    If only their colors weren't black and PINK

    Wow, someone from Japan won it. Didn't expect that.

    If only their colors weren't black and PINK

    When it was still sitting at $99, I went ahead and dropped a $101 bid. This is one of those times where I kind of wish I knew who ends up with it. It's a pity it didn't end a few days earlier, someone could have dressed as Meulens for Halloween.

    1988/89 Topps Doubleheaders Yankees/Mets

    Thanks for posting the photo! Now I at least know it really exists, even though I'll likely never own one.

    The dust settlles,..

    Just like the banks own Congress, the card companies own Beckett. The only credible pricing seems to come from auction results and online shops, and the only credible news seems to come from blogs and message boards run by actual collectors. As far as the cards themselves go, I can't tell...

    If only their colors weren't black and PINK

    I've got 4 days to think about it. Someone has bid on it now, though, so I have to set a limit for myself. It's still a much better deal than all those ugly Pirates vests people are selling, but I'll have to figure out what to do with it. I already own a fake Steiner certified Yankees batting...

    If only their colors weren't black and PINK

    I'm not afraid to say I'm no Bret Hart and am not man enough to pull off wearing this jersey and/or jacket. It is taking all the self control I have not to pull the trigger on this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1994-HENSLEY-MEULENS-CHIBA-LOTTE-MARINES-JAPAN-GAME-WORN-JERSEY-PANTS-JACKET-/360403718400

    PC Help...GU cards really used by that player on the card? Or just chopped up bats?

    The MLB reps are there to authenticate anything being made available for sale, they're not logging the actual per-instance use of the items. Just that, yes, THIS particular item came from Denard Span. This was actually Jim Thome's 600th home run ball. They're tracking that the items are...

    PC Help...GU cards really used by that player on the card? Or just chopped up bats?

    I'm hoping for a hobby-wide loss of interest in GU cards, so the prices will all tank and I can catch up on my Winfield collection.

    You Gotta check out COMC!

    I would say no, but there are a lot of even less valuable commons on the site already, and more being added every day. I guess if you can make enough off the high dollar cards that losing a bit on the commons isn't a big deal, then it might be worth it.

    Player collectors are crazy people.

    hobby magazine index

    A lot of player collectors go far beyond cards, and like to pick up magazines with their player on the cover or featured in an article. I mean, why have checklists of a lot of baseball cards you don't have? What possible use could that be? For me, this is strictly a research tool. Back in...

    hobby magazine index

    Since I've got a stack of old hobby magazines from the 80s & early 90s piled up in the house, I was thinking of starting a baseball card (or more generically sports card) periodical index something akin to the Reader's Guide to Periodical Literature we all used to use back in school when doing...

    What was the first box you ever opened?

    1986 Topps. And boy was it a dud. 1 Clemens, no Coleman, no Fielder, no Gooden, no Mattingly, no Boggs, no Dykstra, no Eric Davis. I bought the box at a flea market in 1987 for $18. I was about 11 at the time. Live and learn, I guess.

    Thank you! I found the checklist on your site.

    State of the Hobby? YOUR thoughts please!

    My hobby is going well, I'm adding lots of cards to my player collections, constantly researching oddball issues and enjoying interacting with other collectors via blogs and message boards. The sports card hobby as a whole, I think is in a slow death spiral due to the lack of new collectors...

    YSL distribution

    Has anyone worked out the breakdown of which YSL cards were packed in which Upper Deck products? While I'm generally cheap when it comes to adding to my collection, and I've managed not to pay more than about $1.75 for any one of Winfield's YSL cards, but it occurs to me that those that were...

    You Gotta check out COMC!

    Well, part of the issue here is some of the "hard to find cards" are gone by the time you go searching for them. Since you can get an RSS feed to your searches on COMC (similar to the saved searches on eBay), it's easy to snap up cards you need as soon as they hit the site. On eBay, the cards...

    Anyone? Not even our resident Eric Chavez collector?

    Was there a 2010 Oakland A's team set giveaway?

    Just to see what it would show, I punched in the tracking code on the back of one of last year's SF Giants Emerald Nuts SGA cards, and it gave me this: Product: 2010 Topps BB SF Giants Promo Packs CP code: W73621045 Manufacturer: Graphic Converting Texas Manufacturer date...

    SF Giants team set giveaway (Sept 10th)

    The set arrived this afternoon. I'll get the trade posted and start a thread in the appropriate forum for the rest of the cards.
