While doing one of my nightly eBay searches, I came across a beautiful Satchel Paige 4/4 National Treasures card with an intriguing patch. I was 99% sure I knew what the “69” on the patch signified (insert joke here) and immediately made an offer… after barely waiting for a response from the...
As some of you know, I collect Upper Deck Mystery Cuts cards and share them here when new ones arrive:

Back on June 30th, I won an eBay auction for a Brad Renfro (actor) Mystery Cut card and expected...

The seller, sportsandsorts75, has sold a bunch of cards to me over the years but won't return my questions about authenticity. I'd love the patches to be authentic but I can't see an unnumbered card...
This is a one-stop-shop for superfractor questions:
-What is your favorite year/set for superfractors?
-How many superfractors do you own?
-What is your favorite superfractor?
-Do you "like" superfractors and why or why not?
You can apply this question to your own personal scenarios but would you rather own your favorite card in a set or every other card in the set except for your favorite card? For example, would you rather own the 1/1 of your PC player or every other 1/1 in the set except for your PC player's...
Sometimes I see posts on FCB about members sending out cool cards that fit the PC of another member and I always get a kick out of seeing them. Last night I came home tired from a delayed 4-hour flight and went to check the mail before unpacking and going to bed. Low and behold I had a package...
Some of you may be familiar with my Adam Dunn card collection here on FCB but I also collect Dunn game used bats, helmets, baseballs and lineup cards. I enjoy doing research on everything, trying to pinpoint the date of manufacture, the season of use and (when I'm lucky) the exact games in which...
Over the past 7 years I've acquired a small UD Mystery Cuts collection, picking up cards either with personal significance and/or were just "cool". This week I received my 5th cut and wanted to show them in hopes others might also share. Here we go!
Vic Morrow: I'm a huge Twilight Zone fan and...
Afternoon and welcome back to FCB!
I was going to post this in yesterday's morning thread but had been locked of the forum. The index card signature was received in person and the Mercury photo was through the mail. He assumed I was "John" instead of an actual "Jon" but I did not care a bit...
As a player collector, I've noticed more attention to the value of Topps player contracts over the last couple of years and was wondering what the rest of the board has noticed. Feel free to post pics or anything about your contracts.
It has been said before but I can't recall in this exact manner...
Baseball is a game involving baseball players. If you don't actively play in a game, you were not a player in said game.
Cards including jersey/patch swatches are being labelled as "authentic player-worn" when the uniform in...
(Note: while this is a football set, the player on the card in question, Adam Dunn, is known as a baseball player...)
I'm hoping someone on here is either familiar with this card, the set or the company itself! Here is the background on the set, according to Beckett's website:
This set was...
Morning.
I mentioned last week that I had tickets to this past Saturday's Reds/Cubs game in Cincy and, wouldn't you know it, I picked what ended up being the 10th rainout in the history of Great American Ballpark (opened in 2003). We waited the entire delay in the rain until they finally called...
GOOOOOOOOOD MORNING FCBers!
Last night I completed my first ever purchases on COMC. I hope they ship my cards sandwiched in cardboard as I didn't feel like spending 20 cents a pop for toploaders. I searched out all of the non-auto/memorabilia Adam Dunn cards serial numbered 44/xx or 32/xx (his...
Is it like a mirror of your personal collection?...
On my FCB screen I see 4 generated images at the top of the page linking specific eBay auctions. Being an Adam Dunn collector, all 4 of my images are of Adam Dunn cards. What confuses me is that I would never have interest in 3 of the 4 cards...
Hey everybody! I recently obtained this lineup card and am trying to learn as much about it as possible. The two biggest names are Adam Dunn and Austin Kearns (both of which signed the card by their respective names in the lineup). I've identified all of the players listed on the card and all...
Good morning and Happy Labor Day! I came into work today at 3AM for a 12 hour work day because I LOVE LABORING! Been here almost 3 hours without any coffee... that is soon to change.
Now that I've had a couple of days to process my visit to the National Sports Collectors Convention in Cleveland this past Saturday, let me share some of my experience.
Background: This was my first National and it was a place/event I've wanted to go since the early 90's (I'm 28). I wore an...
Okay, gang, help me figure this out! I just photo matched my newly acquired Adam Dunn bat to his 2002 Donruss Studio card #200 . I'm trying to track down when the picture was taken but my best guess would be during batting practice in a cold climate due to the BP style hat and the...
Let me preface this topic by saying that while I do not personally collect game used cards, I can appreciate their place in the hobby and their appeal to collectors. I prefer to own the entire game used item (mostly bats) and think the small portion of material included in a card should not...
