    Old school FCB Late night live break...

    I miss Fleer. They made such cool insert sets.

    R.I.P Dick Allen...

    Allen's OPS+ is tied with Willie Mays and Frank Thomas, and is one ahead of Hank Aaron. He's one of the most underrated sluggers ever.

    Reggie Jackson or Ken Griffey Sr. autographed balls available

    I have a feeling a lot of people unknowingly bought the Griffey thinking it's Jr. instead of Sr. since it sold out so quickly.

    Anbolic steroid Stanozolol. What a dumbass.

    Penn Emblems

    The Penn Emblems were made five years before Strawberry even played.

    Penn Emblems

    They remind me of the patches on the wristbands that many players wore in the '80s and early '90s.

    October - New Arrivals Thread

    Gorgeous Gwynn! That’s one of my favorite sets. Deadman31, what’s that ‘91 Donruss sheet with the unique Griffey photo? Is it a preproduction sample?

    RIP Jay Johnstone, one of baseball's great pranksters and World Series Champions

    ESPN -- LOS ANGELES -- Jay Johnstone, who won World Series championships as a versatile outfielder with the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers while being baseball's merry prankster, has died. He was 74. He died Saturday of complications from COVID-19 and had suffered from dementia in...

    Seattle area sports card shops (1990's and beyond)

    Wow, I wish I kept business cards of all of the card shops I went to. That’s cool. I can’t even remember a lot of the names of the shops I liked back then. I grew up in a North Dallas suburb as a kid/teenager in the golden era of baseball card shops in the ‘80s and early ‘90s. There were three...

    What do you do with base cards?

    I love base cards. If you’re a baseball fan, how can you not love looking at the pictures and reading the backs? I’m a set collector too, so all cards have the same fun value to me, regardless of what they’re worth. It’s weird to me that people buy boxes and cast aside the base cards without...

    RIP Lou. We've lost three Hall of Famers in the past five months, Brock, Seaver and Kaline.

    Video of Pat Neshek's autograph collection.

    Cool video showing how pitcher Pat Neshek collects autographs. Yeah, the video is sponsored by eBay, but it's still good. Wish it was longer though.

    Mookie and the Dodgers...

    Another terrible contract for a team with too much money. 13 years is insane. He'll be 40 when it's over. He's an elite fielder and runner, but those skills will diminish significantly 5+ years before the contract ends. Betts is a great player, but inconsistent. One year he hits .346, the...

    Nelson Cruz 500 HR?

    Slim chance since I doubt a team will sign him at age 40+. But his stats are tainted anyway, since he was suspended 50 games for using steroids several years ago, so I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s back on the juice or HGH to post these stats at his age.

    Do you think that Prince Fielder will eventually get inducted into the Hall of Fame?

    If longtime stars like Jim Edmonds, Carlos Delgado and Kenny Lofton can’t even get 5% of the HOF vote to stay on the ballot past the first year, there’s no way Fielder with his shortened career makes it past the first ballot. It’s a shame because he had 8 great years and was definitely on track...

    Holy crap, that's one of my favorite sets of all time. Those pictures make me drool. I have the base set and several of them autographed that I sent to players through the mail back in the day. Mostly Yankees.
