1970 Topps Scratch-Offs Tom Seaver This is another of the awesome cards that I got in a trade with Chris from Project ’62. It’s a Topps Baseball Scratch-Off from 1970. Insert cards are still really prevalent in card releases now-a-days, but it seems like they’re much more of the small-sub-set-with-a-common-theme-but-just-still-a-regular-old-card-nonetheless variety. In this years Topps [...]
A while back, I had posted about a TTM success that I recently got back from former Red Sox pitcher and current wack-o Bill “The Spaceman” Lee. Chris from Project ’62 had contacted me about getting a copy of the Bill Lee card for his Bill Lee player collection that he started last year. Now, [...]
The Mets have been having themselves quite a nice little homestand these past few days, winning 4 out 5 against the 2 participants of last years World Series. It seems like their offense has finally been clicking, perhaps thanks to Jose Reyes finally finding himself at the plate. There’s been very few wasted outs, too. [...]
What do you do when you root for a team that starts the season horribly, sitting in the basement for a few weeks, then goes on a 9-1 tear, propelling themselves into first place over the course of a week and a half and then tanks it, free-falling back into the basement 2 weeks later? [...]
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 [...]
I’m still trying to get through the initial batch of cards that I got from the 6 for $5 vintage bin at my local card shop. Here we go for another “pack”. 1973 Topps #84 Rollie Fingers This may not be Rollie Fingers’ rookie card, but it is Rollie Fingers’ Mustaches rookie card. The rookie [...]
Well, Super Bowl is upon us. Today we will not only find out who the best team in the NFL is, but we’ll find out where Cy Seymour is going to spend the next month. But in the meantime, we got some baseball cards to post. Here’s “Pack 3″ from the 6-for-5 bin. 1979 Topps [...]
Back around the holidays I had made my first checkoutmycards.com purchase. Shortly after that, I tried my luck with sportlots.com. Then I wrote a post comparing and contrasting the two experiences. My initial verdict was that Check Out My Cards seemed a bit more suited to scoring relics and refractors and autographs and fancy cards [...]
I don’t know how the weather is wherever you are right now, but in New York is is crappy with a capital CRAP. Rainy, cold, grey, yuck. This has planted a seed of laziness in me that is thriving, so I haven’t gone forward with the Heroes of the Diamond, or gotten around to scanning [...]
Well, I guess this really isn’t a trade since I didn’t give anything up for them, but they’re a bunch of cards that found their way into my hands. And they came from my Dad of all people. My parents came to visit the other day and my Dad just hands me this stack of [...]
