Today I am finally going to put to rest the series of posts that I started on the swag that I scored from reader Michael in exchange for making him a custom 1938 Cubs card set. Funny how you get thrown off track by silly things like the World Series. I suppose todays episode really […]

A while back, I happened to be hanging out with my parents and my dad slipped me a couple of packs of unopened cards that he said he got at a comic shop, 3 packs for a buck. Now as soon as he told me what they cost I immediately had a suspicion of what […]

Tonight begins another round of the always exciting inter-league play. The Mats are facing off against the Los Angeles Angels of Anehiem, California.
