My life and times in sports and baseball cards
I imagine that most of you out there have seen the Elf Yourself dance videos from last year where you can upload you own photos and email all your friends Seasons Greetings. They are back again this year once again from the guys at JibJab and sponsored by OfficeMax.
I had some card scans handy [...]
With my recent purchases on Ebay I am closing in on completing the 2006 UD Special F/X Star Attractions inserts. With the five I just received in the mail I now only need four cards to complete it. It will be the first set of any kind I have completed since the Touch’em All project [...]
Along with the Pudge card from the previous post this 2008 Topps Updates and Highlights Gold Ian Kinsler came from my last Ebay purchase to arrive. This was actually the card that had me buying the aforementioned Pudge Triple Threads card. I was bidding on several game used and autographed cards along with this Kinsler [...]
For those of you that have been around this blog for awhile you know one of my favorite players is Ivan (Pudge) Rodriguez. As such he is one of the players I actively seek for Touch’em All even though I will never be able to touch all of his cards. But, that fact doesn’t stop [...]
I was visiting with a business associate yesterday talking about how the internet has changed the way companies market their products and services to consumers. The conversation turned to Web 2.0 and user generated content which led to me sharing with him my experience with this blog. As he formed his response to the fact that [...]

I bought a couple of packs of 2008 Bowman Football not expecting to be wowed by any means. But, I totally didn’t expect to completely wish I hadn’t dropped them in my buggy. These things are absolutely horrible.
From the moment I pulled them out of the pack I couldn’t believe my eyes. Part of [...]
Finishing out the group of cards I bought on Ebay the other day is this 2008 Allen & Ginter Ivan Rodriguez Game Used Jersey Relic Card. How sweet it is and for only a $1.75. Yes, I touched the swatch.
When Topps relaunched Allen & Ginter I didn’t like the framed mini relics at first. [...]
As I mentioned in my previous post I did some shopping on Ebay the other day and picked up some cards I needed for my Touch’em All player collections. I won a couple of 2008 Topps U&H All Star Game Event Worn Jerseys of Ian Kinsler; and yes I touched the swatches.
The swatches are in [...]
I haven’t checked in on one of the Ebay sellers that I have frequented over the last couple of years until one night last week. Much to my delight he had numerous cards up for auction that I was interested in. He didn’t have anything I needed for any of my sets but he had [...]
