Once upon a time, long ago, The Night Owl held a fun little contest where he cobbled together a ransom note-style message made up of different letters from various card fronts and your job was to match the letters with the card it was pulled from.

Turns out this last day of the season is so chock full of craziness, I almost don’t care that Mets are going out on a sour note and will end up with a losing record for the third year in a row. In case you missed it, one of the guys on this card went […]

A while back, sometime before Christmas, everyone’s favorite Braves fan, dayf over at Cardboard Junkie, had posted about a bunch of cards he rescued from the quarter box at his local card shop. I took a shine to one of those cards and inquired as to the availability of it. He was game, so I […]

Right now the Winter Meetings are going on in Orlando. So far, Sandy Alderson has made it pretty clear that the Mets will not be making any big impact moves this off-season and if they walk away from those meeting with anything, it will be either be a reclamation project, such as Chris Young or […]

Now that the World Series is over and nobody east of the Rockies cares about the Giants unless they’re playing football, it’s time for baseball obsessed folk like myself to start looking at the off-season moves made by their favorite teams. I’m not too sure how much moving and grooving other teams have done so […]

Now that I’m a full-blown Texas Rangers fan (until they either win the World Series or get knocked out of the playoffs) I thought I’d support the boys in the first game of the ALCS against the evil empire Yankees tonight by sharing some cards from my extensive Texas Rangers collection.

For Christmas, Wifey had gotten me a tin of 2009 Sweet Spot. Often times, when I break a box or blaster or whatever, I’ll search for similar breaks just to kind of compare my luck with that of others. When I searched for ’09 Sweet Spot tin, I came across Ed from Roll Out the […]
