Let’s start a debate - immaculate innings
I think a lot of it has to do with luck, similar to normally-mediocre or bad pitchers throwing no-hitters. Sure some great pitchers have thrown Immaculate Innings, but about half of the list from the past five years also includes such legendary fireballers as: Chris Martin Thomas Pannone Zac... -
Help with 1955 Topps cards — counterfeit?
Can't help much with counterfeit advice (post on the Net54baseball.com boards for that). But it looks like those cards were kept in a wallet with the massive creases in the center. Almost looks like water damage too with all of the surface wrinkling. The Clemente's corners look nice compared... -
Verlander gets No-No No.3
Strange how this guy's getting better in his late 30s. If this were the '90s or '00s, I'd say something's fishy. Still's a little odd compared to other pitchers in history. -
Andrew Luck
There's about to be a massive fire sale on eBay of previously $800 Andrew Luck rookie autographed cards. -
Andrew Luck
Yeah, he says he's "mentally worn down." He just got married too. I wonder how much influence his wife had in making this decision. -
EDIT: Nevermind, glitch on ESPN's stats page.
Oh good, so it was a glitch and I wasn't going senile. -
EDIT: Nevermind, glitch on ESPN's stats page.
EDIT: Disregard this nonsensical thread. There was a glitch on ESPN's stats page last night when I looked up the league leaders, because it showed the following: I had to do a double take looking at the league stats leaders tonight. Whit Merrifield is leading the AL with a .299 batting... -
boy oh boy do the Cubs SUCK.
The Cubs suck? Sure, on the road they're bad, but only three teams in the entire National League have more wins than the Cubs and they're just a game out of first place. You Cubs fans have become so spoiled since they won the World Series, while most other teams' fans suffer much worse than you do. -
7 million card collection news report
Is that guy Tramers? I wish the report would have explained how he actually acquires these cards when the card shop turns down the sellers. Does the shop buy them and then he pays the dealer? Does the dealer refer the seller to this man? How much does this guy pay for junk wax cards? Does he... -
MiLB taco eating contest ends badly...
Damn, that's dark. From the thread title I expected it to be something funny like the mass vomiting scene during the pie eating contest in Stand By Me. -
-
25 years ago today (8/12/94) was a dark day in MLB history. The start of the 1994 strike.
The 1994 MLB strike began 25 years ago today, leading to the cancellation of the season and World Series. The baseball card hobby was also hit hard by the strike. What are your memories of the strike? Did it affect your collecting? Were you more upset at the players or owners? Did the strike... -
Dig Out Your 2014 Bowman Chrome Aristides Aquino Autos - ASAP!
Great example of why some prospectors (not you guys) are morons, paying $300 for cards of a .248 lifetime hitter over eight freakin’ seasons in the minors because of ten MLB at bats. Sell before these idiots realize how stupid they are. -
Tim Beckham 80 day suspension
And of course he gives the lame agent-written "I didn't know" excuse in a statement: "I was given a product from a trusted source, who had advised me that it was safe to take. Regrettably, the product was tainted. I accept full responsibility for putting myself in this position. I sincerely... -
Kirby Puckett Custom
Cool. Take it a step further and use a real NES cartridge and put your custom label on it. Just buy a cheap one for a couple bucks and glue on yours. -
Yordan Alvarez is incredible.
I don’t follow prospects anymore, so an article today about Yordan Alvarez surprised me. I knew he’s had a hot start with the Astros, but today he set the MLB record with 35 rbi in his first 30 games, breaking Pujols’ rookie mark. And he’s hitting .342 with 11 home runs. Before he was called... -
New Baseball Card movie on YouTube
I was excited to see this, but within minutes, I was disappointed in this scripted and badly acted "documentary." The film begins with a group of people having what looks like a baseball card picnic in a grassy field, opening boxes of '80s and '90s cards with the sun setting. The ending... -
Angels throw No-Hitter on Tyler Skaggs Tribute night.
How amazing is that? The Angels, all wearing the same Tyler Skaggs 45 jerseys, with Skaggs’ mother throwing a perfect strike for the first pitch, combine for a No-Hitter against the Mariners. It was the Angels’ first home game since Skaggs died. Taylor Cole and Felix Pena were the pitchers... -
Dwight Gooden arrested for using cocaine again.
Such a shame. By all accounts, Gooden is a great guy who does lots of charity work and volunteering, and is still beloved by Mets and Yankees fans. He was one of my favorite players growing up. Hopefully he can finally beat this disease. ESPN -- Former major league pitcher Dwight "Doc" Gooden... -
Video Matching a CRAZY Patch + Insane Patch Collection Showoff!
Some of those look too crazy to be real. -
All Star Game Thread
I thought it was cool how both managers gave a lot of different pitchers a chance to play. Usually the starter is left in 2 or sometimes 3 innings. Both managers used exactly 9 pitchers, with a different pitcher in each inning. Nice the hometown guy won MVP too. -
George Springer Collection
Sweet cards. I want to see one of those Crystal Ball inserts in person. I was surprised to see Springer turns 30 this year. I thought he was 25 or 26. -
My bobblehead adventure
That Garvey, Baker, Smith, Cey piece is awesome. Do you have any of the '80s Sports Impressions ceramic figures? -
Giancarlo "Mr. Glass" Stanton back to IL with fourth injury this season.
Stanton is turning out to be a monumental bust. But the Yankees should have known how injury-prone he was before signing him to a massive contract. He just went back on the Injured Reserve less than a week after coming off of it. This time it's a sprained knee. Before that, he had a torn...
