Hey all - just reaching out to say hello and I'm going to get back into collecting a little bit. Spent the last several years collecting and playing Magic the Gathering. Didn't do too bad for an old man, but I've sold out of all of that and am back to sports collecting. Hello to my old...
I've been waiting for this set for a long time. Its one of my favorite base set styles and I think Topps did very good this year.
Percent of set completed = 362/500 or 72.4%
Base SPs = 15/75

Hey all, I thought I would kick this off. I used to collect back in the 90s, but I never found a place to play. Now I have two boys ages 10 and 13 who like to play and I started by playing against them. Now I'm getting into it more and more. Best I've done was in the BOTG Pre-release when I...
Yes, I play and I'm old (45). However, I play against my boys as well as take them to tournaments. I'd be bored if I sat there all day, so I started playing and I rather enjoy it.
I would be looking for uncommons, rares and foils in the current standard series (Return to Ravnica to Born of...
Hey all, I've been busting a lot of A&G this year, about 4 boxes worth. I've had some decent autograph pulls, Ziggy Marley and Nik Wallenda, but no players until today...
It was a pretty good box for me to as I was able to close in on some of my SPs I needed for the set.
So, for my daughter's 17th birthday, I got her and I tickets to the Orioles/Twins game next Sunday. She's a closet Orioles fan and I'm the relocated Twins fan. I live a couple hours away, so I won't be staying the night, but I do have some questions...
I have seats around the 20th row, lower...
Stopped by Warren's shop today allstars in PA today. I haven't stopped by much since I moved out of the area. I'm glad I did.

A letter handwritten from Roy Campinella to Branch Rickey about Monte Irvin and Larry Doby. If I only had the cash for this one. Its a nice period piece of history.

Had 10 codes from a jumbo box and got:
Tokens: Arizona, Dallas, New England x2, NY Jets, Pittsburgh, San Diego, San Fran

Picked up a couple of tins to try and add to my HOF auto collection or hoping for that Jack Morris/Kirby Puckett dual auto. Unfortunately, got shutout, I already had the HOFers.
Base cards were:
Tim Hudson, Greg Maddux and Walter Johnson all base #d
Autos:

I think I the only person addicted to this stuff. The first tin I opened had a Blaine Gabbert Rookie Sigs #/10. Since then I pick up a tin for $55 every time I'm on a business trip. Here are the spoils today...
Base: Thurman Thomas, Steve Smith
Insert: HOF Marshall Faulk

I thought I'd take a shot on these. I don't purchase too much wax anymore and I get a lot of my cards TTM. I saw the release and thought they were a good idea. I didn't necessarily make money back, but that's not why I bust anyway. All of these probably will stay in my collection.
This is...
Got 2 boxes of this from Boomo. I busted 2 boxes of this stuff 'back in the day.'

Picked this up with 2 other boxes for a total of $100. Pretty strange, 20 packs in this box instead of the stated 18. However, it had the Donruss shrink wrap and there were some good hits in the box. Here are the hits and top Rookies:
Dan Marino Field of Vision 440/951

Just got my Father's Day gifts given to me. Got an awesome tool chest and a Blu Ray copy of Aliens. Very thoughtful of my family - I've been asking for a tool chest for a long time.
I'm collecting the set, so any dupes would be for trade. Here are the highlights:
Bowman's Best: Montero &...
