    Just what the hobby needs, a $900 pack

    I am glad I was not the only one who looked at this product and wondered how pissed off I would be when I opened the box......any box. There is not one item in there that would make me happy I spent that kind of money.

    My favorite FCB image

    I have been been posting with some photos etc but of course you know that. When the fall arrives I will certainly write more but my slant is more on vintage which I am not sure appeals as much to the audience on these boards. My hope is that we draw members from across a larger spectrum that...

    An airing of grievances

    I have a Twitter account but never use it and do not get alerts to anything new...ever but I can tell you for some reason I am now getting FCB alerts on Twitter. Something must be working right! LOL

    Tim Tebow pursuing Baseball

    A friend of mine is in the Boomers front office and he feels there is little to no chance of landing him but they wanted to be the first to offer to get the publicity. As for affording him, he will probably get the standard contract and the ability to show if he can play or not plus some added...

    An airing of grievances

    I certainly can Wes. I believe one writer in particular is a member here and it would be worth asking him if he would like to contribute. I will work on this during the week and get you information by the weekend. Many of the guys I know are at the National right now.

    An airing of grievances

    You are right Chris, I do remember the turnover but those who have the keys now just have not done enough to drive traffic to this site. I had thought that those that have stayed around and tried to create content or at least contribute to the boards would be consulted for ideas but to my...

    An airing of grievances

    One cannot disagree with this statement as I think a large number of former posters feel the same way. When I think about what takes me to hobby sites I visit daily is the fact there is always new, fresh hobby information being posted. It doesnt matter if this information is being gleaned from...

    Photo of the Day....May 28, 1966 Clemente meets the Astrodome

    The Houston Astrodome had opened in 1965 and provided Major League Baseball the first opportunity for a baseball game to be played inside with zero threat of the weather washing out a game. The Astrodome also provided opportunities for new angles of the grand old game like the one I have posted...

    An airing of grievances

    I guess I am glad I still use a laptop or Ipad to access the site and only carry a cheap 20 dollar phone to make phone calls and texts.

    TTM & IP Successes for July - September 2016

    Does anyone have an address for former Pirates pitcher (and flash in the pan) Paul Miller? Miller pitched in the early to mid '90's before have arm issues and retiring from baseball. He had a few Fleer Ultra and Topps and Bowman cards but I somehow lost track of him. He grew up in the town I...

    Question for the group regarding Hall of Fame eligibility...

    You cannot hide the history of the game but you can certainly uphold the values and the rules that have been set in place to ensure that all played on a .....excuse the pun...level playing field. You break the rules (steroids, betting, whatever) you get punished by the rules that were in place...

    Question for the group regarding Hall of Fame eligibility...

    You are right in that the makeup of the committees will be the telltale sign as to who will be let into the Hall. So the next obvious questions is, under the new rules.....who has the best shot at enshrinement over the course of the next three+ years? Murphy? Garvey? Trammel and Whitaker? I...

    Question for the group regarding Hall of Fame eligibility...

    So I have a question for the group...... With the new veteran committees that have been formed by the Hall of Fame this past weekend, what are the chances of a guy who won 283 games in his career with 180 complete games with over 2400 strike outs and who won 16 gold gloves in his career...

Vin has seen players and coaches come and go while being the one steady voice of reason throughout nearly seven decades. In his career, baseball has seen the...

    Topps and New Era Cap Company team up

    By the silence I am assuming we were all right about you and your business model. Seems like a shady business you are running there.

    Topps and New Era Cap Company team up

    I am am just curious as to what is your business model? Do you at least admit to buying hats just to get packs of cards and then returning the hats all in the interest of keeping the cards?

    Topps and New Era Cap Company team up

    Are the cards even worth all that work? While I have no doubt returns will be in this guys future I am not impressed and cannot believe collectors will make it worth this guys time.
