Bob Nightengale: The Dodgers will receive Homer Bailey, pitcher Josiah Gray and infielder Jeter Downs.
Perhaps this move is the precursor to a Bryce Harper signing?
2006 Topps Finest Jeff Kent gold xfractor, numbered to /10
and
2006 Topps Allen & Ginter Nomar Garciaparra no-number mini, printed to /50
Both will finish up my team runs for those products.
Some of you guys might remember that I'm a player collector, too. Brett Butler is one of my favorite modern players, and somehow I got on this quest to collect every card any company has ever issued of him. Beckett has 534 unique Butler cards catalogued - I've got 521 of them, plus several...
A friend reached out to me a short time ago and asked if I could ask around to see if anyone could help him locate some copies of the card in the title before he resorted to paying $5 apiece for cards on eBay. If anyone happens to have any of them, please let me know. His son has a friend who...

TL;DR
Collectors Universe member pulls Strasburg auto super redemption on 10/7/17. Redemption expired on 9/30/13. Card was graded by Beckett on 11/7/13.
ouch
This has been an ongoing "problem" for me for quite some time now, and i'm not sure whether it's just one more sign of being a middle-aged collector, or that I'm burned out and maybe need to think about retiring my Butler collection.
It wasn't that long ago, maybe two years ago or so, that I...
Hopefully there's at least one expert in these things here.
For many years I've had the card on the left, which has a stamp on the back that reads SAMPLE NOT FOR RESALE. I have also been searching for a blank back, which I have seen examples of in other player collections. One showed up on...
I love baseball. I've loved baseball my whole life, and in particular I love the Los Angeles Dodgers. I've been living in Giants territory for most of my life. I'm often asked, "why do you root for the Dodgers?" A good response would be this: because I hate the Giants!
But, really - why...

I think I like it, although it's not terribly different from the past couple years.
Former Mets GM Steve Phillips has bold idea to speed up games - NY Daily News
Long story short, he proposes a rule change that would speed games up and save wear and tear on young pitchers and assorted million dollar arms, while catering to the gnat-like attention span that millennials seem to...
2016 Allen and Ginter checklist
I see some Dodgers autos I definitely like to pick up, but I'm going to assume the prices will be crazy: Fernando Valenzuela, Frankie Montas and Corey Seager. Maeda's there, too, and so is no-longer-a-Dodger Zach Lee.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. It's about damn time.
Van Slyke back, Trayce Thompson doing very well, Ethier hopefully coming back in mid to late June, and even Howie Kendrick doing a better job. Sure, he's a nice guy, but his...
As reported on the Mothership: http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/15493601/bartolo-colon-home-run-card-shatters-sales-records-topps-now
The previous top seller was Jake Arrieta's no-hitter - 1,808 cards were sold. Colon's record-setting home run accounted for 8,826 orders.
Who'da thunk it?
I've been using plain black backgrounds for so long, so I thought I'd try something a little different. My imagination only goes so far, and quite honestly I'm far from proficient with any official web page building programs. I use a fairly simply WYSIWYG editor, and it's fairly kinda tedious to...
You young sparkies might not have ever heard this guy (unless you listened to the Angels or Diamondbacks in recent years), but Garagiola, Kubek and Gowdy were part of my childhood in the 70s. NBC's Game of the Week on Saturdays was the only way we got to watch baseball, at least in northwest...

Tread title edited. JO's tweet made it sound (at least to me) like this was the first one. I just looked at the pop report and it looks like it's the third one graded as a 10. Still a gorgeous card.

I got back into collecting in 1992 or so. Tonight I reached a milestone that back then I never in my wildest dreams thought I'd reach.
My goal in those early years was to pick up some Dodgers team sets from the 80s (easily done) and work a little on some 1970s sets. I remember WAY...
