Vintage Pick Up Thread
I have a couple of arrivals to report. The Jordan/Herzog arrived last week, and the Jordan came in this afternoon. I didn't think I'd pick up the J/H (it has a filthy NY Giant on it, after all!), but I was satisfied with the price. I love the solo Jordan - in person the color is much more... -
Player Collectors- Hit The Books Bookmarks
Well, crap. Now I need to keep my eyes peeled for even more? Would love to hear confirmation on ID/IA/WY/OH. Hadn't ever heard of a KS variation for 1993, or the possibility of VA "no year" -
Goose Gossage seems to be upset ... at everything
Goose is 100% right on bat flips. These punk-ass kids need to respect the game like the legends of the past. http://mweb.cbssports.com/mlb/eye-on-baseball/25438675/watch-mickey-mantle-flips-his-bat-and-it-is-awesome -
Frustrating variation stories?
I'm SO glad I got out of the Heritage game in '09. Collecting master sets used to be fun and somewhat doable, but it got crazy in '09 when SSPs got crazy. The year before with the Smoltz and Santana was the beginning of the end. In the same boat on the '92 Black Gold. The Butler is on my... -
When others find out about your obsession
Heh. I've heard the first two a lot over the years. -
Fleer Ultra is Back!
I don't think I'd classify any of Tanner's ideas as goofy. I wish the art departments at Topps had even 10% of his talent. -
Player Collectors- 2016 Topps Buybacks Stamped Cards
No Brett Butlers for either of the last two years, but Bill Butler from '75 has made an appearance both years. -
Nice but Odd Heritage Pull
Nice pull. Miller should be commended for having an actual signature instead of the scribble that adorns too many cards today. -
Vintage Pick Up Thread
Yep - looks like Chance is the only one of your players that has more than the standard green/blue infield variations: I got the checklist from teamsets4u. Dee Walsh is erroneously listed as a Yankee - he should be in the St. Louis Browns list. -
Vintage Pick Up Thread
The Yankees checklist doesn't look too intimidating. Luke Boone Frank Chance King Cole Roy Hartzell Ray Keating Fritz Maisel Roger Peckinpaugh Jeff Sweeney Dee Walsh Jimmy Walsh -
Vintage Pick Up Thread
The guy that sold me my last T3 offered me a couple of Brooklyn B18s for $100 delivered. I have no idea if that's a good value or not, plus I'm not sure they're a good fit for my collection in the first place. Edit: after a little research, it looks like there are 9 total Brooklyn players in... -
Vintage Pick Up Thread
I've been anxiously waiting to post to the vintage thread. I ordered this on 1/2, and it finally arrived after being lost/delayed/whatever back in Massachusetts. My fifth Brooklyn T-3, and my first horizontal. -
Running Hank Greenberg pickup thread!
Brian, have you ever known why Hank was traded to Pittsburgh? I certainly didn't. http://m.mlb.com/cutfour/2016/01/18/162203656/today-in-baseball-in-history-tigers-sell-hank-greenberg-to-pirates -
DiebytheCubs 1951 Bowman thread
That's a beautiful set - '50, '51, '52 and '53 Color are all gorgeous, actually. Thanks for showing off your progress. We'll look forward to more updates. -

SF Bay Area Card Shops
I thought I heard that Jeff was opening another shop. Like every town/city in the country, there used to be some decent shops in Modesto. An older guy named Jose had one out on Oakdale that I used to visit quite often. Then he moved to a spot on McHenry which wasn't nearly as good, and then I... -
Player Collectors: Do You Count Team Cards for Your Player?
Nope, not team cards or checklists. Not even cameos. -
Wanna see what's in a $6k pack of Basketball cards?
Ugh. Ugly cards, rough-looking gold sigs. Looking at sold auctions, people are getting crushed on the base cards. I can't imagine most case hits will even come close to getting the breaker back to even. It'd have to be a monster hit to make any money. -
Iwakuma signs with the Dodgers

Dodgers and Aroldis Chapman Trade Hits a BIG Snag
I hope Puig is part of the package. The longer we hold on to him, the bigger the distraction and cancer he becomes. If Andy Van Slyke is to be believed, Kershaw wants him gone. When the face of your franchise wants someone gone, it needs to happen. -
My Therapy
Another great read, Tanner. My personal faves: Chuck Norris... * can lead a horse to water and make it drink. * is so fast, he can run around the world and punch himself in the back of the head. * can kill two stones with one bird. * can count to infinity... twice. * can slam a revolving door. -
ZACK GREINKE SIGNS A 6-YEAR, $206M DEAL WITH THE DBACKS!
"Going to the playoffs is dumb." - Zack Greinke i can imagine this contract haunting Arizona in four years. I can imagine a comparable one haunting the Dodgers or Giants had they landed him. -

1955 Topps baseball cello rip on CU
Another red flag to some is the absence of any roller marks on any of the other 19 cards. It does seem weird that certain characteristics of the Clemente aren't present on the others.
