My life and times in sports and baseball cards
Today I managed to find a blaster of brand spanking new 2009 baseball cards. Sweet Relief. However, it wasn’t the Topps blasters but a shiny Upper Deck Blaster that was staring back at me from the shelf. I had to move a pack searcher out of the way to get it but its mine now. [...]
Some of you may remember the box of 2007 Fleer Ultra SE Hobby baseball that I opened back in January. In that box I received an autographed redemption card of John Danks. I just sat on the redemption card for awhile before I completed the online process to redeem it. The card came in around [...]

Ben discussed the offer that Upper Deck made [...]
Set to be released today April 25, 2007 Upper Deck Premier Baseball is not for collectors on a tight budget. At nearly $300 per box (actually it is a box with a pack of seven cards) this release is not for everyone. While perusing the internet last night I found pre-sell boxes for as little [...]
