I don’t know what it’s like where you live, but at the moment I’m sitting under roughly a foot of snow. That’s a slightly annoying amount, but after the way everyone around here and in the media was freaking out over the last few days, it seems like a coating. Anyway, what better way to […]

I almost wasn’t going to make this post, just because one or two other people throughout the interwebs have already beat me to the punch, but f’ that noise. I’ve been chomping at the bit to show this awesome Ron Santo card that Reader Jim sent to me along with a pile of 1960 Topps […]

On we roll with my blasters worth of (mostly) vintage. The more I think about this, I wonder why Topps doesn’t actually do something like this. I mean, considering that they started the Million Card Giveaway last year and kept it up with this years Diamond Giveaway, they apparently have no problem obtaining a stock […]

Another trip to the 25¢ bin, and another $3.00 in the pocket of the local card shop guy. As usual, I’m pretty satisfied with that trade off. One thing I did do differently during this particular trip is that I started in the middle of the box. Normally, when I search through the box, I […]

I’m by no means a Cub fan, but this news truly bummed me out. Ron struck me as a great player who’s had his share of tough breaks but who always seemed to be flashing the same smile as he is on this ’69 All-Star card. I can also really appreciate what a die-hard Cub […]

When I declared 2010 to be “The Year of Vintage”, apparently, I wasn’t kidding. Here’s a smorgasbord of manager and coaches cards that I picked up. The more my vintage collection grows, it’s fun to notice that a lot of those guys I actually have cards from their playing days. I know I have Galen […]

I did not decide that it was the Year of Vintage. It is apparently just fated that way. Yesterday, after I had gotten done mentioning that I was declaring this The Year of Vintage, I had to run out a do a couple of errands. I was heading over by the local Target, so I […]
