    Photo(s) of the day......The Babe

    Babe Ruth has been the epitome of baseball for over a century and his lasting legacy has not been diminished over time. It is amazing to me that Ruth may be known by as many people today as he was during his playing days. If you ask the average man or woman on the street to name a baseball...

    FS FS: 2000 Pacific Aurora TOM BRADY rookie

    I have for sale a 2000 Pacific Aurora Tom Brady rookie card that is #84 in the set. This card was a surprise to me as I was cleaning out an old box of cards that have not been looked through in 15 years and I found this tucked among a large lot of Pacific football cards from the same year...

    Photo of the Day....the Ol' Professor and the rookie

    i loved Bushville Wins but then I live just 45 minutes from Milwaukee. I was fascinated with the '57 and '58 series as the Yankes stayed in a very small town not far from where I live and many locals still have stories to tell when Mantle, Berra and Ford invaded their community during both...

    Photo of the Day....the Ol' Professor and the rookie

    Its been awhile since I have posted a photo of the day but I ran across a photo I thought was pretty cool. This photo shows New York Mets skipper Casey Stengel no doubt trying to impart his wisdom on Mets rookie Ed Kranepool in 1962. Now there is a great deal going on in this photo. First...

    Yanks21 New York Yankees Autograph collection

    Mike Meyers graduated about a decade after I did from my high school and was an awesome pitcher while he was there. I had heard he does not sign much but then again, I am not sure he is asked all that much. He had a decent career and won a World Series so one would think he is in some demand.

    Setting aside prospecting.....Does anyone "invest" in sportscards and had a decent return

    If I had to take a side on this discussion I think I would side with this assessment the most. I do think any significant opportunity to make any nice money in this hobby is gone. Sure, if you stumble on a pristine and untouched collection that includes some nice vintage you will make your...

    Setting aside prospecting.....Does anyone "invest" in sportscards and had a decent return

    Setting aside prospecting.....Does anyone "invest" in sportscards and had a decent return So I got to thinking about future investments such as stocks, bonds and other well known investment strategies but I know next to nothing about these options. I have always been told to educate myself...

    OT - Anyone ever go to the PSA forums?

    I would love to know what board you are a member of now with some past members. If you would not mind, could you PM me the information....if not I fully understand.

    OT - Anyone ever go to the PSA forums?

    The PSA boards were at one time the "go to" boards for information about our hobby but now the boards are just a shadow of their former self. I do know many people have migrated to the Net54 boards which is well moderated and just filled with members who know their stuff. From 1800's cards to...

    RIP Muhammed Ali

    Come on...you are better than that. Why does everything have to turn into a political discussion? I am asking a serious question to find others thoughts on this and you post this crap. Keep this political stuff to the general boards.

    Topps and New Era Cap Company team up

    Ooops sorry. I read it wrong and thought the promotion was already in full swing. I still stand by my thoughts in that this is a program that will fail unless changes are made. I hope I am wrong.

    RIP Muhammed Ali

    You may be on to something here. History will show that he did indeed fight and go through the proper channels where others just ran off to Canada. I cannot help but wonder if his actual fight to stay out of the draft and doing it the right way helped to absolve him in the eyes of Americans...

    Topps and New Era Cap Company team up

    I can see this promotion going bad quickly. You have minimum wage employees seeing an opportunity to make some easy money by selling off these packs to someone who is going to come around waving some cash. Lets be honest. These types of promotions never do well and are usually taken advantage...

    RIP Muhammed Ali

    I remember seeing him fight a few times and watched him hundreds of times on television promoting himself. An awesome humanitarian and a decent human being. Now...all that being said I have a question for the group. I have no opinion either way but I have always been fascinated by the love...

    Bible Study group leads to huge Baseball Card find

    Let's talk about another huge find of cards that have never seen the light of day in the hobby. If you know anything about Old Judge cards you know conditions like this are just not out there. This is like finding one hundred '52 Mantles in 9's and 10's...

    Bible Study group leads to huge Baseball Card find

    Agreed. I know of so many collectors who do not frequent any message boards and their only connection to the hobby is visiting card shows or making an occasional Ebay purchase for their collection. I would venture a guess to say that the total of all hobby message board users are just a very...

    Bible Study group leads to huge Baseball Card find

    Many in this hobby have said that these types of finds no longer exist. I am of the belief that there are thousands of collections like this that exist in closets and attics from collectors who do not want the spotlight shown on them. This is an awesome find and it is very cool to see those...

    The curious case of 1987 Topps #700 Dave Bergman

    I dont think there is any rhyme or reason as to why Topps chose Bergman since, as you mentioned, these card numbers were usually saved for the perennial mega star player. Since Bergman was not even considered a star let alone a superstar that year, he must have been a last minute fill in for...

    Any insight on this Ted Williams knob?

    Numbers on bat knobs such as this are nothing more than a way for the player to identify their own gamer in the bat rack. Sizes, serial numbers etc are typically burned into the knob and would not typically be written in marker and would have no real value to the ball player in identifying his...

    The bittersweet feeling of selling your collection

    In 40+ years of collecting I have sold off my collection maybe three or four times and each time I had the same feeling as you. Recently we ran into a bit of a money issue and I sold the one set I had always wanted to build and was the focus on my collecting for the last year or so. Honestly...

    Looks Like Wossa is selling some stuff...

    So how much money can one estimate that the has lost on these "investments" over the years? I can only assume his losses are a great deal larger than his wins.

    Happy Birthday Willie

    No cards to show but a few of my favorite photos of the birthday boy! I am sure this one is colorized but what a beautiful picture it is. Mays final game at the Polo Grounds as a member of the New York Giants And finally, Mays at the Polo Grounds

    Remember when...

    Clemente, Cobb and Wagner were probably a good deal more expensive than what the price guide is quoting because they were deceased but remember, when that book was first published (around 1981 or so) there were still a great many hall of fame players who signed through the mail as it was not the...
