    Upper Deck to combat patch swapping in cards

    Not baseball related, but it’s a decent step in combating aftermarket patch swapping in cards. Maybe Topps should be doing something similar? ']https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6385327/2025/05/28/upper-deck-the-cup-patch-swapping/

    February 2025 Arrivals

    1997 Finest Silver Embossed, $2 delivered. I can usually tell from the back of the card if it really is embossed but this was a tough one. Luckily it worked out, but even if it didn’t, I need the silver anyway for my master set. 2024 Bowman’s Best base. Another $2 delivered card, nothing too...

    November 2024 Arrivals

    Thankfully I got these for a good price; probably would've been better if I waited until after game 5 :LOL: Left is /199, right is /75.

    April 2024 Arrivals

    Not a bad way to start the month. Still can’t believe this set is almost 30 years old though.

    [WTB] 2022 Topps Series 1 needs

    Was able to locate a blaster and 2 hangers of 2022 Topps Series 1. Unsurprisingly, I didn't complete the set, but I do have close to 2/3 of it put together. Thankfully, I was able to pull the over-rated Wander Franco RC. If anyone has cards that I need, message me and let's work something out...

    Bad Photoshop jobs

    Came across this image yesterday. Photoshop much? Or am I just really terrible at guessing image manipulation?

    February 2022 - New Arrivals

    Figured I’d start a new thread for a new month. He may not be in the HOF but I’ve enjoyed watching him play when I was a kid. It’s a shame the auto only graded a 9 (I believe due to the faded ink streaks), but overall, I’m happy with how this came out. CSG is definitely tough, especially with...

    WTB: 1997 Topps Finest

    I finally decided to go through my binders and boxes of cards to see what I had in terms of complete sets so that I can pass them along to my boys. I didn't realize that I had almost a complete set of 1997 Topps Finest, but only the bronze (common). Since the complete set is 350 cards (not...

    Time travel - AKA, I wish I was smart in 1998

    Going through my old Becket magazines, I came across a March 1998 issue that had Hideo Nomo on the cover. Being curious about prices, I checked out 1996 Leaf Signature Series. I was only 17 at the time and I believe prices were $10/pack at my LCS (maybe $15, I can't really remember). Anyhow, I...

    Buying: 2021 Topps Series 1 base cards

    Opened a couple of blasters when I was able to find them before the scalpers wiped them out. My 10 year old son loves the design and said he'd like to complete the set with me, so here we are. I need 173 cards to complete the Series 1 set; base cards only, no SP or SSPs. I created a spreadsheet...

    FS FS: Topps Livng Set 2018 Release (126 cards)

    Last year, I decided to try and collect the Living Set as soon as it was announced. It was an experiment that I figured would be fun for my 7yo son and I to do together. However, we both got a little bored with it after baseball season was over, even though I still bought the cards each week...

    The Refractor Project

    Not sure how many people remember this, but here goes. A few years ago, I started a new collection: to obtain 1 refractor per set released in the 1990s. Topps Finest, Bowman Chrome, etc. Inserts, subsets, parallels. If there's a refractor variant, I want to collect it. Health issues put that...

    1995 Finest Refractors

    Ok, I know I'm not new to the hobby, but what's the deal with 1995 Finest Refractors? I mean, I can find a few commons on eBay because they're labeled wrong and get them cheap that way, but for the rest of the players, the prices are a little nuts considering at this point, the Finest brand is 3...

    81 years ago today...

    ...Babe Ruth hit his 500th major league home run against the Cleveland Indians. Just thought I would share that.

    Weird thing happened on eBay last night

    Anyone have this happen to them? I have an eBay extension installed for Google Chrome and while I was on the web last night, it notified me I lost 1 feedback. Thinking I received a negative and wanted know what it was, I went to eBay's page and saw that I indeed lost feedback but my score was...
