A few weeks ago, I ended up snatching up a bunch of cheap-o rookie cards of guys who have been pretty damn good over the last couple of decades. Some of the guys whose cards I got are pretty much sure-fire Hall of Famers, once they become eligible. Others probably won’t get into the Hall […]

During yesterday’s extra-inning, rain delayed game against the Marlins, Jose Reyes went 3 for 6 with a walk to propel himself back into the top spot in the National League in batting average over Ryan Braun. The day before, Jose had actually dropped into second place by 3 points, but thanks to his 3 hits […]

These are the remaining Mets that I got in my big June haul. Once again, these were really the meat of the cards and mostly had to do with why I’m considering June such a good month, card-wise. We start of with an O-G Met, and a semi-high number at that. 1962 Topps #497 Ed […]

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 […]

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 […]

Before we get into it, I just want to acknowledge the Mets awesome play over the last week or so. They actually set a new club record for most runs scored over the course of a 4 game span. I personally didn’t really know that such a record existed, but they broke it alright. The […]

I don’t know what was more shocking, hearing the news that after 10 years they finally tracked down and killed Osama Bin Laden or that the Mets were somehow able to avoid the sweep at the hand of Cliff Lee and the Phillies. Here’s some more quarter cards. It’s a veritable smorgasbord of 1970’s cardboard […]

This journey is becoming quite the Odyssey. To recap, I spent about what I would’ve on a blaster at Sportlots. I’ve been showcasing what I got. We’re on the home stretch. First, a card from the set that is being ripped off paid homage to in this year’s Heritage set. I guess this years Heritage […]

So a while back, I had spent a couple of bucks at Sportlots on various vintage cards. I ended up spending about what I would’ve dropped on a modern blaster box and in my opinion, got much cooler stuff. I’ve already gone through some new cards, some other newish cards and some older cards. Now […]

I always overlook the fact that even though Spring Training is officially upon us, there’s really nothing exciting about a bunch of dudes having bullpen sessions and doing calisthenics. Oh well. At least it’s inspiring to know that someone, somewhere is doing something baseball related. Until the games start, here’s some cards. As you may […]
