    Spring Cleaning finds

    Rearranging some boxes and found a small box of numbered cards from back when those were the flavor of the day. It was kind of fun to dig through those and see some familiar names and others who have long since been forgotten. (Richard Hidalgo, Joe Randa, etc) I think my biggest hit was a 1999...

    1986 Topps PSA 10 Ryne Sandberg

    Anyone else see the snippet on Sports Collectors Daily about the PSA 10 1986 Topps Ryne Sandberg passing the $1000 mark? Talk about having to fight the urge to buy some unopened rack/cello cases, or at least a box or two!

    Twinsfest 2013 experience

    A very mixed show experience for me. I'm guessing part of it is me getting older. It is by far the biggest show of the year, so I always make a point to go. The autograph lineup, pricing, and setup weren't quite my cup of tea. Last year or the year before, in order to combat the insane lines...

    A trip down Memory Lane

    I picked up some older boxes from Loyalty32 (thanks again Craig). Nothing huge, just a fun lot of a 1986 Fleer cello box, 1986 Topps Rack box and a 1987 Topps rack box. (There was also a 1991 Stadium Club Series 1 box, but I left that wrapped) I decided to look for star packs instead of...

    Playoff and active roster questions

    I picked up a Rule 5 player in the draft. Not my best move, he wasn't even close to ML ready, so I pretty much relegated him to mop up man #2, where he killed me the least. Can I remove him from the playoff roster and replace him with another eligible pitcher, and can the active roster (not the...

    Trade question

    The last trade I made with Heath, One of the players I got was 2B Leland Jeffery ML contract, when I went to assign him, it told me he was a RF with a Major league deal and had to be on the 40 man. Do they automatically get Major league deals if they get traded? I reset the position to 2B (20...

    Twinsfest

    I spent Saturday there this year. Still the biggest show in the area, but it's definitely smaller than it used to be. A lot of nice Twins stuff, but the autograph lines were insane. I tried getting a Danny Valencia autograph, but they cut off the player shift before I got up there. They drew...

    Stan Javier

    Does anyone know his signing habits? I picked up one from ebay from his Dodger days, right team, but not my preferred card. I see he seems to have a reasonable amount of signatures out there, mostly A's stuff. I am considering just sending him a 91 Topps and was wondering if anyone has had...
