Since Topps is apparently taking its sweet-ass time activating the Million Card Giveaway, I thought I’d showcase some old cards that I got recently from Sportlots. Dollars to donuts they’re probably much cooler than anything I’m going to get from that giveaway anyways. I ended up with 39 cards for around $20 with shipping. Not […]

This is the first part of another successful haul from Sportlots. The second portion was coming from a separate seller, and has yet to arrive here at SlangKo World Headquarters. That particular group of cards will be dealt with at a later date. This group of cards, which will be dealt with right here and […]

I’ve been trying to ignore it as long as I could, but it’s just gotten ridiculous. Pitchers and catchers haven’t even reported and the 2010 Mets have already turned into a circus. I’m sure by now everyone has heard how Carlos Beltran had gotten surgery to clean up his balky knee, which had cost him […]

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 […]

Part of my Christmas card haul included a little spree at Check Out My Cards. I had browsed through there on many occasions, and I often use it as a reference tool, both in researching cards and in making customs. This is the first time that I bought anything there, though. If you haven’t used […]

I picked up some pretty nice cards on eBay over the last week or two. What with the Blizzard of ’09 and general holiday nuttiness, I haven’t had a chance to post them until now. First up, we have a 2008 Goudey John Maine Jersey. Ahh, the good old days, last year, when I still […]

2009 SlangKo Heroes of the Diamond Jim Fregosi Of course, the man that was Nolan Ryan was traded for, along with 3 other players. A 6 time All-Star, all before coming to the Mets. Like a lot of guys the Mets pick up, he was really good with the Angels, not so much with the […]

2009 SlangKo Heroes of the Diamond Don Zimmer Being a Mets fan in such close proximity to New York is not an easy thing to deal with. Especially when the Yankees are winning. For the longest time, I always associated Don Zimmer with that unpleasantness, and always had a bad taste in my mouth for […]

Anyone who’s been reading this blog knows that I’ve taken quite a shine to this whole TTM process. I’ve had some good success, I think, along with some disappointments. For the most part though, I’ve done better than I expected. There’s something really cool about making a custom card and then actually having it signed […]

Well, I guess this really isn’t a trade since I didn’t give anything up for them, but they’re a bunch of cards that found their way into my hands. And they came from my Dad of all people. My parents came to visit the other day and my Dad just hands me this stack of […]
