I made mention of this recently, but I’ve gotten a gaggle of cards off of eBay recently. I don’t know about you, but I’m realizing that I’m totally cyclical in my card collecting. Sometimes I go through stretches when all I’m doing is shopping on Sportlots. Sometimes all my cards seem to come from the […]
First off, I just want to remind everyone to go checkout the giveaway I’m doing to celebrate that this blog has turned a year old. Check it out. Okay, now onto the business at hand. I usually don’t seem to have too much luck pulling cool stuff from packs. Don’t get me wrong, I get […]
O.K. I admit it. Ever since I got that awesome haul of vintage cards from Chris over at Project ’62, I’ve been leaning on those Card of the Moment posts rather than writing about cards that I’ve obtained from other channels recently. That’s about to change right now. One of the challenges that I’ve found […]
I’d posted a few lots that I won a while back from the same seller on eBay over the last week. They were particularly fun for me because they were basically the equivalent of buying a pack of cards in both cost and the number of cards that I ended up with, but with the […]
This here is the second lot of vintage cards that I won my last go ’round on eBay. This equivalent of a pack of 1969 Topps cards ran me a staggering $1.51. Let’s see how we did. I was actually pretty excited about that Tommie Aaron card. He is, of course the younger brother of […]
I’ve been winning a bunch of eBay auctions lately and putting some pretty good dents in my Mets want lists in the process. The good thing is that many of the cards I’ve been scoring are some of the bigger stars from the different older team sets, so it’s been good to get them out […]
I’m not sure what the weather is like where you are, but here in New Jersey it’s one of those days that overcast, a little bit cool and looks like it could rain any second. Not very conducive to the yard work I was planning on doing this afternoon. So instead, I share with you […]
Way back in January, I declared that 2010 would be “The Year of Vintage” and I’ve pretty much stuck to that declaration full bore. Outside of completing the first series of 2010 Topps and a random pack here and there, every new card that’s appeared in my collection so far this year has been old. […]
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? […]
I don’t remember where I first saw them, but at some point in researching old baseball cards I had seen a few older Japanese baseball cards and I thought they were so incredibly cool looking. The ones I’m thinking of weren’t your standard baseball card fare, consisting of a photograph of a player in some […]
