How did you pick your screen name?
When I read magicpapa's obituary I thought it was cool that he was actually a magician. For me, it's because I play the banjo. Or as an old timer from Appalachia might call it, a "banjar". Mine is a 1925 4-string tenor banjo, which belonged to my dad. So how did all you FCB'ers pick your... -
Official 2025 Colorado Rockies Thread
The 2025 Colorado Rockies have played 8 games, and as a result they are 7 games out of first in the NL West. The NL West is a division in Major League Baseball that somehow still allows the Rockies to partcipate in it. The Rockies have won this division exactly zero times in their entire 32... -
Is the National worth it for player collectors?
I just heard from a fellow Alomar collector who went to the National. He didn't end up finding anything for that PC. I have been thinking about attending one of these years, but that was disheartening to hear. So I have a question for all the advanced player collectors here. Is it worth it to... -
2009 FCB promo cards
So TCDB has a new thread about a 2009 FCB National Convention promo set. That's before my time as a member here, so wondering if any "old timers" can share the story? https://www.tcdb.com/Forum.cfm/Page/M/ID/0/?MODE=VIEW&ThreadID=44102&C=0 -
How bout them Nuggets?
47 years in the NBA as the Nuggets, 2 years before that in the ABA as the Nuggets, and 7 years before that in the ABA as the Rockets (and one year before that in 1949-50 as an original member of the newly-formed NBA). And...now a title! Let's hear it!- banjar

Oddball Issue - 2002 Upper Deck Collectibles Play Makers
I am snowed in this morning. I haven't found the motivation to shovel the walk yet, so I'm just sitting here drinking coffee and trawling the web for cards. Surprisingly, I just found an Alomar card for my PC that I'd never heard of before - the 2002 Upper Deck Collectibles Play Makers issue... -
need a favor
Hi everyone, I wanted to buy this card, but ebay keeps telling me the seller will not ship to Colorado. But the seller says he definitely will, and I know that's true because I've bought from him before. https://www.ebay.com/itm/234508015057?hash=item3699c455d1:g:q8QAAOSwYy1iV0CR So would any... -
Online sources for cards - ranked. Opinions welcome.
So I was thinking, what are your top 5 online sites for buying/selling baseball cards, in order? Here are mine: 1) Ebay - far and away #1. I wish it wasn't so, but this is the big kid on the block. I troll every site I know of on a regular basis, but ultimately a large majority of my purchases... -
2001 Stadium Club Super Team 11x14 Autographs?
Does anyone out there have an example of these? Has anyone even seen one? Apparently if you pulled a "Super Team" card of the team that won the championship series or world series (Yankees, Diamondbacks), you could exchange it for a set of Super Team cards, plus one randomly selected 11x14... -
Error and Variations Guide Book
I found this website while searching for info on recognized variations for 1991 Fleer (of all things). It's a comprehensive guide to known variations, from the 40's to the 90's. Not just baseball but also other sports. https://baseballcardvariationsguidebookvol2.wordpress.com/ If you're an... -
2021 Collecting Goals
A new year is just around the corner, hopefully bringing better days with it. So, optimistically speaking, what are you hoping to accomplish over the next year in your collections? Here's my list. For my Alomar PC: 1) Reduce new card purchases even further. At current count there are 537... -
1998 Hershey Orioles
I bought this set to get the Robbie Alomar, so the remainder is available for sale. Includes Ripken, Mussina, Palmeiro, Baines, Eric Davis, Brady Anderson, Eddie Murray on the coaches card, and of course the rest of the team. Condition of all cards is very good, can post scans if anyone is...- banjar

2019 Tek Thread
Finally the thread that nobody's been clamoring for - 2019 Topps High Tek! This cheap perfunctory set deserves its own cheap perfunctory thread. I realize nobody's talking about this crap set, but to heck with "them". When "they" zig, I zag baby. First, what's the point of even doing Tek... -
1993 magnet prototypes?
So this listing just popped up on ebay. A guy saying he has a set of prototype player magnets from the early 90's, maybe 1993. https://www.ebay.com/itm/MLB-Superstar-Magnet-1993-Design-Proof/264502349563?hash=item3d95918efb:m:mNwiUbF8eg_ez4JXcIMjJQQ Below is what they look like. Anyone have... -

Best snipe service
I'm thinking to start using an ebay snipe service, for several reasons. Among others, I'm getting a little tired of people trying to shill bid on auctions I'm interested in. I know this topic has been discussed in the past, but currently what is the best snipe service? Would like to know... -
FS oddball Glavine, Piazza, Gwynn, and Vizquel auto
First three are sets that I bought to get the Alomar cards. Last two are random acquisitions. Not asking megabucks for any of these, so am not keen to haggle. Any questions, just PM me.

Night Crew - April's Fools
Hereyago boys. April NC thread. Let me start it off with one of my all time favorite cards: Keith Comstock. 10-7 career record in 6 seasons. 1.1 career WAR. Most importantly, a HOF sense of humor - an important personality trait for anyone posting on this thread... -
Question on 1993 Finest Promo Refractors
Hi all - Looking for info from anyone who owns one of the three 1993 Finest Promo Refractors (Mattingly, Ryan, or Alomar). I have the Alomar in my collection, at least I think I do. What I mean is, there seem to be two different "refractor" versions floating around, with the difference being... -
1997 Topps Stars All-Stars: WTF?
The 1997 Topps Stars set doesn't seem to be particularly memorable. I was out of the hobby the year before, so I don't have any memory of it. But even today, nobody talks about it. There's no buzz or nostalgia, nothing. But this set keeps coming up in my consciousness because it has one of the... -
Yet another ebay d-bag seller to avoid
Nothing major, just need to point out another idiot that the fine members of FCB should avoid. Seller is named "roomuser" but I would argue "shroomuser" is a better description of this fuzz-nutted imbecile. So this seller lists a fun little item - a 1990 fleer rack pack with Alomar on top. I... -
TV Sports Mailbag Sets
A while ago I stumbled on an issue from 1990 that I never knew about - the TV Sports Mailbag jumbo 8x10 card. Beckett lists the 1989 and 1992 sets but nothing about 1990 and 1991. From what I can tell TV Sports Mailbag put out jumbo sets in 4 years: 1989 = active players, 140 cards 1990 =... -
Burbank now taking offers?
A few of you have mentioned on other threads that Burbank is now taking offers, but I don't see how to do this on either Ebay or Beckett. So how do you send them an offer? -
Roberto Alomar Collector's Thread
I haven't managed to find many other Alomar collectors, but if my lost ebay auctions are any indicator, they are out there. Hopefully this thread will help get us together. So if you have righteous cards, are looking for rare or oddball stuff, or just got a good pickup, please post here. I'm...
