Man, time is getting short. The Mets have 9 games to go and I’ve got 3 positions left to do. Fingers, don’t fail me now. In honor of the 50th Anniversary of the New York Mets, I’ve been looking at the primary players at each position throughout the teams history. We’ve already looked at the […]

Games that start after 10 o’clock? Games that end around 1 in the morning? Ugh. Fortunately, the Mets were able to hang on by their toenails last night against the Dodgers and win it 3-2. Of course since it was a close one, I wasn’t able to go to sleep until that last out was […]

Here’s some more cards that Chris from Project ’62 sent my way in exchange for doing a custom relic card for him. We’re getting into junk wax territory now, so tread lightly. The majority of what he sent me from this period were from different Topps Traded sets. As a matter of fact, he single […]

One of the many things I enjoy thinking about when looking at my baseball cards (Yes, I do often look at them. I don’t just file them away into books and boxes and let them collect dust and appreciate in value.) is trying to picture what the player on the card thinks when they see […]

Or as my mom calls it, St. Paddy’s Day. In honor of all the boisterous teens who were cutting school in order to go to the NYC St. Patrick’s Day Parade that were on my train this morning, preventing me from reading my newspaper in peace, and the drunken fools who will inevitably be on […]

When I got back into collecting a year or two ago, a lot of it had to do with digging up my old Trapper Keeper® full of cards that I had from when I was a kid. That basically became the foundation of my collection and has grown exponentially from there. Some of the cards […]
