    What's your "baseball card mystery"

    Could be... NCAA baseball playoffs for whatever reason had me thinking about Frank Thomas being in his college uniform on his Topps RC. Remembered that Ross was wondering who might appear on that card with him. Going on the notion that the other player was from Tulane, I think I have a pretty...

    Great Baseball Names

    The best five Rated Rookies from the 80s?

    Great group of players. Maddux, Randy Johnson, Ken Griffey Jr., Mark McGwire, Roberto Alomar Honorable Mention. Andres Galarraga was a great hitter and superb defensive first baseman. He would be a star on any team. Joe Carter was as good as anybody from 1988 to 1993, his career is under rated.

    Official Error and Variation Discussion/Reference Thread

    This would make sense because the "bold" back red variations only appeared on the A and B sheets from regular issue Topps so we are seeing the same thing with the DS cards as well.

    Cards that were unbelievably hot: Then vs. Now

    Nomo-mania Going back to 1995 (hard to believe almost 20 years ago now) Hideo Nomo was the biggest thing ever and the biggest of the big was his 1995 Finest Refractor RC. It is a true RC unlike most cards from 90's Finest. I think Topps produced the "update" to Finest that year just to cash in...

    1993 Finest cards refractor or not

    I've found that in bright light they are usually harder to tell apart. Standing in a darker room with only a single light on they really pop. I think this has something to do with the fact they were made with the same stuff that makes stops signs reflect at night.

    RBI Baseball is back.

    Word You could pitch a no hitter with the Astros. Ryan to Scott to Charlie Kerfeld. The Giants and the Red Sox were the balls. The Sox had insane power led by juiced up Tony Armas. All of the players on the game used their '86 (or maybe it was '87) stats except Armas who was getting credit for...

    Opinions on this 1991 Topps Desert Shield card

    Its a fake. On the actual card the Desert Shield logo touches both the grey and red top borders. (i.e. a little higher up on the real one) The card is probably real with a fake stamp added.

    Sorting through my cards and found this!?!?!?

    Don't see that much at all any more. Would turn up in say 1991 and earlier Topps every so often. Rance Mulliniks below is pretty similar.

    met a Braves closer last night.

    I was hoping this was a story about Juan Berenguer working at a gas station.

    Nolan Ryan 1993 Finest Refractor Promo goes for $3,000?? For real?

    Probably would have went for more out of the holder. Quite rare and taps the strong 1993 finest collector and Nolan Ryan collector markets.

    If you were a GM, who would you have as your skipper??

    Joe Maddon I always liked Mike Hargrove as well. Larussa is disqualified for his handling of Royce Clayton/Ozzie Smith.

    Better card in 1988? Bo or Jose

    As someone mentioned earlier the book value in '88 on these two was all you needed to know. Jose was crushing in the easy 100+ range. Bo's real peak of crushing it was when his 1990 Score Black & White Baseball/Football Card was selling for $20. THAT was the catalyst for for the baseball...

    So why aren't your 1991 cards worth anything?

    Only 4 million per, no exaggeration - sounds low to me. I think you could destroy every card from opened product out there and there would still be enough of this stuff out there in unopened material where it would be only slightly more valuable than it is today.

    1998 Finest Base vs No Protector Base & Ref vs. No Protector Ref

    Also some of the Series II refractors are "wrong backed" - some refractors will not have the "R" designation on the back.
