I made this a few months ago.
Picked up the Leaf auto on discount at Target last year (I think they were $12.99)
Took this card
And turned it into this card
This is pretty close to the final back I used (changed the fonts, but the text is the same).
The Team Collectors busted a jumbo case.
Nothing is for sale or trade, going to the respective team collectors.
The Buybacks - 12 total
Missed a 73T Mike Anderson when I did the scans.
The Srapnel - 6 total
The Rookie Class Rings - 5 total
Babe Ruth #5 /99
Rookie Cup All-Stars
#1 8...
Who do you think has the most cards produced of all-time, not most unique cards, but total cards printed?
For example, McGwire has 34 different cards in the 99 UD Victory base set, times a print run of say 25,000 = 850,000 McGwire cards in just one base set.
I'm thinking it has to be one of...
A truly scary card.
Dear Topps,
You want kids to like baseball cards, not have nightmares about them.
Feel free to add other cards, take a look at the Mat Latos card on ebay as well. He's in full on creeper mode.
the Super Bowl is not played on Saturday?
No work the following day and even more people would watch, especially the international audience. In most parts of the world it's Monday when the Super Bowl is played. If the Ravens win, I wonder how many people around here will call in "sick" on...
Does anyone remember the web site that sells singles from minor league team sets from the 70s and 80s?
I searched and can't seem to find it, or even know if it exists anymore. IIRC, they sold commons for a buck. I have a handful of obscure players I'm trying to track down a card of.
Read a comment somewhere else about 20-pocket pages that hold A&G minis that the cards stick out of the top of the pocket slightly, any truth to this?
I'm trying to decide whether to buy 20-pocket and 15-pocket pages for my A&G minis.
After looking around, am I correct that Beckett no longer publishes the Alphabetical Checklist? Or is it only available online?
I have #7 with a 1997 copyright and still use it all the time for 70s and 80s players. Looks like the most recent I could find was #9 published in 2000. Actually, a...

I own this exact same press plate. It does have a different serial number in the hologram. Here's a scan of mine, the number on the...
Headed down to the Outer Banks in a couple of weeks and there is a Coastal Plain League team in Kill Devil Hills and wanted to catch a game. Was wondering if there were any top college players on the Outer Banks Daredevils or Penisula Pilots? Any help is appreciated.
I was in St. Louis the first weekend in October to go to a Cardinals game and decided to go to the Rams/Seachickens game on Sunday. I sent a couple of the pictures I took of James Laurinaitis to him a couple of weeks ago and got them back today.
(Nothing wrong with the picture, my scanner does...
From time to time I pick these type of things up when I find them for a buck or two.
Here's what I found at the National:
Picked up each of these for a buck then did a little research when I got home to find out what they were.
Picked this up for $3

Any help on 72 or 73 Venezuelan Winter League stickers is appreciated.
Typically what do common players go for?
Anything I should look out for when buying these?
There is a player that has some listed on Ebay with BINs of $5-$12, the seller for a couple of them is from Venezuela. Again...
I play in a wood bat league and my son drags home all the broken bats he can find, must have 15 sitting in a bin. Besides kindling for a fire place I don't have, anybody know of anything cool I could make them into? Was thinking of using the barrel and label areas and making them into a ball...
Anybody else watching?
I don't watch much college football, but always one of the games I look forward to every December.
I'm rooting for Navy since I work in Annapolis (used to work right across the street from the Navy-Marine Corps Stadium until we moved a couple of years ago).
A little background: When my mom downsized her house 3 years ago, I brought a ton of stuff back to my house including two large boxes of stamps. She collected them as a kid in the 50s up through the mid-80s. There hundreds of unused and postmarked stamps dating back to the 19th century (the...
1 box from the group buy, only got 2 hits in the box - guess I'll be contacting Upper Deck to see what they can do. For everyone else, I hope this is not a trend for the entire case.
