Apparently it's in the $30 million range as expected.
Not pleased as a Yankee fan.
EDIT: could a mod fix the title to MoNcada. Friggin early morning...
Leaf Q looks nice, but what?

I guess that's what happens when you need to dig for photos without the logo. I find no record of Reggie wearing #20 for...
So I busted 2 cases this weekend and I have to say I'm in the middle on it. I got some really nice cards in it, some others that should do well, and a bunch of meh. I doubt I make my money back on it, only next Sunday's end to the auction block will tell that tale.
Here's what I got...

Hell yeah. Post'em if ya got'em. Maybe now people will stop low-balling the auctions I have up.

gets the win for High A Tampa Yanks. The best part of it, he was the starting catcher, going 14 behind the dish. Oh, and he threw out both guys trying to steal.
He's basically a 24yr old non-prospect, but the guy deserves his props...
It's obviously still early, but I think this Tanaka thing may work out.
8 IP today, gave up two hits, both bunt singles. One was almost an out, overturned on review. The other was a Rizzo bunt to beat the shift. 10 K's. Only two 3 ball counts (one walk)
Tanaka is also the only pitcher in...
I guess the question applies across all eras, but really it's not so much a current set question.
When you decide to put together a set, be it the regular release, inserts, autos, or what-have-you:
1. How do you kick it off?
Are you buying the big ticket items first?
Do you fill out the...
I had been looking for an excuse to jump into vintage for a while, moving at least a part of my collecting focus from prospects/prospecting to something I can enjoy and not have to worry about real world player performance so much. Of course I've had bits and pieces of a vintage collection, but...

Joins and basically tells management they need to spend more.
Way to do your homework, Robbie. But as long as they respect you it'll be all good.
It's going to be an absolute frenzy when it hits, so the only question is what's the product? Topps Series I? Probably too soon. I have to assume they'll try to capitalize on the madness and have him in Bowman with autos. Guess I'll have to suck it up and dive in on that train.
EDIT: I...
I'd like to thank and blame Topps for adding new colors to the rainbow of autos in Draft. While it makes the rainbow much more a true rainbow, it makes for more expensive and difficult project.
That said, gotta say I'm loving this newest addition to my Yankee rainbow series.
And with that...
Looking to round out the rainbows on these guys. Need the Blue Wave auto Jagielo and the top two Clarkins, the /5 red auto and the superfractor auto.
Any help is much appreciated!
I was thinking of moving some 30-day fixed to 7-auction starting tonight, but then I got to thinking....
• end right between Black Friday and Cyber Monday
• potentially a lot of people traveling
• too much money spent elsewhere
• in the dead of baseball off-season and I'll be looking to do Leaf...
Case of 12 boxes/packs, 13 cards each. With that much you're bound to get good coverage, especially with a Leaf product. All have been listed on eBay

Why on earth do so many people sign up on eBay, bid on the item, win it, then unregister?? This happens weekly now. And not on big cards, on things usually $10 and under. And then, to top it off, eBay removes the listing completely so I can no longer send a second chance offer to the next...
So I decided many months ago to go big on Finest, being a slick design and the 20th Anniversary thing. So 5 cases arrived today (one more on route) and I busted the first. Nice, nothing too special. Started worrying about ROI and then busted the 2nd.
These are just the bigger hits:
The...
Got a case through Andrew and while I was hoping for some bigger names, I think I did alright. Love the Randy Johnson, only Johnson I've seen so far. And the Drexler is a beaut. Harry Carson is slick and the Will Clark captures that Nuschler smile, though I don't get the no logo and where's...
