    2002 Donruss Originals Hobby Box

    Got a great price on this and will be opening it tonight (technically it will be my family back in the states and I'll be following along on Skype - shipping to NZ is a little bit expensive). I'll try and update the best I can as it goes along. I know someone here is working on the master set so...

    Purchased a lot of 80's-2000's cards - who wants to see what I found?

    Since moving to New Zealand I haven't had many chances to scratch my collecting itch. I still purchase cards on eBay and have them shipped to my family in the states but that's not quite the same as having cards "in hand". There's a site called Trade Me here which is sort of a hybrid...

    Is it wrong to cheer for A-Rod?

    I wrote some words about A-Rod: https://vivalavidro.wordpress.com/2015/04/26/redemption-song-a-rod-slugs-his-way-out-of-purgatory/ What are your thoughts on the issue?

    It's time to play....REAL OR FAKE!

    Got these for what I thought was a reasonable price. I don't do much vintage so any help would be appreciated.

    2001 SP Game Used Jersey Mystery Swatch?

    Some of the Tampa Bay Rays in 2001 SP Game Used edition have pinstripes on the jersey swatches. Not only that, but the jerseys also feel quite old compared to the other swatches, almost wool-like. I own a handful of them and there are quite a few like this McGriff available on eBay. They look a...

    I got a kick out of the football team of Pokemon put together on Kinja so I figured I'd give it a try with baseball: https://vivalavidro.wordpress.com/2015/02/03/gotta-catch-em-all-the-ultimate-pokemon-baseball-roster/ How'd I do fellow nerds? Any potential Pokemon all-stars I left out?

    12 Packs 2000 Topps Tek

    I won a lot of 20 loose packs of 2000 Topps Tek on eBay but unfortunately only 12 showed up in an open box (thanks USPS! The seller made it right though so good on him). I live in NZ so my younger brother opened them with me over Skype. The results? Bleh... 2 Griffeys (PC) 0 Color Variations...

    I just saw one of these sell on eBay (somebody got a steal at $100) and I couldn't find any completed listings or information on-line. Anyone know how rare this card is?

    Nightmare on Royal Brougham: The Chone Figgins Story

    It's pretty obvious that I've forgiven Chone Figgins for his sins against the Mariners: http://vivalavidro.wordpress.com/2014/04/02/nightmare-on-royal-brougham-the-chone-figgins-story/ Yep. I have totally moved on.

    Does Anyone Have a BGS 1-10 Run of a Single Card?

    The same card graded BGS 1, BGS 2, BGS 3....BGS 10? I would love to do this with the 1989 UD Griffey someday.

    Harpooned a Griffey White Whale!

    I've been looking for this card for a long time, and even though I probably overpaid, I was thrilled to add it to my Junior collection. Anyone know how rare this card is? I haven't seen many. Thanks for looking!

    Griffey #1/1 Mailday

    I know not everyone is crazy about printing plates but I was excited to add this to my Griffey PC. Really like the way Upper Deck adds the frame to the plates; this particular one is from 2004 Sweet Spot. Thanks for looking!

    Heritage Value Questions

    I know this forum has a lot of Heritage collectors so I thought this would be the place to ask. I picked these cards up in a trade last week and couldn't find any completed listings. Any input would be greatly appreciated! I also picked up this card (#54/100) and was wondering about it's...

    Robbie Grossman Superfractor Auto

    Anyone else surprised by the ending price on this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... true&rt=nc My max bid was quite a bit lower. I know he had a good AFL, but I sure wasn't expecting this.
