Later on tonight, I will be doing something that I haven’t done in a crow’s age. I will be sitting on a couch, drinking a beer and watching LIVE METS BASEBALL!!! Granted, it’s spring training baseball and granted I won’t be home until about a half an hour after the game starts so most likely […]

I know I said I was only going to show my 5 favorite cards from the swag that I landed in my best my best month ever as a collector, but there was a massive write in campaign from my readers that caused me to reverse directions. Well, 2 people left comments saying I should […]

Well, I guess you can’t win them all. The Yankees beat the Mets 7-3 thanks to 4 Yankees homers hit to the Little League-sized right field of Yankee Stadium. Of course, the Mets were playing in that same Little League-sized Stadium, so there’s no complaints from me. I’m just saying. Hopefully the Amazin’s can take […]

It seems that my new modus operandi when it comes to buying cards is finding specific cards that I want / need for one of my various want lists, be it on eBay or Sportlots. Then look over whatever seller’s other inventory for other cards I need, or cards that I don’t necessarily need, but […]

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 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 […]

It seems that Check Out My Cards has spread like wild fire amongst the blogging community as of late. As I mentioned in the post I wrote about my initial experience with it, I had been using the site as a research tool for quite a while, but only now had actually bought anything off […]
