Got this from Santa Wife for Christmas, only got around to breaking it today. I don't bust much anymore, so this was a real treat. More so because it seems like I could sell a few cards for more than the box cost, which is rare these days.

I remember...
I have the same Mantle book, and like you, Deaconblues, I got it signed IP for the cost of the book.
I also have about 120 other signed baseball books, photos of which used to be in my photobucket account (you all probably know what happened there). They sit in the basement library at my folks’...
I really like them all, but the Expos card is fantastic. His 2002 Topps Traded card with the Expos is one of my favorites as well, a part of that tiny niche of cards where a player is depicted on a team for which he never actually played an official game (aside from all the Bowman prospect...
If you have the time (and the Spotify app), this Bill Simmons podcast with Theo Epstein is worth a listen. First thirty minutes is about NBA, which I skipped, last 80 minutes is Epstein. Roughly the first half of that is him getting into Red Sox and Cubs tenures, with a lot of minutia about...
I will have to think about it, but I'm glad that someone is interested at least. If it wasn't clear from my post/photos, there are four cups, with two players on each, correlating from left to right in the two photos (i.e., Chavous is opposite Johnson, Wright is opposite Elway, etc)...
Thanks, that’s very helpful. I did a completed eBay search and found nothing, so this is good to see. Yeah I agree that Elway is the biggest deal (obviously), and I was hoping to find out that this was an “RC” cup of some kind (if they were put out in ‘83 or ‘84, but 85 is my best guess)...
I'm not a football guy, and I don't really post on any other message boards, so I thought I'd throw this here and see if anyone had any thoughts.
I grew up in Colorado Springs, and I recently found these plastic cups in the back of my childhood closet. They are 7-Eleven Big Gulp cups, and each...
Wow, retail can be pretty hard to find these days, so when I saw two SC blasters at Walmart, I grabbed them. I do like the photography.
The only pull of note was a Ken Griffey Jr. Blue variation, #28/50. I'm glad they have some retired greats in the set, and they chose a sweet photo of Junior...
Yes! This is what I was trying to say in my post above. The thing that many non-pro gamers who make youtube videos are good at is making viewers feel like they are sitting next to them at home. As long as my kids also play with IRL friends (and with me, occasionally), I'm all good with this form...
