Happy Halloween!

I had a party and this guy showed up as Wally Moon dressed up as Dracula!  This odd looking specimen goes by the name of Ken L. Hunt, or the obvious joke,   K. Hunt.  I did a few searches on this guy and all I could find was his wikipedia page. It had almost [...]

Screw Candy, I Got Cards

101 to be exact.  I won this little lot on the-bay for a measly $40.  I haven’t even looked all the way though it yet, but I have found a few that I have been looking forward to getting.  Some are in good condition, others look like they were found in a mud puddle.  What [...]

Worst Card In My Collection Part 2

I’m going to go ahead and crown Mr. Ken Phelps and his 1987 Donruss card the winner of round 1.  I think it is deservedly so.  I have the next three challengers ready and the winner of this round will go onto fight Ken Phelps for the title of Worst Card In My Collection.  With [...]

Upper Deck Masterpieces

While wandering through Shop-Ko this morning I noticed they had a sale on all $2o blasters for $15.  They also had the first blasters of Masterpieces I’ve seen in town.  I’ve liked what I’ve seen so far of them and I really wanted the Ryno card.  I decided to double down and buy two blasters.  [...]

I’ve Got Mail!

Earlier this month I sent Mr. Ross of Boxbusters a get better soon package.  Yesterday I received a nice little package in return from Mr. Ross.  This works out great because I was able to turn a pile of Cardinals cards into Cubs cards magically through the mail.  What a great world we live in!  [...]

Almost There

I’ve been thinking about bootlegging some cards lately and seeing if they sell on Ebay.  I think they look better than the real ones.
I got the Rays in 5 over the Phils, who do you got?

New Page

I’ve added a new section to the site.  It’s the new page Random Cards.  I will update this semi-regularly with two new cards.  These will be random cards that I have scanned to my computer.  All of my cards are always up for trade so this is a good way to show you the goods.  [...]

Contest, Polls, And Prizes

It seems like every blog I visit is having a contest, taking a poll, or giving away prizes. So I decided to do all three.  I was thinking of what the worst card in my collection is and I came to the conclusion that I own way more than one.  I want some sort of [...]
