As bad as 2009 was for Mets fans, it seems like 2010 was even worse. I don’t know why I say that. The numbers are pretty comparable but I just seem to remember being way more miserable in 2010. They did manage to send 2 franchise favorites to the Mid-Summer Classic that year. Hmmm… Did […]

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. Being a graphic designer who deals with fonts all […]

We’ve already knocked out half of the packs in this box and we’re sitting at 70 points. I’ve not been too happy thus far, but we still have 2 hits (hopefully) and the box topper left to go, so maybe this box won’t be as bad as I’ve been expecting. Let’s get to it. Pack […]

Here we go with round 2. The one problem with this round was that I realized that there were 9 Mickey Mantle Packs, 9 Ty Cobb packs, only 8 Babe Ruths and 10 Dustin Pedroias. Therefore, if I want to stick to my plan of 9 rounds of Cobb vs. Ruth vs. Mantle vs. Pedroia, […]

So I’ve finally been able to track down some 2010 Topps. I had been trying to get it from Target, just because one of the cooler things I’ve seen from this release so far has been the Red Back inserts, which are exclusive to Target. For whatever reason, the local Target has not gotten 2010 […]

Things have been quite busy here at SlangKo Corporate HQ in preparation for spring training. I’ve decided to dispatch a gaggle of customs to Port St. Lucie in an attempt to get me some Metsie autos. Of course when I ran through the list of players, I came up with 26 dudes I wanted to […]

On we go. Pack 5 – #55 Johnny Damon Geez. These cards are so old, Johnny Damon had short hair and no beard. #47 Vernon Wells #25 Shawn Green Damn this dude looks a lot younger here than I remember him looking when he was on the Mets. I guess being on the Mets adds […]
