Managerial Ephemera, or Ephemeral Managers?
September 24th, 2012 by slangon

This post has been sitting in my To Do list for quite a while, and for that I apologize to all parties involved. A while back, Mark, from Mark’s Ephemera, had sent me an email explaining that he was a bit embarrassed to say that it’s taken so long for him to get some cards […]

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 […]

The Vengeance of the 25¢ Bin
May 2nd, 2011 by slangon

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 […]

The Valley of the 6 for 5 Bin
March 25th, 2010 by slangon

Here we go again. 1983 Topps Traded #101T Tom Seaver I wish I was a little older and more aware of things in 1983. I’m sure it was a joyous day in Metsville when they welcomed The Franchise back into the fold. I just don’t remember. I’m sure my Dad was psyched. I was actually […]

And In This Corner…
September 1st, 2009 by slangon

Lots of things in the works, nothing ready to post. Isn’t that always the way? I got a bunch of trades and eBay scores I need to get scanned and posted, as well as the first couple of Heroes of the Diamond cards. But since I have other things kicking my arse right now, I […]
