    I'm back... It's been a while.

    Guess I should "re-introduce" myself. Used to frequent this site a lot more a few years ago... Went on a hiatus as life kept me busy. Also, a lot of my card buying funds went to other "hobbies". Trying to spend a little more time around here now, though. Although, I've got a baby due any day...

    1999 UD HoloGrFX Break w/ Scans!

    Ending up sitting at the house today... The fires in the community where I work ended up shutting down the schools for the day. Certainly not the way I would want a day off. Anyways, I figured I'd bust one of these 90's boxes that have been sitting around for all of 3-4 days :lol: This was a...

    Just how bad are the Astros? WINNERS: showoff & saferseas!

    So... I've been thinking of ways to make the rest of the Astros miserable season more entertaining... I'm thinking that a little contest on exactly how bad the Astros will be should make things a little more interesting. So... here goes: Contest is simple: Post how many losses you think the...

    My 4th 2011 Topps Value Box (With a Scan)!

    This is my 4th box of those 15 dollar value box things... and it certainly ended up being the best. I pulled the usual stuff in this box... my 2 diamond codes, a few of the sparkly cards, etc. In my third pack of Topps, though, I saw this... I was pretty darn excited to pull something...

    There is bad...

    and than there is Astros bad! Do I have anything to look forward to this season...? I would say cracking 60 wins this season would be quite an accomplishment. Starting pitching was supposed to be the one minor "bright spot" this season... that seems to be going so well. ::facepalm::

    2011 Topps Ruby Red...?

    Picked up one of those 2011 Topps Cereal Box things at Target today for 10 bucks. I ended up pulling one of the Ruby Red cards of Albert Pujols that I am assuming is one per box. Just sold it within about 30 minutes of listing for 18 bucks... Any idea why these are going for so much, or is it...

    Any David Ortiz/Red Sox Collectors Out There?... Freebie!

    This has been sitting on my desk for months now... and I really have no use for it/no way to store or display it properly. This is a B-18 Blanket from 2006 Turkey Red (The topper in hobby boxes). Any Ortiz or Red Sox collectors willing to take this off my hands? Just shoot me a pm/post in...

    Quick Thanks & Recent Pickups!

    Just wanted to give a a quick thanks to a great member: joey12508 I recently sent him a message after he came across a whole bunch of Pinnacle Inside Tins. I was looking to pick up an unopened Bagwell tin, but there was not one to be had in the batch. So I let him know that I would gladly take...

    Question on a Retail Football Box...?

    So, I wandered by the card section at the local Target the other day and saw that 2007 Press Pass Retail Boxes were $14.99. Each box has 16 packs and all had that little red thing around the end that says something like "the word opened will appear if tampered with". My question is, would these...

    Contest Time... Winner: Philip J. Fry!

    Decided I haven't done this in a while, and since there are plenty of people on the boards who have given to me it's time to give back a little. Winner takes home this bad boy: Pulled this back in the day, and as you can see in the scan the crimping machine got a hold of it. Still a nice...

    Need some help from the Twins guys on the board

    So... I recently acquired an auto'ed ball from my Grandpa who used to live in MN. There are quite a few sigs on the ball and was really only able to distinguish one (Kirby Puckett). This ball was not taken the best care of as most of the autos are faded. Would love help determining who the rest...
