After a long cold winter, Opening Day is finally here. I know, I know. Opening Day was technically yesterday, but for whatever reason the scheduling gods decided that the Mets wouldn’t open until today. I’m actually a little confused as to what happened. I always remember the very first game of the season happening on […]

This journey is becoming quite the Odyssey. To recap, I spent about what I would’ve on a blaster at Sportlots. I’ve been showcasing what I got. We’re on the home stretch. First, a card from the set that is being ripped off paid homage to in this year’s Heritage set. I guess this years Heritage […]

Apparently I have much more success rooting for teams that I don’t really root for than I do rooting for my own team. Yesterday was another great day for those of us hoping to not see a replay of last years World Series. The Rangers continued to absolutely dominate the Yankees. 4 more homers in […]

Okay, so I finally got around to scanning that blaster of 2010 Topps Series 2 that the wife gave me for me birthday. I wanted to get this done quick so I could start in on busting that box of Ginter for Gint-A-Cuffs. It’s been laying around my house for a few days now, and […]

I was able to knock off a few more cards thanks to some low bid wins on eBay. First up is Joe Nuxhall. Joe Nuxhall had a pretty good, if unspectacular career in the Majors. He posted a lifetime 135-177 record with a 3.90 ERA and 1372 strikeouts over 16 seasons. He made the All-Star […]

This is the other half of the $20 I spent for 2 guaranteed hits. The 50% off blaster of 2008 Upper Deck Series 2, touting “One Game Used Memoribilia Card in Every Box! on average”. Let’s see what gems we plucked from this bad boy, shall we. A couple of ex-Metropolitans. Have I mentioned that […]

My apologies to Nachos Grande for not getting this stuff up sooner. Anyway, a while back he and I worked out one of those trades that doesn’t necessarily make for sexy blogging, but is what collections are built upon. No big hits here. No autographed, serial numberd, triple relic rookie cards of Hall of Famers. […]
