    Topps Blacks WTF!!!!!

    He is now using id lambasted. The auctions closed this morning and I have a feeling I should just file the NPB now instead of waiting

    Cards you don't think exist but are on a checklist......

    I have to agree with this one. I will forever retain hope that my guys will someday pop up, but I am not holding my breath. Along the same lines - the 2009 Upper Deck 1989 20th Anniversary Buybacks - I am wondering if some of the players were not produced since there are a number that I have...

    Anyone else having trouble with Beckett price guide?

    I was having a similar issue. It is a result of their upgrade to the marketplace over the weekend. What you need to do is to delete your cookies and relaunch your browser. It should take care of the issues.

    Washington Collectors Auburn Show This Weekend!

    I wish - they are taking down the section of the Viaduct south of the stadiums and linking up the new road way they have been building over the last year and a half to the existing one starting Friday night. The Viaduct is going to be closed southbound (and only open Northbound during the day)...

    Washington Collectors Auburn Show This Weekend!

    I am hoping to get there since it has been a while since I have been to a show, but it is going to depend on traffic - I live in Seattle and the viaduct shutdown this weekend could make it a mess getting south.

    Discussion: Weakest WS Winning Team (On Paper) since the DH

    It would be the 73 Mets if they had won - the A's beat them 4 games to 3 in 1973. My vote would be the 1987 Twins - they had no pitching once you got past Frank Viola and should have had a losing record based on their run differential. The 88 Dodgers had an offense that was as bad as the 87...

    Who is the least collected player in the past 15 years?

    I know of at least two other active Brian Giles collectors in addition to myself. His really low numbered stuff usually sells well, especially when at least 2 of the 3 of us don't have it in our collections. Now if you want guys who most likely aren't collected by anyone other than me, see my...

    Mariners are 8-35 when.....

    Summer has not really arrived in Seattle - we haven't had many days where the temp has been over 70 degrees (I think there may have been one or 2 Sunday games where it was over 70, heck it has been over 80 degrees for something like 14 hours this year in Seattle), so practically every one of...

    WHAT IS WITH THIS slg %

    I would take any guy for my team who leads the league in Avg, total bases and 2B, is second in slugging and in the top 5 in a number of other categories in a second. Oh wait, we already have him. Just keep in mind that while Fenway has the shortest RF foul pole in the league, the wall...

    record holders that wont be in the HOF

    Games pitched for pitchers - I don't see Jesse Orosco getting into the HOF anytime soon.

    Mariners Pitching Staff > Phillies Pitching Staff

    While the raw numbers are impressive, the Phillies numbers over the last 5 games were against the Rockies and Rangers at Citizens Bank Park (pretty neutral in terms of advantage for the pitchers) while the numbers for the Mariners have been against the Angels and the Padres at Safeco and Petco -...

    How long 'till Ackley gets called up?

    Not until they can find someone crazy enough to take Jack Wilson's contract.

    FREE CARDS!

    If they are still available, I would love the Brian Giles Cheveron Cards. Only really need one, but if you want to get rid of them all, I will figure out something to do with them.

    Are there any good card shows in the Tacoma/Seattle Area?

    As previous posters have said, the dealers at the regular shows are almost always the same, so if you are looking for older stuff (i.e. anything more than 2 years old), their inventories get pretty stale. There used to be a great show at the Tacoma Dome a couple of times a year, but that is no...

    did Jim Kaat wear red pins?

    The really sad thing is that when I saw it, I immediately thought it was a white sox uni. I had completely forgotten that he played with the Phillies for a couple of seasons.

    did Jim Kaat wear red pins?

    Yes - the White Sox home unis had Red Pinstripes from 73-75 when he played with them, no to mention his time with the Phillies...

    Setting The Record Straight - PEDRO MARTINEZ

    Unless you happened to be Jeff Bagwell, who have never been proven to be a juicer, yet he seems to be guilty of taking steriods in the opinion of a large number of people.

    Has Anyone Read "The Echoing Green" About "The SHOT HEARD..

    I read it a couple of years ago. It is a fun read, especially the Branca/Thompson stuff. There wasn't anything earth shattering in it, but it was interesting how the signs were relayed using 1940's technology.

    Josh Hamilton 2000 Topps Tek Question.....

    I think that the card you have might be the tek color cards - those were patterns 16-20 and I know that yellow was one of the colors (and I am pretty sure it was pattern 18) they used and they were not serial numbered.

    Big Baseball events in the last so many years...

    So many memorable events, the ones I was actually at: Jeff Bagwell's only career HR in Fenway 2008 All-Star Game - all 15 innings of it The long standing ovation for Jaques Doucet, Montreal Expos Broadcaster, during their last home game in 2002 (when it was looking like it would be their last...
