My mother-in-law wants to get me a box of baseball cards for my birthday. I haven't paid much attention to the recent Bowman releases so what offers the best bang for the buck? She'll probably order from blowout and look to spend less than $100.
A quick glance at prices are as follows:
2011...
What are the best sites out there to manage a dynasty league? I'm currently in an 18 team league on ESPN and we manage the minor league portion of the league off site but it is a pain to do. Are there any free sites out there that have a minor league option or have easily customizable roster...
I redeemed 5 RHRs from 2010 Topps when they first came out. I've received 3 of the 5 but I'm still waiting on a Brett Wallace and Mike Stanton. Is anyone else still waiting on any?
I found the article very interesting. The author originally intended to do a list of 50 but instead is releasing it in parts and doing a write up on each player. It is a subscriber only article so I will only list the players profiled in the first posting. Also, they note that the order is...
My heart skipped a few beats when I saw this pic:
My dad and brother are Cardinal fans and I have been giving them a ton of crap about Pujols signing with the Cubs. I don't see it happening but as a Cubs fan what else do I have to dream about?
I pulled this out of RRR and since I don't collect basketball I'm looking to sell it. I'm asking $175 dlvd. Subs are Centering: 10 Edges: 9 Corners: 9.5 Surface: 9.5
I have either Ricky Williams or Cadillac Williams as my RB2 this week. It's a PPR league so keep that in mind. I'm leaning towards Ricky since I think Miami will look to control the clock with the running game against GB this week while it wouldn't surprise my if TB is down and goes to the air...
Busted one box of Razor Rookie Retro and got:
2007-2008 SP Rookie Edition Rookie Autographs #151 Kevin Durant BGS 9.5
No idea on value as I only collect baseball but I don't think I did too bad.
Because I’m a huge nerd I compiled a database of all the opening day lineups going back to the expansion year of 1993. I was bored and it seemed like something that might be interesting. Here are a couple of trivia questions based on answers that surprised me.
Who has played for the most...
I don't think this is schilling necessarily but I found it odd that he waited 4 days to retract his bid and then entered the new amount just under what he knew the other guy's max was. Not to mention the fact that in the last 6 months he has 123 bid retraction! How is this guy still an ebay...
I busted 6 boxes of 2010 Topps Series 2. Highlights:
Red Hot Rookies: 2(x2), 4, 8, 10
Black: Padres, Kyle Kendrick
GU: Theriot, Swisher, McCutchen, Haren
Manufactured Hat Patches: Berkman, F. Hernandez
and this nice patch:

Sorry about the large scans. I haven't figured my scanner out yet.
I just got this beauty in the mail today.
Picked this up from tyweb1.
Picked this up a month or so ago but it is easily my favorite Sosa auto.
I'm looking to buy Artist's Proof, End Zone, Red Zone, Gold Zone, or Scoreboard parallels from 2009 Score Inscription of the following players:
Aaron Rodgers
Eli Manning
Maurice Jones-Drew
Fred Jackson
Cadillac Williams
Braylon Edwards
Bernard Berrian
Antonio Bryant
Antonio Gates
Paul Posluszny...
I am wanting to scan a majority of the cards in my Sammy Sosa collection. The only problem is that it is about 2500 cards and I've figured if I scan 1 card a minute it will still take me weeks or months before its done. Is there any software or scanners that automatically crop scans? Does...
This is on ebay:
It's numbered out of /25. I guess the only thing I question is did they put mlb logo patches in these cards?
I have this one in my collection:
I made the mistake of watching 1st and 10 on my lunch break and one of the reporters on there said Josh Beckett was the best pitcher in baseball. He isn't even the best pitcher in his own division let alone all of baseball. Am I the only one who thought that was so far off base?
Here is a...
I just picked up 2 Sammy Sosa Starquest Gold that were in a lot of cards I bought. Beckett says they are serial #'d /100 but neither of mine are #'d. Is mine a back door copy or is Beckett wrong?
