    Baseball Booms, Minor Leaguers Still Exploited

    http://camdendepot.blogspot.com/2018/03/baseball-booms-minor-leaguers-still.html?m=1 Interesting article, especially in light of all the whining and posturing by major leaguers this off-season. I vaguely recall that minor league players were way underpaid. But this is pretty ridiculous. I'd...

    A big thanks to the FCB member who sent these cards to my son!

    OK, maybe the best mailday we have had at my house before! After posting on FCB about helping my son Wynn sell a few of his cards to buy a blaster box of Topps chrome, somebody sent my son an overly generous and very cool package of Albert Pujols cards. There was lots of excitement. He has...

    Need a favor- someone want to "buy" my son's cards for me? ;)

    My son used a Christmas gift card to buy an unopened blaster box of 2013 Topps chrome from Amazon. He is 6 years old. He got 5 refractors (of course, 4 purple refractors are guaranteed!) :wink: and a Miguel Cabrera die cut, and he was through the moon. Before he has even put his cards away, he...

    How can a product called "Inception" have reprints?

    Just doing my usual 1998 Bowman Chrome searches on ebay and this made me barf in my mouth a little. I guess it reminds me of why I don't collect modern cards anymore... in·cep·tion noun \in-ˈsep-shən\ Definition : an act, process, or instance of beginning Topps employee #1...

    Old school: 7 boxes of 1998 Bowman Chrome

    I busted 7 boxes of 98 bowman chrome this weekend- an early Christmas present to myself! 6 were 24 pack Hobby boxes that I picked up this summer, and one was a 20 pack retail box that I picked up off of ebay recently. The retail boxes seem to be extremely rare- I hardly ever see them. That...

    Not so Sterling: Got my 6th card, but the print run is 5!

    Have not had time to post here much lately- but I wanted to get some opinions on this. After I picked up a 1/1 cherry wood frame for cheap, I managed to complete a rainbow of 2010 Topps Sterling Manny Ramirez #27 with one each of the 7 versions of the card produced. I also was picking up dups...

    Player collectors: You vs. Burbank who has more cards?

    I was looking at a couple of Manny Ramirez cards on Burbanks' Beckett site when I noticed they have 2,677 different Manny Ramirez cards in their store! Yikes. I guess it never occured to me that to consider your player collection the "biggest in the world" it would probably to be above...

    Opinions on these Pujols patches

    Generally, 2009 Topps Tribute jersey pieces look like the following, for Pujols specifically and all other players, too: Lately, there have been a rash of Pujols tributes with what appears to be the same Cardinals jesery/logo pieces. See below. A few from one seller but another one sold from...

    Had a nice surprise greet me in my mailbox this week- some nice stars that I need for a 1998 Bowman chrome international refractor set I have been working on for a while! Courtesy of George_Calfas. Thanks George!

    Alexi Ogando- crazy story- anybody see him last year?

    Was wondering where the heck Alexi Ogando came from - as he posted some serious numbers out of the Rangers bullpen last year. First noticed that he had batting stats for 2003 and 2004, then it skips to pitching stats in 2010! Was wondering is any Rangers fans or anybody got to see him throw...

    Tribute to the end of the rainbow (scans!)

    Nice collecting feat for me here in completing this rainbow. It's a good amount of luck that you get the opportunity to buy the 1/1 cards when they come up, and that you have the funds to do so when they do. I had landed all of the cards except the final 1/1, which I was thrilled to see hit...

    Comeback attempt for former #1 overall pick

    Sounds like Matt Anderson is trying to pitch again in the majors... http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/hotstove10/columns/story?columnist=crasnick_jerry&id=6036763 ...maybe he should talk to Josh Hamilton ;)

    Anybody know what this Ruth GU piece is?

    Curious about the blue & red colored thing in the left window. The ebay seller describes it as a GU base, which seems odd. The card only says "memorabilia" on the back so they are no help at all. One of these sold a short while back that looked similar though and that seller seller...

    How can you keep your finger off of this BIN?

    http://cgi.ebay.com/Manny-Ramirez-Class-High-School-Era-Recommendation-/260674294789?pt=US_Baseball&hash=item3cb1661405 Oh man. Seller, meet price guide. Price guide- meet seller. Of course, he doesn't even say which set it actually is... Just imagine- 5! Manny minor league cards all in...

    Player Collector Contest Thread: Manny Ramirez

    OK- it not much of a thread, it's just a link: http://carrsallstarsmannyramirez.yolasite.com/about-us.php I had been meaning to put some type of collection site together- and to start scanning some non-PSA Manny cards too. Now when I do I at least have a place to put them. Just figured I'd...

    Ebay seller dagabs...5k player lots

    Thought this was worth a post as he now has over 70 player lots up on the bay of "5000 assorted Frank Thomas cards AUs GUd #d RCs PSA" etc. I actually purchased 2 large Manny lots from him maybe 3 years ago... he used to have "examples" of cards that were randomly included in his player...

    Are topps tribute patches/tags legit?

    Has anybody here pulled a 2010 topps tribute auto or jersey card with a laundry tag or game used patch in it? A Manny auto just game up that struck me as unusual in that every single other Manny auto to hit the bay so far that I've seen has been composed solely of snow white jersey pieces...
