie today. These are a couple of cards I recently snagged from eBay. First up is a Hammerin’ Hank All-Star that has seen better days. At least whoever owned this previously had the respect to not put tape all the way across Henry’s face. The back of this card is a bit more […]
As much as I would love to continue posting about how awesome the cards that Chris sent me for doing that custom card 7,000,000 years ago, I need to finish this out. So here’s the final push, and it should be no great surprise that I saved the best for last. 1957 Topps #39 Al […]
No, not that Milton Bradley. This one. I recently scored a lot of 1969 Milton Bradley baseball cards. For those unfamiliar with these, according to the old Standard Card Catalog: The first of three sets issued by Milton Bradley over a four year period, these cards measure 2″x3″ and have a white border surrounding a […]
… my collection gave to me Three 58’s, Two vintage pugs, And a Red from Cincinnati!
It seems that my new modus operandi when it comes to buying cards is finding specific cards that I want / need for one of my various want lists, be it on eBay or Sportlots. Then look over whatever seller’s other inventory for other cards I need, or cards that I don’t necessarily need, but […]

Here we go with “Pack 2”. 1974 Topps #2 Hank Aaron Special 1954-1957 This is the first of the Hank Aaron Specials that Topps put out in ’74, to commemorate his breaking of Babe Ruth’s career home run record. There was a total of 5 of them, each depicting 4 of his Topps cards through […]
More and more around the interwebs we’ve been seeing the first crop of 2010 Topps popping up. To be honest, despite my proclamations that 2010 is The Year of Vintage, seeing all those new cards has given me an awful itch to crack some packs. Nothing big deal, mind you. Just a couple of packs […]
I did not decide that it was the Year of Vintage. It is apparently just fated that way. Yesterday, after I had gotten done mentioning that I was declaring this The Year of Vintage, I had to run out a do a couple of errands. I was heading over by the local Target, so I […]
