    Name a wrestler you've always hated.

    Besides the obvious Hogan, I couldn't stand Brutus Beefcake. For whatever reason, he received a huge push around 1989-90 that he didn't deserve. I also hated the OMG/Akeem gimmick and his matches. As a kid I liked the Bushwhackers, but looking back they were annoying as hell and their matches...

    WTB WTB these 90s Fleer/Skybox Frank Thomas inserts from hell.

    These are the ones that have eluded me over the years that I really need. They MUST be at least near mint and these are prices I'm willing to pay for NrMt/Mt versions. I'm not interested in graded copies. And I'm not expecting anyone to have these except possibly in personal collections. It's...

    Looking back, what were your favorite Donruss player puzzles?

    I'm sure pretty much everyone here discarded the puzzle pieces when they bought Donruss and Leaf packs from 1982-92. The artwork though is really nice and some of those completed puzzles are rather attractive and come in many forms. The regular large wax pack form, mini puzzles the size of a...

    What was the deal with the 1996 Stadium Club Bronze/Silver/Gold player cards?

    I just saw a gold one of Frank Thomas on COMC and decided to snag it though it is a bit outside of my scope. The back side had a redemption for something so I'm curious. Stated odds in Beckett had the Bronze seeded every 12 packs, Silver every 24 packs, and Gold every 48 packs. There's 180...

    Here's my awesome 2015 Topps pack pull details with an equally interesting story.

    Thanks for the replies. Actually, the card was one of the least damaged in the pack, so that's good news. I'm guessing near mint condition, maybe better. As for selling it, I might put it up on COMC if I can find some expensive cards I'm looking for. The type of stuff I like there has dried up...

    Here's my awesome 2015 Topps pack pull details with an equally interesting story.

    A couple of hours ago I went to Target with my mother. I noticed 6 different series 2 rack packs and told my mother to pick a number 1-6. She said 5 so I took the 5th pack from the front. My mother carried it along with some other stuff to the checkout line but accidentally dropped the pack...

    2015 Topps Stadium Club Baseball

    ^^ That pretty much sums up why I'm not interested in the product. Too many damn parallels. That and it's another hybrid current/retired player set.

    Biggest surprises of the season thus far?

    Steven Vogt with a 1.107 OPS. Or the A's with a 1-12 record in one run games. They have the worst record in the league, but have a zero run differential. Vogt, Sonny Gray, and Josh Reddick are all putting up all star numbers.

    How bad does a "corner ding" affect the value of a card?

    I recently sent in 5 cards to COMC, and 3 of them (jam session size cards) had a corner ding description. If I thought it was that bad, I wouldn't have sent them in. To me, they appeared to be a slight imperfection on one of the corners. One of them was just a touch of white and more of a fuzzy...

    Retro 1994 Ultra Series 2 Jumbo Box Break.

    So I went to the "local" card shop (45 miles away) yesterday and was really desperate to bust open some older wax. I happened to see this and the owner was willing to go as low as $20. So I said what the heck and bought it. Anyways, there are 6-7 possible inserts possible with the one insert per...

    FT Mark McGwire for trade

    I was always fond of the Diamond Producers insert. I considered collecting McGwire, but he had asinine BV last I checked. Just not worth it.

    1993 Diamond Marks Retro Box Break With Nice Hit!

    LOL! Here's the Barry Bonds artwork card. Good luck selling it at that price though. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1993-COLLA-BARRY-BONDS-THE-JUICE-SAN-FRANCISCO-GIANTS-/230214181324?pt=US_Baseball&hash=item3599d5a1cc It turns out the artist is indeed the same guy that did the provision cards. I'm...

    *OFFICIAL ATLANTA HAWKS THE HYPE IS REAL THREAD*.

    Too bad I can't ever watch them play. ESPN and TNT prefer to showcase Cavs, Knicks, and Lakers games.

    1993 Diamond Marks Retro Box Break With Nice Hit!

    This was a test issue from 1993 and the cards were actually classified as bookmarks. There's 120 cards in the set and the box I got had 48 packs of 10 cards. If you want an idea of what these cards are like, go here... http://www.comc.com/Cards,so,vList,i100,=1993+diamond+marks The hit was a...

    Are there any recent products that aren't littered with parallel cards?

    I don't mind if there's one or two parallels of every base card, but when every base card, insert, auto, gu, etc. has multiple versions (along with variations galore) that's where I draw the line. So are there any brands that are relatively simple nowadays? You can also list football and...

    Why has your collecting slowed down?

    1. The current product sucks. I'm getting sick of all the parallels and variations Topps and Panini dishes out. 2. No LCS where I live. I travel 50 miles to a shop a few times a year and usually leave disappointed. 3. Cards that I'm interested in at COMC are usually listed at 2-4 times what...

    2014-15 blaster box of Panini Prestige. Meh.

    These are Target exclusive $30 per box of 7 packs of 10 cards with a stated "one auto or GU per box (on average)". So I took the chance and bought one. Here's what I got. Around 55 base cards highlighted by Wade and Durant RCs: Embiid, Exum, Wilcox, McDaniels, O'Bryant, Adams, Young 7 basic...

    So which Frank Thomas cards on EBAY did you snag in the past hour?

    I bought a 2000 Ultra Talented #/100 for around $40. It actually went lower than what I thought it would go for. A 1999 Skybox Intimidation Nation #/100 went for $160, but that was out of my range.

    So, does Jeter go First Ballot?

    Didn't Mike Piazza's crappy defense prevent him getting in first ballot? Why should Jeter get a free pass? And how many MVPs did he receive?

    Keith Olbermann rant about Derek Jeter

    So does that mean Ichiro will get a year long farewell tour next year? I mean he's just as good a player as Jeter.

    A COMC selling question.

    I just sent in a batch of 90 cards. I wish to wait for all the cards to be processed before listing them. What do I do? Thanks

    What's your "baseball card mystery"

    I was always curious about the 1999 Hillshire Farms Home Run Heroes auto set. There's 4 players in the set: Ernie Banks, Harmon Killebrew, Frank Robinson, and Willie Stargell. If you search on ebay, you hardly ever see the Stargell. There's tons of cards of the other 3 players. Another thing I...

    What was the first GU card/set for baseball?

    I'm familiar with the 1996 Ultra Ripken GU dirt card, the 1997 UD game used set of 3 with Griffey and Gwynn, and the 1997 Leaf Frank Thomas GU set, but I don't know which of these came out first. On a side note, does anyone know anything about the 1998 Topps Clemente "Memorbelia Madness" cards?

    Anyone still doing COMC challenges?

    I'm curious, is the credit they're giving away backed by real money?

    Is Topps Opening Day the only simple product around anymore?

    What I mean by simple is not having to worry about parallel and variations galore. That and autos or relic versions of every insert out there. Take base Topps. This year there's gold, camo, yellow, pink, black, red hot, etc. and all the retail exclusive versions. Talk about tasting the rainbow...
