“My hypocrisy only goes so far”
I'm your huckleberry...Mailbag
I got a couple more little yellow envelopes in the mail, and that always makes my day. Just wanted to share the fun. First up, my buddy Derek over at Tomahawk Chopping sent me a surprise package. He sent me an email saying he sent "a couple card you might like". Umm,...
Varsity Trading Cards
So, a last week as I'm talking about custom cards and how I've always wanted to do some (and actually print them), Chris from Varsity Trading Cards stops by and says "hi". We exchange a few emails and turns out that he's got a really awesome business going on. You...
Game Review: SSX
With my allocation of time and money being spent in other directions these days, I'm getting pretty picky about my video game selections. If it's not a AAA title or a $2 indie game, I'm probably not buying. One series that always gets my attention is SSX. I've been...
3rd Party Cluster
A word of advice to my baseball card friends. If you see something posted to the "Aggravation" category on this blog, it's going to be a legendary post. Also, NSFW, lot's of angry words. I know, it's a personal flaw, I'm working on it. If you're offended by f-bombs,...
Cross them off the list
I'm beginning to love the sight of my mailbox's little yellow flag being up. Another day, another yellow padded envelope. This time with a purpose. Normally I use group breaks as an opportunity to see (and acquire) sets I don't have. 95% of the time, if the set list...
Mystery Card
Anyone want to help me out with this one? This morning I stumbled across this card on ebay... Anyone want to tell me what's wrong with that picture? Jason Varitek, blue pin-stripe??? Ok trading card community, can anyone tell me A) If pin-stripes were ever worn for an...
Fixed Email
A quick apology, mostly to Greg, but also to anyone else that's tried to email me recently at this domain. Apparently, in a fit of spam-related rage, I turned on some ridiculously strict anti-spam measures. I had SpamAssassin set at a 2 (1-10, 1 being the strictest),...
Andrew Miller – Rookie Auto
So, I did something I don't normally do. I picked up a pre-Red Sox card for a player that may or may not even have a spot in the rotation this year. It was $0.99 with free shipping and I figured "why not". Normally I wouldn't have bothered, but on autographs I'm...
Trade with Ben at BaseballCardsRule
So, after I had posted the tradebait from the Tristar Show last month, Ben from Baseball Cards Rule gave me a buzz and was interested in a couple cards. We had actually met up with Ben before the show and had some breakfast. It was great to meet a fellow blogger in...
Penny Auction
I've got an active search saved on eBay for anything containing the words "Red Sox" and "lot" and starting at $0.01, not exceeding $1.00. I won just such an auction last week, spending a whopping $0.02, and it just showed up the other day. I got a couple duds, but for...
