    Brandon Morrow

    Good point. Felix was a statistical standout that year with ERA and SO's. But it also shows that guys with great stuff don't always pile up the wins. Seems that power guys can struggle with the wins and losses sometimes (Nolan Ryan for example was a career .526 pitcher). So what is the upside...

    Brandon Morrow

    John Smoltz-esque Great stuff, lots of SO's, potential to win the Cy Young or go 13-12 in a given season. Classic power pitcher, has the stuff to be the best, but will he be? He's been great for my fantasy team. Hobby wise not sure if the John Smoltz's of the world ever garner much interest...

    Should Albert Belle be in the HOF?

    Personally Albert Belle was one of my favorite players when I was collecting as a kid. I liked his bad attitude and smashing the ball all over the place as part of a very high octane Cleveland Indian team. With that said I thought it was clearly established that he was a user and that the...

    I have to say - I LOVE Checkoutmycards

    I recently discovered COMC and have found it to be the first serious competitor for my Ebay dollars. Scans of every card front and back be it a .05 or $500. Absolutely can not beat that if you are hunting high grade commons for a set. Plus as mentioned it saves a TON compared to Ebay on...

    Cal Ripken, Jr. collector's thread

    Picked this up recently to complete the entire 90's run of Ripken Finest Refractors.

    Does 1995 Emotion have variations in the words on front?

    Got a good laugh. I think everyone thought Studio and Emotion were for alternative card collectors. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

    Matt Kemp goes yard again!

    Somewhere Eric Show and Brian Bohanan shudder... well Bohanan anyway.

    Congratulations Jamie Moyer!! He made the team!

    What does Topps do if they put him on the 1987 topps minis they've got this year? I mean he already has an 1987 Topps card!

    Name 3 players that most don't think will make HOF...

    Andruw Jones He really had an incredible run in the early 2000's and was the best defensive center fielder maybe ever.

    Did he bend the cards? I see the one pic where a card is about folded into a V.

    Oh Super Sweet 90's Inserts.... #3

    Did not see your post earlier in the thread regarding your friend's story. Certainly give you credit as probably the leading expert on 90's inserts, but you would have to concede that the PSA Pop reports don't indicate any kind of scarcity for this card and that it sells in line with the other...

    Oh Super Sweet 90's Inserts.... #3

    The Andre Dawson hoarding his '93 Refractors is just some sort of strange baseball card collecting "urban legend". There is positively nothing to substaniate the story. Most importantly you will have no problem picking up a 1993 Finest Refractor Dawson. Jimmy Key and Orel Hershiser are...

    What value/degree of difficulty for 97-98 Skybox Star Ruby?

    I realize the 97-98 Skybox 97-98 Star Rubies are numbered to 50, but how desirable are they? Do they show up often or are they greatly desired by set builders? What is a fair price on a common player? Have a guy I collect who was an NBA journeyman from my alma mater and this card came up on...

    1991 Topps. Who knew?

    Did the same thing with 1991 Topps after seeing the checklist on junkwaxgems site. Found some rare A*B* back variations and the Randy Bush no print code I found sold for $17.50 on EBay. Had fun.

    Will Clark Collectors Thread

    Yea I remember I had set a goal of saving up $35 for a Clark Fleer RC (since I had the other prime cards - Bonilla and Bonds) but some how could never make it that far. I think primarily because you could get a box of Topps for $17.50 at Revco. When I first got really interested in baseball...

    Looks like Ripken fans will be in Columbia soon

    Go cocks! This football season really gives me an appreciation for what Ray Tanner has done in Columbia. No excuse for Spurrier not finding a QB in his 6 years at USC.

    1990 Topps Jeff King "No White On Back" Variation

    Nice write up that explains the issue well. 1990 Topps is an amazingly consistent product especially considering how many of these things were produced, outside of some inking variations, notably Frank Thomas NNOF, there is really nothing that creates a truly different card. I suppose error...

    Welcome to the 1980's Baseball Card Appreciation Thread.

    Congrats USC Gamecocks

    Go gamecocks! They were playing 1890's style baseball - no HR's but lots of pitching, defense and stolen bases. All hail the double play and infield grounder.

    Colon, stem cells, and their future

    Probably "stem cell" in name only. I have Type 1 Juvenile Diabetes (since 1997) in '97 stem cell cures were "a few years away", so I have always kept up with these things. There has been success in lab animals and some limited human testing but essentially the problem is that there is no...

    Oh Super Sweet 90's Inserts.... #3

    As interesting as this thread is it reminds me why I once quit collecting and haven't bought packs since 96 - Holy cow there is a ton of product from the 90's! Makes your head spin - maybe thats why people are getting into the 90's inserts now - it took 10+ years to process the tidal wave of...
