What better way to kick off the holiday weekend than to keep going with the stuff I got from Project ’62 for doing his custom relic card? Step into the time machine where we’ll zoom on back to 1977. Watch your arms. I’ve always loved the legend of Dock Ellis, even if this particular card […]

Three more days. The torture. The starting first baseman for the 1986 Mets, position #3 on your scorecard, my favorite all-time baseball player, Keith Hernandez. Not surprisingly, Mex had a lot to do with the Mets winning it all in 1986. Obviously, he had yet another stellar year defensively, winning his 8th consecutive Gold Glove. […]

Since I’ve already showed the very first card acquisition of the new year, I figure I probably should show the very last card acquisitions of last year. Hell, I probably should’ve showed it before I showed the new years new cards, but if I didn’t do things just because I should’ve done them before, I’d […]

Right now the Winter Meetings are going on in Orlando. So far, Sandy Alderson has made it pretty clear that the Mets will not be making any big impact moves this off-season and if they walk away from those meeting with anything, it will be either be a reclamation project, such as Chris Young or […]

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 […]

First off, I just want to take this opportunity to wish a happy Father Day to all you Dad’s out there. To me there’s always a special connection between baseball and my Dad, so I think fathers hold a special place in the card collecting community. I’d especially like to wish a happy Fathers Day […]

A while ago, Cards on Cards held a little College Bowl Pick ‘Em contest. I had the dubious distinction of being the worst out of everyone when it came to picking the winners of College Bowl games. Madding was good enough to send some prizes my way as a way of enabling my poor football […]

I think I’ve officially declared 2010 “The Year of Vintage”. Sort of without thinking about it, 95% of the cards that I’ve acquired in this young year have been of the vintage variety. I didn’t set out for that to happen, but that’s the way things have been falling into place. That is fine with […]

For Christmas, Wifey had gotten me a tin of 2009 Sweet Spot. Often times, when I break a box or blaster or whatever, I’ll search for similar breaks just to kind of compare my luck with that of others. When I searched for ’09 Sweet Spot tin, I came across Ed from Roll Out the […]
