1964 Topps #370 Hal Woodeshick Today’s Card of the Moment is a very well loved 1964 Topps card of Hal Woodeshick. I’ve made mention in past posts that I always enjoy getting cards from teams that are no longer in existence. Yes, I’m well aware that the Houston Colt .45’s are actually still around, they […]

September 3rd, 2010 by slangon

So here’s the last of the pile of cards that I had gotten off of eBay over the last month or two. As promised, it is the oldest of the bunch, as well as being the oldest card in my entire collection. 1888 N2 Allen & Ginter Celebrated American Indian Chiefs Chief Striker When I […]

1962 Topps #206 Washington Senators Team Card As most folks who are familiar with this blog are aware of I have a certain affinity for team cards. I always seem to have a little difficulty expressing why that is however. Sometimes I think it might be the democracy of them. I mean, you have a […]

1963 Topps #40 Vic Power Have I mentioned that 1963 Topps is one of my favorite sets ever. Actually I’m pretty sure I have mentioned that. Actually, just because it’s a slow day at work and I’m apparently kind of crazy I went back and looked and saw that I mentioned that 1963 Topps is […]

May 6th, 2010 by slangon

I snagged this little beauty a while back off of eBay and I was pretty surprised to have gotten it. The final price with shipping was about 8 clams. I guess I shouldn’t be too surprised, considering the condition of the card. R-302-1 1943 M.P. & C0. #11 Jimmie Foxx This is defiantly one of […]

Random eBay Score
May 4th, 2010 by slangon

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 […]

April 27th, 2010 by slangon

Well, technically I’ve been back for 3 days now, but I had a spot of trouble getting out of vacation mode and back into posting mode. I was actually a little surprised about that. I generally try to post once a day, 6 times a week at the least. It’s never really a chore for […]

Card of the Moment #25
April 24th, 2010 by slangon

So depending on what time of the day you’re reading this, I will either be packing my stuff, sitting in the Tampa Airport (hopefully at the bar), somewhere 30,000 feet in the air or back at my house decompressing. Either way, this is the last of the pre-programmed posts. 1933 Goudey #9 Dave Harris I […]

April 3rd, 2010 by slangon

This is the finale in the 3 blockbuster trades I made over the last week or two that did extensive damage to various wantlists. Chris from Project ’62 had contacted me letting me know that he recently came across a box of beat up vintage cards and offered me some Mets from the box along […]
