    A Cautionary Fail: My Topps.com Story

    11/5/2015: Topps releases Topps Fire Metallic Edition Baseball as an online exclusive at Topps.com. The 35 card set is printed on standard size aluminum stock, features the same cool design from the wall art line and has a great checklist. I determine that this is a good investment and order one...

    3200 count storage boxes

    Does anyone know if BCW has recently changed the dimensions of their 4 row 3200 count half-lid storage boxes? I have been buying and using these for years so I was surprised when I purchased some last week and the new ones were 1.25" wider than the old ones. The rows in the old boxes were just...

    2014 Topps Photography: Hits and Misses

    I don't post often, but I thought this might be a fun topic worth starting. On the whole, the photography in Topps flagship has been very good the past few years...however some of the shots they select leave a lot to be desired and aren't especially flattering. For example Topps has captured...

    Shipping/packaging sets question

    As I mentioned in an earlier thread I broke a few cases of 2012 Ginter and I've finally got the base sorted to the point that I can start listing the sets for sale. The master set this year is 504 cards and I'm having a hard time figuring out how to ship these safely and economically. 2 300ct...

    Anyone have tips for getting autographs at Angel Stadium?

    I'm a huge Dodger fan so I haven't been down to a game in Anaheim in ages. My brother is an Angel fan so I'm taking him to the Sunday night game versus the Rangers for his birthday. My brother wants to get there for batting practice so we'll definitely be there early and I have a huge stack of...

    A phantastic phinish to my 2012 Allen and Ginter Break

    I broke four cases of Ginter over the weekend and am STILL in the process of sorting everything, but I wanted to showoff a bit before I post the full results in the Box Break forum once I'm all finished. I opened up the last box in the fourth case and saw a super thick pack sitting on top. I...

    Need suggestions for shipping 2012 Ginter Currency Cabinet cards

    The Currency of the World cabinet cards from 2012 Allen and Ginter are super thick (much thicker than I expected). I have 6x9 toploaders, but there is no way these cards are fitting in there. I'm looking for suggestions on how to package these properly so they don't get dinged up too bad when...

    eBay Stories Blog - Joe DiMaggio “bat knob” card: $7K

    I saw this on the eBay homepage just now. The bat knob cards seem to have caught someone's eye there. The write up was definitely done by someone who isn't familiar with the hobby, but the best part are the comments. Responding to a story about a card that will sell for thousands of dollars...

    Two different people today trying to give me LaCock. Immature? Yes, but I thought it would still be good for a laugh. :P

    2011 Topps Chrome checklist

    I'm thinking about putting in a pre-order for a few boxes of this, but the only preliminary checklist I can find is from April. What are the chances the rookie checklist gets updated? I would love to see Jerry Sands and Dee Gordon in this product, even if it is just a non-auto rookie card...

    2011 Topps Series 1 Checklist Oddity

    While patiently waiting for the delivery of my Series 1 Jumbo case I have been eyeballing the tentative checklist to see what I can expect to pull (as well as what I cannot expect, but hope to pull). When I got to the Topps 60 Autographs something struck me as being out of place on a non-cut...

    1 Box 2007 UD Masterpieces/2 Boxes 2008 Upper Deck Heroes

    I've already gotten my fill of Topps and Bowman Chrome so I decided to get my wax fix this weekend opening two products I have never opened before...ever! I got back into collecting seriously last year so it was nice to take a look at some products I missed while I was away. It took only one...

    2001 Greats of the Game Willie Stargell (No) Auto

    I have been slowly (very slowly) putting together the 2001 Greats of the Game Autograph set and I am hoping someone here has some more information on the Willie Stargell card. I know that redemption cards were inserted into packs for this card and that Stargell passed away before the cards...
