What If…….?

With all the talk lately of the MLB license going to a single company it got me thinking, what if MLB could some how grant one commercial license to Topps and issue independent licenses to individuals who would like to produce their own cards.  My thinking would work like this,  issue the single license and [...]

You Thought Craig’s List Had Idiots!

How much would you pay for this card?

Now check out this auction on eBay and tell me if your answer was even close to the asking price.  At least it has free shipping.  By the way, there are several BIN auctions with $1 price tag.  I sent him an message and he replied asking if [...]

‘62 Topps And Its Green Monster

Last week I was officially banned by Beckett.  A couple of their message board fanatics pooled together and claimed I was spamming them and turned me in.  A day later my login was no longer valid.  The spam in question was a PM I sent to RiceLynnEvans75 suggesting he tried out Zistle.  He was having [...]

#31 Retired

After May 3rd, #31 will never be worn on a Cub’s jersey again.  It will be officially retired before the Cub’s, Marlin’s game on Sunday May 3rd.  I’m thinking I will be there.  I’ve only missed Ernie Bank’s number retirement ceremonies and I might as well keep the streak alive.  This will also mean I [...]

Free Kenny Powers Cards!

If you know who this is, then you’ve seen the funniest show on TV.  Eastbound & Down has easily become my new favorite show.  It’s on HBO so a lot of people are missing out on this.  If you are one of them do yourself a favor and try to catch an episode.  It’s about [...]

Who Wants To Try And Produce A Card Set

I’m sure most of you have read this article about the machine signed “authentic” cards.  With Upper Deck a punch away from being knocked out and Razor a couple flowers short of a funeral, it is time we stepped up and produced our own set.  I called for this in the beginning of the year.  [...]

Card Show Goods

Last Sunday was once again Super Show Sunday.  There were maybe 8 dealers there Sunday and surprisingly quite a few people wandering around.   I don’t know how many were there for the show, and how many were there for the horseshoe tournament.  That’s right, our local “mall” has an indoor horseshoe pit, club, store, place?  [...]
