    Where to find Top Loader and Semi-Rigid Cardboard Storage Boxes. . .?

    I've been searching in various outlets and would like to know if any of you know where I'd be able to purchase cardboard storage boxes manufactured for top loaders and semi-rigids. It's a little inconvenient and hard to organize the way I have them now in your typical horizontal boxes. Any...

    Beckett tries to explain the Stras 9.5

    I've only been back in the hobby for a little over a year now and was actually thinking of sending a stack of cards in within the next month or two. This one really put a stinger in the neck of any future grading. The main reason I like the BGS method is the subgrading but with this debacle it...

    Most Aesthetically Pleasing Player Penmanships..

    Well I don't believe that "legibility" is the paramount standard of the autograph. I personally think that Griffey AUTO jrchoholic is ridiculously nice.. I mean if it were, then it wouldn't be an autograph it'd be a printed version of their name which probably would detract from what is...

    Most Aesthetically Pleasing Player Penmanships..

    Good ole' Michael Cuddyer! Another Hampton Roads native, occasionally talked about on the Mercurio show locally here. Not a bad sig. at all, looks kind of like a throwback sig. (if there even is such a thing ?:confused:?).. As for Mussina's auto, enh, hopefully that's not the best example of...

    Most Aesthetically Pleasing Player Penmanships..

    ..(Subject alliteration unintended). I thought of this earlier when looking at this AP auction. While my thoughts are mainly limited to Football players (as that's all I collect), I must say that Adrian Peterson's AUTO is just sick. It fits his personage and style of play. It's symmetrical yet...

    Bo jackson site!!

    XD Isn't it great that now we have nostalgia from those early days of the 'net? I remember using AOL 2.5, that was my first experience with it. And the first screen name we used is still in existence to this day! Almost 14 years later. I remember being like 6-7 watching Bo playing for the...

    Signs The Hobby Has Permeated Your Daily Life

    Hey there Benchies. So it's been a little over 6 months that I got back into the hobby intensely. And I'm know starting to notice the little aspects of it get into my daily life.

    1990 Pro Set Football

    Hey guys. I've recently taken to task the arduous endeavor of trying to complete the 1989 and 1990 Pro Set Football sets. Being a guy who tends to be overly organized and a "set completionist" I've found it exceedingly hard in completing these sets, not only because of the extremely tough errors...

    2010 Exquisite Football

    Hey folks. I'm still relatively new to The Bench but I've been ate up with the hobby bug for the past 6 months and I've lately been buying an occasional high-end football box (purchased two UD Black Football boxes recently). Does anyone have any information on how much the 2010 Exquisite...

    2009 Topps Chrome Football Hobby Box - No Autographed Rookie?

    Yeah I figured I'd call them. I bought the box from an eBay seller, but I'm also 99% the box is from the factory, it had the right average of refractors and subset inserts as most other hobby boxes I've opened but maybe just the average didn't equal out on this box. I'll find out soon enough.

    Opinions on grading a Dan Marino Rookie (Pics Included)

    Hello folks. I believe this is my first post on The Bench. And as an ice breaker I'll regale you with my recent purchase of 1984 Topps Football Wax Box that I just finished going through (thought about saving a couple of packs that looked nice and had the perfect looking roller seals but I love...
