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 […]

I snagged another mini-haul from good old Sportlots. This one started with one specific card that I had wanted for a spell that someone was selling for a nice price so I decided to jump on it. I couldn’t very well buy just one card though. That would make no sense. I saw a few […]

Since Topps is apparently taking its sweet-ass time activating the Million Card Giveaway, I thought I’d showcase some old cards that I got recently from Sportlots. Dollars to donuts they’re probably much cooler than anything I’m going to get from that giveaway anyways. I ended up with 39 cards for around $20 with shipping. Not […]

This one was directly inspired by The Card of the Moment #2. 1966 Topps #285 Luis Tiant I believe at some point I mentioned about the card shop I used to go to as a kid. Earth One, I think it was called. They used to have a few boxes of older cards that were […]

1982 Topps #160 Luis Tiant This card is by no means my favorite card. I like it, but do not love it. Why did I choose it for The Card of  the Moment, then? Because at the particular time when I was paging through my binders looking for a card to write about, I looked […]
