109 Pictures of Customs, Nostalgia, Toys, and More! My Year in the Hobby So Far
Hey guys! It has been a loooooong time since I have posted here. I was going to post my article in, but the site isn't letting me. Apparently there is a 10,000 character and 20 image limit per post. Instead, I'll post a link to my article on my site with a couple pics here of some of my... -
Atomic Superfractor! My latest custom utilizes Canseco's 1st ever mini Superfractor
When Topps revived the Allen & Ginter name, they did a remarkable job staying true to the brand, while introducing some really, and I mean realllly cool cards. Metal, stained glass, silk, wood, glow in the dark, rip, framed/not-framed, etc. It seemed to be only a matter of time when Topps... -
1888 Yum Yum Tobacco – The 19th Century Evangelist & The Pirate
You've probably heard of Old Judge, Gypsy Queen, Allen & Ginter, and Goodwin. But have you heard of Yum Yum Tobacco? If you are not a 19th century baseball card aficionado, the odds are you haven't. They are among the rarest of the rare, and perhaps possess one of the greatest names for a... -
Remember when Canseco shot himself in the finger? I created some customs using the bullets!
“You know, it's funny,” Canseco said. “I didn't realize I had shot my own finger off. ... Canseco then attempted to minimize the blood loss by lifting the hand over his head and squeezing on his wrist. He went to find his fiancée and told her, “Listen, I'm sorry, but I just shot my finger off.”... -
Customs of Past & Present - When Wade Boggs Gets Involved, Things Get Interesting!
I have zero problems chopping up junk wax ip signed cards, but I agree with you that it would have looked "cleaner" if we could have used blank white backed signed pieces. That said, I do think using cards like this adds to the "charm" of it if that makes sense. I have a huge jumbo booklet of... -
Customs of Past & Present - When Wade Boggs Gets Involved, Things Get Interesting!
In that same vein, I just created this one this past week of Kayla. She is an *amazing* player, and the piece below is actually the largest baseball related piece I've ever done! I LOVE the lion face logo. Since Christmas is just around the corner, I thought I'd share once again my custom... -
Customs of Past & Present - When Wade Boggs Gets Involved, Things Get Interesting!
A while back, I was doing some spring cleaning, and ran across these gems - they are believed to be my first ever custom cards! How'd I do? Apparently 12 year old Tanner left 41 year old Tanner an Easter egg that I didn't notice until now. Check the copyright on the Sosa LOL As the years... -

Id looooooove to dive head first into that -
Show Off Your Display Setup! Here's Mine ...
Over the past couple of years, I found that I enjoy displaying pieces of my collection in my office nearly as much as the pieces themselves! For the first time, I thought I'd show you my office in 360. This was inspired by the 11/07/21 podcast episode I just did last night at... -

O Bash Brother, Where Art Thou?
Many times when I sell, it isn't near and dear ... until it is gone LOL! BTW ... MrMet2.0? Did you get an upgrade or something? -
O Bash Brother, Where Art Thou?
Have you ever been in this situation before? You go on a collecting "purge" to move things you aren't in love with, only to find out you wished you never sold one or two of the pieces in the first place. That's what happened to me when I gave up what I now consider to be the ULTIMATE Bash... -

Show off your favorite Multi Player Card!
If I had to pick my favorite dual card, I'd say it is this one. I lost out on it a couple years ago, then bought out the guy who beat me. I had never seen one before or since. Canseco and Clark were front and center for the Battle of the Bay (the 1989 Earthquake World Series) - it was a... -
My Honus Wagner Rookie Turns 122 Years Old Today!
I researched the heck out of it when I first picked it up - and now I don't recall my findings, haha. I think there was some suspicion as to it being created later, but I don't recall. -
My Honus Wagner Rookie Turns 122 Years Old Today!
As we all know by now, the rightful spot of the #1 highest selling card once again belongs to a T206 Wagner which just sold for $6.6 million dollars. Days prior, Nicholas Cage sold his house for $6 million. It is amazing to think that someone paid more money for a little piece of cardboard... -

I Created Four Custom Jumbo Patch Cards for my Collection
Recently, I was shown an amazing collection of jumbo patch cards of various players. I *LOVE* jumbo patch cards - the problem is that my favorite player doesn't have too terribly many of them, and far fewer logo jumbo patch cards. I thought I'd "go back to my roots" and create some cards of my... -
