So the Mets just finished up a 6 game road trip during which they played .500 baseball. I’m fine with that since most baseball people seem to think that if you have a winning record at home and can play .500 ball on the road, you should be fine. What I don’t like is the […]

I’ve had these, uh, cards, I guess, in my possession for quite a while. Probably slightly longer than when I got back into collecting a couple of years back. My mother-in-law had given them to me for Christmas. She has long been a keen supporter of my love of the Mets and it was more […]

Geez. 50. That’s crazy. Does that make me really old that I clearly remember him as a fresh faced rookie? Happy birthday, non-the-less.

During yesterdays Mets win over the Padres, David Wright hit a 3 run homer in the 3rd inning for his 10th of the season. In the spirit of semi-interesting but ultimately trivial facts, during the broadcast, Ron Darling and Gary Cohen were talking about how this was the 8th time in Davids career that he’s […]

Opening Day is almost upon us, and I for one cannot wait. Whether the Mets are actually good this season, or stink it up (more likely), I’m just jazzed to start watching some live baseball that doesn’t involve guys wearing numbers like 93. This year also happens to be the 25th Anniversary of the 1986 […]

I can’t believe that the Mid-Summer Classic is upon us already. It seems crazy to me to think that it’s mid-way through the season (actually, it’s 88 games into the season, which is 54.32% though the season). I always hear people complain about the All-Star game, saying how it’s not fun to watch and it’s […]

First off, I just want to take this opportunity to wish a happy Father Day to all you Dad’s out there. To me there’s always a special connection between baseball and my Dad, so I think fathers hold a special place in the card collecting community. I’d especially like to wish a happy Fathers Day […]

Last week was a pretty good week for me trade-wise. I got three trade offers that ended up doing some pretty fierce damage to various wantlists of mine. Todays episode comes to us from reader Robert, who wasn’t ashamed to admit to being a fellow Mets fan. Rob sent me a box of Mets cards […]

A while ago, Cards on Cards held a little College Bowl Pick ‘Em contest. I had the dubious distinction of being the worst out of everyone when it came to picking the winners of College Bowl games. Madding was good enough to send some prizes my way as a way of enabling my poor football […]
