In honor of the fact that today the Mets are playing like some of those early Mets teams, I present to you a quintet of 1964 Topps High #’s that I recently won off of eBay. It’s always nice to be able to cross off any high number from any of these older Topps sets […]
Like most collectors, whenever I cruise around eBay, it’s usually with some specific goal in mind. Personally as of late, my searches revolve around either the 1960 Topps set or older Mets cards. Often times in the course of executing those searches I stumble on cards that I would not have necessarily thought of tracking […]
One of the drawbacks to having won a month visit from Cy Seymour is that now I want one. I mean, I’ve always in the back of my head wanted an original T206 (as well as a T201, T202, T204, T205, etc.) but having held one in my hands and gotten to look at it […]
I think I’ve officially declared 2010 “The Year of Vintage”. Sort of without thinking about it, 95% of the cards that I’ve acquired in this young year have been of the vintage variety. I didn’t set out for that to happen, but that’s the way things have been falling into place. That is fine with […]
Man, I feel like I might need to change the name of this string of posts to something less Yuletidy, or else I might still be doing Christmas posts well into March. I still got them two boxes to post up along with my Check Out My Cards swag. On top of that a bunch […]
I picked up some pretty nice cards on eBay over the last week or two. What with the Blizzard of ’09 and general holiday nuttiness, I haven’t had a chance to post them until now. First up, we have a 2008 Goudey John Maine Jersey. Ahh, the good old days, last year, when I still […]
2009 Topps Triple Threads Autographed Relic Sepia Parallel #116 Daniel Murphy 08/75 This particular card is chock full of firsts. It’s my first Daniel Murphy relic. It’s my first Daniel Murphy autograph. It’s my first Mets autograph (certified that is). It’s my first autographed relic. Needless to say, there’s a lot for me to be […]
I had been keeping my eye on this particular item for a couple of days and was lucky enough to snipe some fool in the last 30 seconds or so and win myself this: Yes folks. That is a factory sealed hobby box of 2003 Topps 205, acquired cheaply, I might add. I had picked […]
So this is step 2 in trying to clear up the pile of things that have been sitting on my desk for the last few days. As I’ve mentioned before, I’ve been making a conscious effort to follow football this year, as a way to take my mind off of the debacle that was the […]
One of the reoccurring features on this blog so far is me writing about cards that I would love to someday own. Usually, however, they’re more like pipe dreams. They’re usually cards that are either so rare or so expensive that unless I end up winning the lottery or some rich uncle I didn’t know […]
