Need Help SCAMMMED
Serious question, would the cops care about a $30 card? Postal inspector (mail fraud)? Just wondering. -

Wow, what a sale. $10,000 for a Jeter '98 Bowman Chrome Golden Anniversary Refractor.
I remember getting two boxes back in the day and pulling a Tom Glavine /5. This was before ebay was huge, and I was pretty psyched when I sold it for $50 on the old aol boards. I think I even remember the buyer (BigBoyd sports cards or something?), who was someone buying up a lot of really low... -

Name A Forgotten Once-Big Prospect
Need to mention Chris Marrero - who Beckett once compared to Albert Pujols. -

Name A Forgotten Once-Big Prospect
Really, you're going to base it on W/L record? He has a sub-3.00 career ERA, and a career K/9 of 10.6.... I'd give it more time! -

Rookie Cards That You Should Own, but Probably Don’t
I thought the same thing when I saw those values! I love Brooks, and own a PSA7 RC of his, but Frank's #s just trounce Brooks'. (Full disclosure, I also own a raw Frank card...) -

Home plate collision- Y/N
Home Plate Collision You're joking right? Frankly, when it's clear the runner is going out of his way to contact/hurt a player and could have slid in any # of ways to score, the umpire should have the discretion on a play like that to call the runner out, as they do when a runner slides into... -

Home plate collision- Y/N
That's 100 percent a dirty play. The runner wasn't even aware of where the plate was--he had to crawl back and touch it. He's easily safe if he slides. There's no problem with a play like that if the catcher is up the line and blocking the plate but Jerolman wasn't even close to blocking the... -

Collecting in the 80's
I started collecting in the 80s and I remember the emergence of Fleer and Donruss. My mom wouldn't let me buy them because she thought they were inferior to Topps -- until the 87 donruss Canseco card became like a $100 card. I remember buying one at a flea market for like $60 bucks and thinking... -

When did these get so cheap? 05 BDP Zim Autos
I remember when his regular BDP Chrome auto - not X, nor blue - were $90. I know because I bought one way back when... -

Panini opens a box of Pinnacle - This saved me some money
I actually think it looks pretty decent, and does a decent job of channeling some of the old Pinnacle releases. My only gripe (this comes from the player collector side of my brain) is with the Artist Proof parallels - PLEASE do more than just put a stamp on the card. There was one year of... -

Washington Nationals - offensively challenged?
Harper is clearly a distraction to the Nationals. Did you see everyone run out to home plate after his last at-bat Thursday? Geesh. -

Washington Nationals - offensively challenged?
Strasburg's night was actually historic: first pitcher in the modern era (since 1901) ever to go 8 innings, give up one run, strike out 12, walk none, and get the loss. -

Washington Nationals - offensively challenged?
A big distraction? He's one of the few players on the team with any heart or passion. He also missed 30-plus games in the first half and played hurt in others, so his numbers are skewed lower. I'll take anyone's bet that if he doesn't hit the DL again, he'll hit more than 21 home runs this year. -

Washington Nationals - offensively challenged?
Yeah, you're right, though it's better now since Zach Duke and Henry Rodriguez are gone. Krol has been a nice surprise and Clippard has been very good. I can't quite figure Storen out though. -

Washington Nationals - offensively challenged?
The starting pitching has been good enough. I don't know how to quantify it, but it seems that they're almost too patient at the plate and not aggressive enough. So many called third strikes, and this seems to be a reflection of Jayson Werth's approach that has caught on with guys like Ryan... -

Need some project ideas
How about Twins with World Series rings -- there'd be some overlap between the 87 and 91 teams I would imagine. Puckett might be pricey but not sure if there are others that have died. I'm doing something similar (albeit slowly) with the Redskins.- Todd44

Unbelievable Gift
And to the above point about how rare it is to get such a good hobby-related gift, I'll second that. My wife's parents for Christmas got me an 800 count box full of 80s and 90s junk wax, probably off the home shopping network or something. I appreciated the gesture though and held on to them... -

Congrats JEBJJA for winning a box of 2013 Pastime Collection: Enshrined Edition!
I'd go with Cy Young and Walter Johnson. Two of the most fantastic pitchers of all time (and a Washington connection for me...)! -

He was Rookie of the Year?
I don't think the sentiment is that most guys that busted were undeserving (except in some cases where the stats bear it out), but when a guy wins the ROY award, there is certainly the expectation at the time that they're going to go on to at least a quality MLB career. So looking back it's... -
