    Value and thoughts on authenticity of Jackie Robinson & Dodgers team signed ball

    I can tell you the Dodgers baseballs from this era are laden with Clubhouse signatures and I would proceed with caution before laying out any money for it. I would suggest you go to the Net54 boards and posting this on the autograph section and some of the best autograph experts will give you...

    Great book. I worked with the author's son for a few years. Good luck on the sale!

    Vintage Pick Up Thread

    After taking a few years off to get my head around some things I dipped my toes in the vintage pool and pulled a few cards out. I thought I would look for 50's Topps or Bowman cards of star players that I could afford that had excellent eye appeal but would not break the bank. I am not a fan...

    I just saw the scan. The work computer blocked me so I had to go to the Ipad. I agree....nice cards for a $35 dollar shot. I wasn't expecting PSA 8's that's for sure. I think I might be in for at least one spot.

    I have never participated in a break but the 33 Goudy break does sound interesting. Reading the fine print there is a great deal of trimmed and "authentic" cards in the mix which would tell me that unless you hit one of the four Ruths or the Gehrig the break might be disappointing. I would...

    Babe's Called Shot

    Thats the beauty of baseball and it's history, the lore and legend can continue despite the facts and to me, that is a good thing!!

    Babe's Called Shot

    If we stay with the facts we know that he was just lucky as even Ruth admitted many times he never called his shot. But this is a story that will continue into infinity with those on both sides believing what they know to be true. As I mentioned I had the great opportunity to talk to many...

    Babe's Called Shot

    Actually we do know: The origin of the "called shot" "As soon as the ball left Ruth’s bat in the fifth inning, Davis J. Walsh, sports editor of the International News Service, “leaped to his feet and shouted, ‘Hey, he hit it exactly where he had pointed.’” From the pitcher Charlie Root...

    Who Signed The 2016 Topps Heritage Jim Owens Cards?

    I think many would rather ignore the fact that the man's son came her to defend him but instead look for ways to discredit Mr. Owens son. Sure, he took exception with Therion but lets be honest, if that was my dad Therion was talking about I would be all up in his face too as it is only...

    What's the worse thing to happen to this hobby?

    I guess we all have our perspectives but to lump all of those who sold their collection in one bucket and discount them is probably unwise to say the least. As I mentioned before, yes I sold my collection a few times and it was never about the money. My collection and that of my fathers was so...

    What's the worse thing to happen to this hobby?

    All one needs to do is find a hobby magazine or publication from before grading took a foothold on the hobby and see just how much of a domino impact grading has had on our hobby. Allow me to explain. Previously, grading was subjective but most could certainly agree on the guidelines of...

    What's the worse thing to happen to this hobby?

    I may be one of the few members of this board that started collecting when there was only one manufacturer and remember how cool it was to get new cards as the summer progressed as cards were issued in series and not all at once. Fleer and Donruss came around in 1981 and we were all blown away...

    FCB Virtual Sports Card Show Volume 3 August 24th

    Putting my "table" together now for this event. Mostly 25 cent to dollar cards but hey...every show needs a few dealers with cheap boxes to pick through right?

    Players income from trading cards

    The players make the better money through the use of their likeness through the players association. I know when I worked in MLB in the 80's the players were all getting around 80K per year as their cut of the licensing agreement which was negotiated by the union. As for today I have no idea.

    Bartman gets WS ring

    Steve just sent a press release thanking the Cubs and stated how he and his family will treasure the ring. Good for Him. I am glad he is at least accepting something for the hell he was put through.
