1988 Topps Football #396 Checklist 265-396 The Card of the Moment is a checklist?!? WHAAAA?!?! Let me ‘splain. Right around this time last year, sometime between Thanksgiving and Christmas, I was visiting my parents and decided to take a look around the basement and my old room to see if there were any cards that […]
I wrote about my 2 guaranteed hits for $20 experience. I ended up going back to Target to see if they had any more of the discount 08 Upper Deck blasters, which they didn’t. They did, however, have a blaster of 2008 Upper Deck Football Heroes, which for some reason was only $6.49. It piqued […]
Hey, kids. Don’t forget about old Johnny Lattner. He’s sitting on my desk, a’waitin’ for you to sign up and win him. Just to recap the rules, leaving a comment to this post will get you one entry. If you have a blog, and you link to this post, you will get a second entry. […]
Since pretty much all my TTM requests lately have been SlangKo Originals, one thing that I’ve started to do is enclose an extra copy of the card and let the person know that it’s a custom jobbie and if they would like to keep a copy for themselves they’re welcome to it. I’m realizing though […]
Last week, I had to run down to the local Target for some errands and having a $20 burning a hole in my pocket, I figured I would grab a blaster while I was there. I was thinking maybe Topps Magic, Goodwin Champions or 206, if they had any. When I finished up all my […]
A while back, Mr. Dayf of Cardboard Junkie notoriety wrote a series of posts lamenting the loss of Topps football cards. Actually, the posts didn’t so much lament the death of Topps football as much as they celebrated past Topps football releases. They were extremely informative and well written posts and I highly suggest you […]
2008 Leaf Certified Materials #231 Mario Manningham JSY RC 516/599 Another Mario Manningham Rookie Relic for the collection, this one being an oversized swatch. This is actually the first oversized swatch in my collection. Honestly, I thought I would be a lot more excited because of that, but I don’t think it’s any cooler than […]
2009 Philadelphia Football Rack Pack vs. 2009 Mayo Football Rack Pack From the outset, Philly had a bit of an advantage due to the fact that it had 20 cards, as compared to Mayo’s 12 cards. We’ll see how that worked out for them. First up, the Philadelphia Football. #87 Dwight Freeney #78 Matt Schaub […]
2009 SlangKo Sport Stars #160 Mike Ditka This was a new custom set that I’ve been quietly working on recently. It pretty much came about when I decided I wanted to send out some non-baseball custom cards for autographs. All the baseball TTM requests I’d been sending out were based off of the Heroes of […]
So that was a squeaker on Sunday. That was the kind of win that almost makes me feel worse that if they had lost. Luckily, being a Mets fan, I’m used to wins (and losses) that make me feel bad like that so it just rolls off my back. Now we move onto Denver. We’ll […]
