I picked up a box of these at the card show for $7. This is the first premium set produced by Fleer. The design is basic, but nice and clean. This set features some great photography and are printed with metallic ink. It looks great on the cards, but doesn’t fair so well on the [...]

This Is A Seven?
I’ll start out by saying that I hate the Cardinals, I hate Tim McCarver, and I hate graded cards. With all that said I still bought this. It came from Ebay and cost all of $4.00. It “books” for $30 and being a “7″ I thought it was an Ok deal. My question is, does [...]

Cards I Dream Of Owning
1953 Bowman Color Pee Wee Reese
I will be posting a series of these in the near future. Yes, it’s a filler post, but these are cards I hope to own someday. Some may be incredibly valuable, some may not. You never know who’s trash may be your treasure. This one here I doubt is in [...]

1962 Billy Williams
I’ve been on a Hall Of Fame streak lately with my ‘62 set. This beauty here set me back $4.42. It has some unsightly surface damage but strangely the card is smooth to the touch. It’s still worth every penny of the $4.42.

Is this………
Now worth this?????????
Way to go Alex, anyone who can make Jose look like an honest, truthful man is an even bigger douche bag than he is. I never liked Rodriguez at all and am not one bit surprised that he had tested positive or had been tipped off when his tests were coming up. [...]

Card Show Booty
Today was Super Show Sunday. There were only 5 dealers there today but I still managed to squander my weekly allowance in a matter of minutes! The first card I picked up was the “Manager’s Dream” card. I made a deal for this card last month but had too many other things in my hands [...]
