    2008 Moment and Milestones... anyone seen a full set of any player?

    realistically, probably not as much as you'd like. There are several issues. First, Sheffield himself. Great player, but his personality turned some people off. Second, he's not terribly collected. Good for the people that DO collect him because it keeps prices down, but bad from the...

    WOW !!!! Did anyone see these Ebay auctions ? Un-Real !

    It's a popular set, and PSA just did an article on them in their newsletter one or two issues ago, probably got some people looking to scoop some up in hopes of grading and selling to the set registry members...

    What happened?

    Might want to talk to bdangelo, he does all kinds of book reviews about sports and the hobby. metrotheme is also a good one to ask, I know he's involved in sports writing, not sure on how into the sports card hobby that goes, but between them it's a decent start.

    Opinions as to why? Black ink/blue ink Yankees Signature Series

    I'll take the easy answer and say his pen died on the last one so he grabbed the closest available felt tip he had.

    Ticket stubs, are they that collectible?

    depends what you paid for them, what you're expecting to get for them, etc. For common dates, unless it's something player specific as you mentioned (Ryan no hitter, Koufax no no, Reggie Home run, etc) there is probably limited demand. I know I generally wouldn't pay more than $1 for them, but...

    Why Is Matt Wieters missing from Topps releases?

    Topps doesn't make money on individual players. They sell baseball cards, not Matt Wieters baseball cards or Derek Jeter baseball cards. It may have gone up some, but probably not a lot. For most players, it's the cool factor of being on a baseball card. Sure, they could try to hold out for...

    Boycott Topps

    True, but that's another mixed bag. Society has gotten so crazy about records over the years that the pressure to keep going gets blown ever more out of proportion, it must seem like there is no other option. After about 1990, and especially 1991, it was 'Ripken had such a great year it's...

    Opinions on Topps, UD licensing deals?

    I rarely see the plus side of an exclusive deal, unless I'm one of the parties directly involved. Have to buy certain products you may or may not like in order to get said player. Competition is good more often than not. As far as Upper Deck, if they can make a decent looking set, more power to...

    Why Is Matt Wieters missing from Topps releases?

    Good enough to make the demand worth the investment. Realistically, Topps name alone is good for $x in sales a year, would a Wieters card really sell that many more cases? It'll be a nice perk when they add it, but he isn't driving sales. Plus it sets bad precedents, if they give a huge offer...
