The Mets were back up to 3 players on the 1972 All-Star Team. Although I’m loathe to even suggest anything untoward about the Say Hey Kid, I kind of get the impression that his 1972 All-Star appearance might’ve been a bit more based on that fact that he’s Willie Mays than anything else. Between the […]

I can’t believe this is the 3rd Annual Condition: Poor St. Patricks Day Parade of Cardboard. Geez. How long have I been here? On to the parade. This year, the Grand Marshal of the parade is the Mets’ own “Irish Hammer”, Daniel Murphy. Have a great St. Paddy’s day everyone. Don’t eat too much Lucky […]

One of my favorite things about the history of baseball, is how awesome some of the nicknames players have sported throughout the years are. Some nicknames are pretty self explanatory, like when a southpaw is named “Lefty” or a guy from Texas is called “Tex”. I’ve always been intrigued by nicknames that are a little […]

It’s been quite a spell since I’ve done one of these quarter bin posts. It’s not my fault though, I swear. My local card shop has been kind of sporadic with it lately. Apparently they opened up a second location a couple of towns over and moved a lot of the inventory to that location. […]

Since I’ve already showed the very first card acquisition of the new year, I figure I probably should show the very last card acquisitions of last year. Hell, I probably should’ve showed it before I showed the new years new cards, but if I didn’t do things just because I should’ve done them before, I’d […]

I guess it’s about time to stop dragging my feet and put an end to the Offical Condition: Poor First Anniversary Giveaway Contest. Here are the cards that I got from the Topps Million Card Giveaway. 1958 #117 Frank Torre Joe’s older brother. Great looking card. I’m digging that old-timey Braves logo. 1959 #409 Gus […]

Or as my mom calls it, St. Paddy’s Day. In honor of all the boisterous teens who were cutting school in order to go to the NYC St. Patrick’s Day Parade that were on my train this morning, preventing me from reading my newspaper in peace, and the drunken fools who will inevitably be on […]

Back around the holidays I had made my first checkoutmycards.com purchase. Shortly after that, I tried my luck with sportlots.com. Then I wrote a post comparing and contrasting the two experiences. My initial verdict was that Check Out My Cards seemed a bit more suited to scoring relics and refractors and autographs and fancy cards […]
