    The state of football colleting

    I used to be more into football back in the 90s than baseball as far as collecting. I had, and still have a large Barry Sanders collection from then. I know QBs have always been the kings in the collecting world. That said, it used to be WR got little to no love from collectors. Has it changed...

    So who's going to be the BUST of 2012?

    That's true. Still I feel age and experience have a ton to do with it. I wouldn't be shocked at all to see Harper explode next year with more power than Trout. I know this has little to do with collecting, but from a career perspective I feel Trout and Harper will be similar players with Trout...

    So who's going to be the BUST of 2012?

    I feel like Japanese pitchers seems to fall in the "grass is greener on the other side" category. Much the same as NBA teams drafting foreign players looking for the next Dirk Nowitzki.

    Box 1 of 2 2012 Topps Mini!!! With Scans Of /5 /1 & Auto! BOX 2 ADDED!

    My one box was horrible as well. I hit every bad player gold you can think of. Like think Ryan Raburn bad.

    So who's going to be the BUST of 2012?

    People have a very short memory. Trout was bad last year in his time up. There's no reason to think Harper is done. From a collecting standpoint it may never be the same. If a number one guy doesn't have the MVP year his first year people jump off. If a guy comes in with normal to no hype and...

    Eric Hosmer's Brutal Season Discussion

    Yep. I was never on board with the crazy high prices because of the added SP factor. Being a short print made the buy in higher than normal. I still think he has a chance to be really good, but in the baseball collecting world it might be too late.

    FCB Power Rankings: Rank the best teams in baseball 1 through 10

    The Yankees make me wonder how they win so many games when most of their team hits sub .270. It's all long balls I guess.

    Miguel Cabrera is in 1st or 2nd in every Triple Crown Category

    I figured this would be a career year for him with Fielder behind him. I doubt he wins the MVP unless he somehow gets the triple crown.

    Top 10 prospects in order that were traded

    It's interesting how so many Tigers prospects made huge jumps this year. Castellanos was already top 100 but jumped big, Rondon came out of nowhere, and Brantley has done pretty well himself. The deal the Tigers made is the kind that most teams should make. They dealt positions of strength, and...

    Verlander's consecutive streak (pitching 6+ innings) in jeopardy......

    He sucks, it's all down hill from here. :lol: If it didn't rain it would have kept going. He never comes out at just 100 pitches.

    Adam Dunn might hit 600 HR, would he make the HOF?

    I haven't read all the posts so this might have come up. Dunn and Killebrew's numbers are similar. Dunn .242 BA and .373 OBP .503 SLG Killebrew .256 BA and .376 OBP .509 SLG If he keeps up the pace he's been on, and hits 600 like the original post suggested, he'll get in.

    Adam Dunn might hit 600 HR, would he make the HOF?

    I've never fully understood the issue with staying around a long time. People throw out the word compiler on guys. You have to stay around a really long time to hit some of these milestones. Also, there's something to be said for guys even being able to hang on for a long time. There's always...

    Brewers fans, are you disappointed? - Greinke trade(s)

    I'm always surprised teams give up so much for a rental in any case.

    ZACK GREINKE TRADED TO THE ANGELS!

    More than anything else I think this helps the Angles in the event they end up in the wild card game without the chance to pitch their best starter. Now at least one of the 4 is likely pitching verse whatever the other team has. Which is likely not to be the best they have going.

    My biggest (and last?) Yount PC purchase ever

    Awesome pick up. I only wish I had the money to get the Granderson up now. I've been waiting for a Granderson bat knob, and it finally shows when I can't get it. :(

    WILL ZACK GREINKE BE TRADED?

    The new CBA is effecting trades this year for sure. I've always liked Greinke. He's always seriously underrated in fantasy baseball. I feel like the Yankees would have already made a deal if they weren't worried about his anxiety. They wanted him before when he was with KC.

    Jacob Turner Traded To Miami Marlins For Omar Infante and Anibal Sanchez.

    Good point. I forgot about that. Well, that makes the swap even better then. I just looked at the rules. They are pretty steep. More steep than I thought. Any team that exceeds its pool by 0 to 5% must pay a 75% tax on the amount of the overage. Any team that exceeds its pool by more than 5%...

    Olympic Baseball Predictions

    I thought they originally stated that baseball was not included because the USA would dominate like they did in softball. I can sorta see the argument that they want the best to compete. Since it wouldn't just be the USA that doesn't have it's best players. Other teams would be missing some...

    ICHIRO TRADED TO THE YANKEES!

    In a related note D.J. Mitchell and Dustin Ackley are back together again. They both played for my high school. I wonder if they make the only pair of high school and MLB teammates in the league now?

    Jacob Turner Traded To Miami Marlins For Omar Infante and Anibal Sanchez.

    As a Tigers fan I'm ok with this deal. Sanchez, and Infante help now. Especially Infante considering he's not Raburn. Anything with life is better than Raburn. Also, while Turner could end up being good at some point, the Tigers have other guys that they can turn to just as easily. As of right...

    Blockbuster trade between Marlins/Orioles being discussed

    It might just be me, but it's seems like the Marlins haven't pulled a deal for any minor leaguers since Hanley that have panned out. They've gotten a bunch of high level prospects who just fizzle.

    2012 Allen & Ginter Has Surpassed Amazing!!!

    I'm not sure why, but it seems like there are more of the Negro league unis available, that the Tigers wear every year than normal ones.

    Talks of a Tigers-Cubs trade

    I don't see the Tigers giving up Castellanos for anything other than a guy that's signed beyond this year. In some ways I doubt they are super anxious about doing anything drastic considering they aren't losing anyone of importance next season. Also, he's starting to play LF some. Why mess with...

    Honus Wagner PSA 10 ?!?!

    I haven't seen pictures of all of them, but it could also be centering issues.
