I ran across this article on the internet that brought me back to a simpler time in my collecting journey. At one time I had no idea what a price guide was or that I should take extra care to keep my cards safe from damage. Before I began getting involved in the hobby and [...]
Ben Henry over at The Baseball Card Blog had a great post referencing the pending Topps sale. He brought up something that I had heard but didn’t give a lot of thought to until I read his post. If you would like to read his post click here.
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 [...]
Love him or hate him Jose Canseco’s career has been a whimsical journey. From the highs of being the first to hit 40 homers and steal 40 bases in a season to the lows of balls bouncing off his head for home runs it has never been boring following the career of Jose Canseco.

This was my first purchase of 2007 Upper Deck Series One Baseball. I bought two blaster boxes just before going on vacation a few days ago. I did not get the chance to open them before we left. I decided to open them while watching the Gamecast of the Rangers and Mariners on ESPN.Com tonight.
Anyway, [...]
One of the things that the card collecting hobby needs to rebound and grow is a new influx of children getting involved. If there were not any new collectors coming into the hobby it would eventually die. The best time to try to get someone involved in the hobby is when they are young. I [...]
2007 Topps Blaster Box from Wal Mart
You know the drill, you get off from work and you stop at Wal Mart to get some soft drinks, pet food and whatever else you’re running out of. As you are headed for the check out lane you just happen to go by the trading card section. I’m [...]
As expected the price of the 2007 Topps Derek Jeter #40 card featuring cameos from George Bush and Mickey Mantle is settling under $10 on Ebay. The early buyers that paid triple figures for the card when it was discovered are now seeing prices realized for the card anywhere from about $5 to $10. I [...]
I purchased this box from Blowoutcards.com for $51.99. Each box contains 24 packs with 8 cards per pack and a box loader pack that contains a random felt team logo patch. This years Topps Heritage offering is based on the 1958 issue. The 1958 issue contained short prints and some yellow letter variations that are [...]
