    2 blasters 2019 Ginter - glossy Maris 1/1

    Last night I bought two blasters after work. It was late and I was tired so I just ran through the base. The only notable highlight was a Chris Taylor (Dodgers) GU jersey card. This morning I went through the base and minis again. Good thing I did. I had no knowledge of this year’s Ginter so I...

    A day late but....thank you David Wright. It’s a shame injuries cut your career short but you have been an amazing player and person. The pull that started my (small) David Wright Collection. Feel free to share your favorite Wright moments and cards.

    Tips for sending a card to PSA for grading

    Hello folks! As some of you know I’ve been a collector for a long time (25 years or so). However, I’ve never sent a card off for grading. One of my prized baseball card possessions is my 2011 Topps Update #175 Mike Trout RC. As the card continues to rise in value I’ve made the decision to get...

    PC mail day - Mantle and McNair

    I know, cheating a little bit with a partially football mail day. Since I've re-entered the hobby I have attempted to focus a little bit more on singles instead of busting wax. That's not going very well so far after several retail purchases this week. However, I did pick up a few PC pieces on...

    Cub mail day

    Today was my first sports-related mail day in a while since I've taken a little break from the hobby. Last week A_Pharis had a little giveaway during a pack break video on the FCB Facebook page. The four of us watching at the time were sent packages. Got mine today. Thanks Adam! 2012 Playoff...

    FS 2013 Topps Mini Exclusive Mike Trout autograph - $150 dlvd

    This is probably the best non-Mantle card in my baseball collection, but it would be a nice start toward getting an Xbox One. Mike Trout is once again one of the hottest names in baseball. This autograph was only found in the online-exclusive 2013 Topps Mini baseball boxes (which guaranteed...

    FT Possibly FT: 2013 Topps Mini Mike Trout autograph

    This is going to be very, very hard to let go of. Right now I would likely ONLY consider letting it go for a rather nice Mantle card (preferably multi-GU). If you are interested I will check what you have, but I'm not 100% certain on trading it away. By Beckett it books $150, but the last to...

    Fishy mail day from The Bench (Trout!)

    Last week I logged on to The Bench for the first time in over 2 months; I haven't been involved in the hobby much lately (here on FCB, there, or on any other forum). Little did I remember that I entered a contest on The Bench in January (held by member David K.). I had 2 messages - 1 from...

    Lack of Mickey Mantle in 2013 Topps

    It surprised me to see that Mickey Mantle has no releases in 2013 Topps. There is no #7 base, and he has no inserts. Mantle in the base Topps product has been a guarantee since 2006. He was also left out of the 2012 Topps Chrome set. As a Mantle collector, I wonder why?

    What did you get hobby-related for Christmas?

    What did you receive related to the hobby for Christmas? I didn't ask for anything, but I was surprised by my mother. A few months back Dave and Adam's had a Mantle single for sale that I went back-and-forth on. Eventually, I noticed it was gone from the site so I figured it sold elsewhere...
