As much as I would love to continue posting about how awesome the cards that Chris sent me for doing that custom card 7,000,000 years ago, I need to finish this out. So here’s the final push, and it should be no great surprise that I saved the best for last. 1957 Topps #39 Al […]

Some More Birthday Cards
July 1st, 2010 by slangon

So I wound up going out after work yesterday and it was closer to 8:30 by the time I got home. When I did arrive home I was psyched to see a cardboard box about the size of a hobby box of 2010 Allen & Ginter cards in between my outside door and inside door. […]

A Career Capping eBay Haul
June 22nd, 2010 by slangon

O.K. I admit it. Ever since I got that awesome haul of vintage cards from Chris over at Project ’62, I’ve been leaning on those Card of the Moment posts rather than writing about cards that I’ve obtained from other channels recently.

Taking A Break from Vintage
February 13th, 2010 by slangon

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 […]
