    A couple additions to my rookie collection - Pujols and Ichiro

    Over the past two weeks I purchased both these from eBay. Each card was rather affordable, at least in comparison to their more notable rookies. The Pujols was $80 and the Ichiro $50.

    1 hanger pack 2017 Topps Heritage - gray back

    I've never been a fan of Heritage, but I'm addicted this year. After 3 blasters over the past month (with the highlights being only a purple ref hot box and a base Kris Bryant SP), I tried a hanger pack from Walmart today. It yielded nothing major at first glance, until I flipped through the...

    2017 Topps Heritage blaster - help needed

    On a whim i decided to try a blaster of 2017 Topps Heritage. I've been away from the hobby for a bit and this blaster threw me for a loop.

    LF: Kenny "Sky" Walker

Around 6 years ago, my mother and I went to Roys for a meal and noticed...
