During yesterday’s extra-inning, rain delayed game against the Marlins, Jose Reyes went 3 for 6 with a walk to propel himself back into the top spot in the National League in batting average over Ryan Braun. The day before, Jose had actually dropped into second place by 3 points, but thanks to his 3 hits […]

These are the remaining Mets that I got in my big June haul. Once again, these were really the meat of the cards and mostly had to do with why I’m considering June such a good month, card-wise. We start of with an O-G Met, and a semi-high number at that. 1962 Topps #497 Ed […]

What better way to kick off the holiday weekend than to keep going with the stuff I got from Project ’62 for doing his custom relic card? Step into the time machine where we’ll zoom on back to 1977. Watch your arms. I’ve always loved the legend of Dock Ellis, even if this particular card […]

Before we get into it, I just want to acknowledge the Mets awesome play over the last week or so. They actually set a new club record for most runs scored over the course of a 4 game span. I personally didn’t really know that such a record existed, but they broke it alright. The […]

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 […]

Okay, so I finally got around to scanning that blaster of 2010 Topps Series 2 that the wife gave me for me birthday. I wanted to get this done quick so I could start in on busting that box of Ginter for Gint-A-Cuffs. It’s been laying around my house for a few days now, and […]

1970 Topps Scratch-Offs Tom Seaver This is another of the awesome cards that I got in a trade with Chris from Project ’62. It’s a Topps Baseball Scratch-Off from 1970. Insert cards are still really prevalent in card releases now-a-days, but it seems like they’re much more of the small-sub-set-with-a-common-theme-but-just-still-a-regular-old-card-nonetheless variety. In this years Topps […]

A while back, I had posted about a TTM success that I recently got back from former Red Sox pitcher and current wack-o Bill “The Spaceman” Lee. Chris from Project ’62 had contacted me about getting a copy of the Bill Lee card for his Bill Lee player collection that he started last year. Now, […]
