My life and times in sports and baseball cards
Today I returned home from a long hard day at work and I saw the mail sitting on the cabinet. Right on top was an envelope and I immediately recognized the return address, it was from Mario from Wax Heaven. I felt the envelope and deduced that there was a top loader inside.
I tried to [...]
I was wrapped up in some paperwork and card sorting this weekend and completely forgot about the mail. Tucked between some bills and advertisements was an envelope from Chris in Pennsylvania. Enclosed were Ivan Rodriguez, Ian Kinsler and Michael Young.
As most of you know I am trying to get every Ivan Rodriguez and Ian Kinsler [...]
I received an email a couple of weeks ago from blog reader Grant asking me if I wanted his 2008 TriStar Taylor Teagarden. I told him I did even though I usually didn’t buy unlicensed products so he sent it my way along with a few more cards. I didn’t realize the TriStar card was [...]
I got this package in the mail several days ago but I am just now getting around to sharing it with you. A big ‘ol chest bump goes out to Dayf of Cardboard Junkie for sending me a total of 40 Ivan Rodriguez cards and a Turkey Red Ian Kinsler card for my player collections. [...]
Back in August a reader named Sam used the Contact Form on the blog to let me know that he had a 2008 Topps All Star Rookie 50th Anniversary Scott Rolen card he would trade me. I know, I am super slow when it comes to trades. As we exchanged emails he let me know [...]
It has been several weeks ago now that I gave a handful of Nolan Ryan dupes I had to a coworker and told him to just find me something the next time he is going through his cards. I had already forgotten about the deal but yesterday he presented me with three Ivan Pudge Rodriguez [...]
The prolific blogger from Wax Heaven Mario Alejandro sent me a package several days ago containing 22 Ivan “Pudge” Rodriguez and Ian Kinsler cards. Thanks Mario for helping out with my quest to Touch’em All. Both players are on my want list and there were some really great cards in the lot.
My favorite Kinsler in [...]
Several days ago I received an email from a collector named Dennis, that had some Ivan Rodriguez cards he thought I might like. He had some I needed and said that he would send them to me right away. Plus, he said he would have some extras in there I might like as well. He [...]
This evening when I walked through the back door I looked for the mail like I normally do fully expecting to find nothing but bills and junk mail. Right on top of the stack though was a bubble envelope and we all know what that means. Yep, more baseball cards. I recognized the name from [...]
The second trade between SqueezePlayCards and White Sox Cards was completed today as I received my cards from Steve today in the mail. As I pulled the top loaders from the bubble envelope I knew I had a card I did not have of Pudge Rodriguez. It kind of freaked me out a bit as [...]
Two Turkeys were recently traded for a Revco in a three player deal between the owners of White Sox Cards and SqueezePlayCards. The deal was worked out via that new invention called the internet. Never before has trading baseball cards been so easy. Now if somebody could just figure out how to roll back gas [...]
Several days ago I was contacted by Chris about a possible deal for an Upper Deck Special F/X Star Attractions Greg Maddux card I needed. I checked out his want list and found some cards he needed for some of the sets he was working on and a deal was struck. I traded him eight [...]
Joe over at Cincy Reds Cards offered me this 2001 Topps Reserve Ivan Rodriguez Jersey Card and I was pleased to accept it. I am loving this blogging stuff where I get cards in the mail just because another collector knows I collect somebody. Well, Joe collects Cincinnati Reds cards so I will be digging [...]
