Welp, we finally made it. We’re down to the best card that I got during the best month of collecting in my card collecting career. It’s been a long arduous journey, but we’re finally at the end. SO now, without further ado, here is Tarjeta Numero Uno. 1969 Topps #533 Nolan Ryan Yes folks. That’s […]
This is the last batch of non-Top 5 cards from my big June Haul. I promise. Aside from all the Mets goodies I got, I was also able to cross off a bunch of cards from my 1960 Topps checklist. Aside from Don and Roberto, I mean. Here they is. #16 Pete Runnells With the […]
So I made it back from vacation in one piece. I even made it to a Mets game in D.C. against the Nats. They even won. Of course, they haven’t won since then, so that’s not too cool. What was cool, though, was seeing them in the Nationals park. That was actually the first Mets […]

No, the people I bought these cards from weren’t super generous and threw in some free cards. They were more impulse buys on my part. Lemme ‘splain. I’ve noticed that I’ve developed a specific strategy when it comes to buying cards online. I tend to employ this strategy whether it be Sportlots or eBay (to […]
On we march, my intrepid friends. Today we have another card that has, until now proved to be too wily for me. So wily in fact, at time I almost felt as if it was taunting me, just daring me to try and capture it and encase it in protective vinyl. 1963 Topps #228 Rookie […]
I know I said I was only going to show my 5 favorite cards from the swag that I landed in my best my best month ever as a collector, but there was a massive write in campaign from my readers that caused me to reverse directions. Well, 2 people left comments saying I should […]
