New Page For Those Who Want To Trade

I just added a new page with a bunch of scans of stuff I have for trade.  I hope to keep it updated as stuff comes and goes.  It’s an eclectic group of all kinds of cards, some high end, some low end, and some that falls in between.  I hope to do alot more [...]

Who Pays This Much For This Stuff?

Final auction price:  $781.99

Yeah it’s Timmy and it’s a 1/1, but really?  That final bid is crazy in my opinion.  It’s a sticker auto with a fancy patch out of one of the more disliked releases of the year.  If someone would want to try and explain to me why someone would want to drop [...]

My Christmas Ebay Shopping Spree

That’s right, I’m sitting on $200 worth of eBay gift cards and my mind is spinning trying to figure out just what I want to buy.  The plan was for me to pick up a 1953 Bowman Color Pee Wee Reese, but it seems now that Christmas is over the eBay sellers have jacked their [...]

What Doc Ellis Was Thinking

I found this on the website No Mas along with possibly the coolest T-shirt ever.  If I was an Orioles fan, I’d buy two!

And The Winner Is……

Nobody!
That’s right no one got it exactly right but one person came so close, I’m going to go ahead and award him the prize.  So a big congrats goes out to deal of the great site Phungo.  He had the grades right but just for the wrong cards.  Close enough in my book.  As [...]

Last Chance To Enter The Contest

I just want to start out by saying I feel lost in the blogosphere without Wax Heaven being updated.  I hope someone decides to step up and try to fill Mario’s unusually large shoes.  I know it won’t be me because I have a hard time posting once a week.  But I truly hope someone [...]

Some Nice Vintage For Your Viewing Pleasure

I haven’t posted in a while so I thought I would at least show off a couple of cards I picked up off eBay recently.  The first is one of my new favorite cards.  I got it for $8.50 shipped which blew my mind.  It only “books” for $50, but one would think it should [...]

Seriously Topps WTF?

So I go to Wally World today to pick up a few things.  One of which is a jumbo pack of Updates and Highlights.  Out of 36 cards this is half of what I pulled.

9 sets of doubles.  Am I the only one who pulls packs like this?  I’ve had similar issues with Allen & [...]

My Three Favorite Autos In No Particular Order

2004 Fleer Greats Ron Santo
I was lucky enough to get this in person at a private meet and greet with the greatest third baseman who’s not in the Hall Of Fame.

1992 Turk Wendell RC

I picked this up at a card show for dirt cheap.  In my opinion it is still one of the oddest, greatest [...]

Guess The Grade (It’s A Contest)

Here’s the Prize
1962 Topps NL Wins Leaders #58
1959 Topps Dick Williams #292
1961 Fleer Dazzy Vance #81

I know I’ve said it here and many other places that grading services are nothing more than a scam to create a false scarcity in the collecting world.  The issues I have with grading are too many to mention.  [...]
