Topps Total is back!
and Topps screwed the pooch on it (if you are a collector, IMHO). Maybe this needs to go to the worst card manufacturer ideas thread. 10-card pack for $10 - 900 card set, low numbered parallel chances, no relics or autos, 100 card wave released every 3 weeks. As a collector - nope. I am... -

Happy 2019 MLB season!
I love these MLB opening mornings! Athletics and Mariners in Japan and there is already a leader after an inning of play. -

F+W MEDIA Files chapter 11 bankrupcy
I just saw a news blurb that F+W Media filed for Chapter 11 bankrupcy but it may not be the end of Sports Collectors Digest as it was reported that F+W Media will try to find buyers for their various titles, including SCD. -

Happy Sign of Spring Day!
A lot of teams' pitchers/catchers reported today, many more report tomorrow. First full squad workout for many teams is Feb 18th. It's good to see that Spring is right around the corner now that players are starting to show up for the season. -

Ugly side of ballpark naming rights...
Atlanta Braves ballpark to be renamed at some point. SunTrust just announced a merger with BB&T and the press release says the two banks when they become one will operate under a new name and branding, so the SunTrust name won't survive the merger. I have a feeling due to governmental study... -

Crazy HOF fact...
Mariano Rivera was the first Hall of Famer to be elected unanimously - every single voter voted for him - including voters who are Red Sox fans. amazing not even Babe Ruth, Ted Williams, Willie Mays, Hank Aaron or others even got that piece of history before Rivera. I guess everyone before... -

Typical card show price boxes for standard inserts
Since I don't have card shows near me (that I'm aware of) to research this, for a relatively recent standard not-serial-numbered insert (i.e. not inserts of hot rookies, prospects, or megastars), in what types of budget collector boxes could you typically find them in? Dime, 20 cents, quarter... -

MLB Team Captains - who do you think should be...?
Interesting in the 2018 retirees thread that it was brought out that no current team has a captain. With that in mind, who do you think should be captains on a team? Since I have to follow 30 teams (no local or nearby MLB team), my thoughts on 3 teams might be not realistic as I know a lot of... -

Ebay questions poll
More of my ebay research into sports card collector habits as part of another thread about ebay listing things. Just three short questions that I am curious about. I watch listing strategy videos on Youtube and it's all hot women talking about listing clothes so while you might be able to... -

ebay listing questions
so I've been buying from ebay for about 2 decades and now I'm getting into selling on there. I've listed 18 things so far, sold 3. Since I'm a noob seller and things are not flying into the collection box as fast as you'd think would happen with ebay as a platform, you start to question your... -

thing to watch out for about paypal
I ran into a situation the other day that I haven't seen but I know will be more common on ebay as they spin away from accepting paypal. I won an item on ebay the other day and thought I'd just pay for it with paypal but paypal is not accepted for that listing so I had to pay for my auction win... -

The withdrawl begins...
Now that the Red Sox have completed the mission (knocking the Yankees out of the playoffs and on their home field as a bonus!), the withdrawl begins until the LCS' start on Friday. Couldn't someone have taken any series to 5 games to shorten the time between DS and LCS??? Interesting that... -
