    Is there anything which can "destroy" the hobby?

    It's all about the money. Once companies can't make money on something they leave it behind. Maybe someone tries to come in to save it, but look at other past things like rubik's cube. Sure they make them still, but they can't be found everywhere & they quality is not the same. And yes Baseball...

    Baseball card terms no longer used

    Flipping - nobody flips cards anymore. You remember bringing your Topps cards to school and having to match the same color of the cards your friends had, then you won the pile. You would also flip cards (3 if I remember and then your friend would have to match what your 3 cards were - so you had...

    After madbum's performance, I miss this card

    I miss my Bumgarner collection too. Had over 20 autos at one point and 3 of the 15 from Tri-Star that were signed by him and David Price. Glad he is killing it, great kid!

    That is why you are the King of this thread! Congrats on the nice sales. Do you venture into other items like household, jewelry or china/pottery?

    I know it's been asked before...where else can you sell other than eBay?

    Thanks. While those are all acceptable ideas, none come close to the traffic that horrible eBay has. It seems like they dislike small time sellers more and more. Ok I'm done with the eBay rant, sorry

    I know it's been asked before...where else can you sell other than eBay?

    My last 2 sales, both non-payments! Ebay does nothing for sellers except keep screwing them, so where else have you guys gone to sell stuff?

    RIP Oscar Taveras

    Very sad news. 22 years old and a huge future in front of him. If you are say 10 years or more older just think of the amount of things you have done (maybe you got married, had kids, broguth a house etc). It is always so strange and tragic to hear of anyone dying so young because in that short...

    $5 box at flea market lands nice stuff

    Nice find! I often pay about $5 or $6 for the carrying cases that hold die-cast cars and have been getting them with the cars included for 7 or 8 bucks lately.

    The Thrift Store Thread - Sports Edition

    Rum love your toy finds...I'm jealous, all I have been finding toy related lately is broken transformers - not even old ones and lots of McDonald toys. I got lots of stuff this weekend, but nothing sports related so I won't bore you guys with it, but I think I should make a nice profit when I...

    Nice little $10 Garage Sale Find

    Sweet finds! PS2 games for 25 cents...winner!!! Plus for 10 bucks, the Topps sets are easily worth that for the fact that a lot of people will build complete factory set runs for their kids. My garage sale hunting has sucked lately. There is so much to learn about the many items you see and can...

    My first bat barrel!

    When I saw the barrel and didn't look who posted, I was hoping to see your sig on the bottom. Figured it would be in a good place.

    Great addition. Nice when a card company gets the design right!

    Babe Ruth "E" Bat Knob - Why??

    NO, there is simply NO defense for this!!! Topps is a Baseball card company and they probably shelled out a few bucks on that to put it into a card. The fact that they let that go through like that is a perfect reflection of what a piss poor product they make and how little they care about their...
