2010-11-29T22:04:00.001-08:00

2010-11-29T21:44:00.000-08:00

A bunch more people joined the contest, so I'm going to start it tonight. Be ready guys. The first post should be up by 9. Afterward I'll probably do one post per day. One change to the rules: Originally, you had to guess the price without shipping. But now I will specify on each picture whether you need to factor in shipping when guessing the price. Some pictures will have a partial ebay

2010-07-17T19:53:00.000-07:00

I will be holding my very first contest over the next couple weeks. I figured since I don't get many comments, I had to come up with some way to boost readership. So here it is, The Price is Right. I've never actually seen The Price is Right so I may get the concept totally wrong. Oh well, sue me! Basic Rundown:The idea of the contest will be to guess the cost of recent ebay items that I

Card Shop Lot

2010-07-08T15:07:00.000-07:00

Recently I went to the card shop near my house and walked away with these. They were $1 each, which seems sort of pricy in terms of what I've read other people can get cards for at their local shops but oh well. These two are for my Jeter Collection. The serial numbered insert is kinda lame now that I think about it, but the Playoff Bound foil card is cool.I get the impression that the All

2010-07-08T14:07:00.000-07:00

Here are some highlights from a trade I made with Cameron from Cardboard Heaven. He sent me some cards for my player collections and an auto that is very much appreciated. Here are my favorites of the Halladays that he sent.Then there were some Mauer cards. Here are a few.Then there was this Joe Mauer game used card. It's my first for Mauer so I was pretty stoked. It also just barely has a

Recently Cards on Cards and I worked out a trade, and here are some highlights of what was sent to me.8 JetersThe Derek Jeter Retrospectrum card is my favorite. It is the first card that I have of this 100 card set, which will prove to be a toughy to collect.There are soo many serial numbered cards of jeter from the 08 heroes set, so it's nice to knock this black version off the list of ones

Some more Chicle

2010-06-21T18:18:00.000-07:00

Nope, no Stephen Strasburg hereI've opened 7 packs of Chicle prior to this blaster, and my luck has been fairly good.

Are Painted Cards Really Painted?

2010-05-20T10:24:00.000-07:00

This posts is an offshoot on the discussion that jswakos started at "A Priceless Pursuit". The question is: Are painted sets really painted?*This is just my interpretation of the cards, not necessarily truth.Subject 1: Allen and Ginter2009 Allen and Ginter base cards are not in fact painted. They are photos that are converted into a sketch looking form on the computer, which are then placed in

2010-05-13T07:03:00.000-07:00

NOT SAFE NOT SAFESAFE???So we all have heard about the older card protecting products that will damage your cards by leaching chemicals over time. This same type plastic has been a culprit in more recent warnings about Nalgene water bottles. Maybe I'm taking the threat to seriously, but this risk scares the heck out of me when buying things to protect my cards.If the product doesn't advertise

2010-05-04T06:14:00.001-07:00

So after a long absence due to school work, I am back (at least for the summer).

I got a great package from Brandon probably close to 3 weeks ago now. I owe him an apology for not posting these sooner, especially since he sent me some really great cards. Go check out his blog. I still owe him a package but I'm hoping to have another little something to add in to what I already have set aside. Well, lets get to what he sent me.4 Derek JetersVery nice. I like Jeter,

Players I Collect (Abbreviated)

2010-01-31T08:48:00.000-08:00

For at least the first half of 2010 I have decided to go with an abbreviated list of players that I collect. I was finding that it was too difficult to collect soo many players. In an effort to collect all of them, I wasn't fully collecting any of them. The four main players that I collect will remain that same, however my list of secondary collections has been limited to 4. Without further

So A while ago I posted 4 packs of 09 Topps Chrome that I had gotten from Rite-Aid. Well I decided to go back for 2 more of these. I was drawn in by the fact that it was Rite-Aid and they actually had Topps Chrome. I couldn't pass on the opportunity.This was a couple weeks ago, so some of these cards have already made their way into packages for other bloggers, But I figured I might as well

Today I read a post on The Priceless Pursuit about serial numbering and it insprired this response from me. I put a good amount of thought into my comment so I figured I'd put it in a post.

My Take on Chicle

2010-01-10T09:18:00.000-08:00

I love art, I love producing art, I love looking at art, I love analyzing art. Therefore must I love National Chicle? My first question is how to pronounce this name? Is it like saying the word "gum" in Spanish, which is pronounced cheek-lay?So back to the main discussion. What do I think of National Chicle? Well, basis the pictures that have been released the set looks very rough and

Little did I know that I had forgotten to bring my four leaf clover with me. DarnWell here's $7.50 down the drain. I should have instead bought a second of the baseball grab bags with a guaranteed relic that the shop owner had put together for $5. The one that I bought

A Merry Christmas to Me

2009-12-28T20:55:00.000-08:00

For Christmas I was given a total of FOUR hobby boxes! I was sooo excited for every one of them. Before Christmas this year I had never before opened a hobby box, so you could imagine my sheer joy to now have 4 to open. They were all boxes that I had really wanted; however some of the turn outs were better than others.The first of these boxes was 2007 UD Masterpieces. A year ago I had opened a

2009-12-28T16:43:00.000-08:00

I have a ton of stuff to post. There are several trade packages to post not to mention that I still need to get the return packages in the mail. My family is non-stop action during the holidays so forgive me when it comes to falling behind. I also had an awesome christmas filled with many baseball cards. Can't wait to show them off to everyone. Tonight I plan to have a trade post and a hobby

Ebay: Apparently I was the only ebayer to find these Sweet Spot cards to be Sweet

2009-11-17T14:24:00.000-08:00

Last week ebay got the better of me, and I won a couple auctions from two sellers. Anyone who has ever used ebay to add to their collection knows how addicting it can be. It always starts with an innocent web search for info on a card, then you accidentally click a link for an ebay auction regarding this card. Next you spot a must have item in one of the many auction links that come up.

Pulls: Paper Thin Packs'O Goodwin

2009-11-15T09:35:00.000-08:00

I kinda like this set but these are quite possibly the thinnest packs I have ever felt! Four cards of relatively thin stock, one of which isn't even a full size card. But hey, the turn outs after opening 5 packs haven't been too bad. 2 Derek Jeter12 Matt Cain36 Lyndon Johnson67 Josh Beckett70 Chuck Liddell90 Jonathan ToewsMy man Jeter; it's a good card of him.

Ebay Purchase: Gotta Love Ebay

2009-11-09T14:18:00.000-08:00

So recently I did some scouring of ebay to bolster my player collections. I found this one really great ebay seller. Every one of his auctions was a "buy it now" for either $1 or $2 in which he allowed you to pick a specified number of cards that he had available from the auction category. I felt like I was in ebay heaven, I didn't even have to outbid anyone.YR19 Alex RodriguezYR13 Roy

2009-11-03T14:12:00.000-08:00

Hey, I have some 2009 Topps Chrome to show off today. I like the chrome product, mostly because they are hardy cards and I like the refractors that are reasonably plentiful. I bought 4 packs of 7 cards at Wal-Mart and this is what I got:The Basic:22 Justin Morneau42 Kosuke Fukudome70 Scott Rolen70 Scott Rolen78 Joe Crede95 Stephen Drew 109 Aramis Ramirez

Pulls: Upper Deck Spectrum 07 & 08

2009-11-01T08:47:00.000-08:00

I thought I'd post some Spectrum cards I pulled the other day. I had bought a pack of the 2007 Spectrum from dacardworld.com along with some other stuff that will be posted at another time. Then I got the 2008 Spectrum cards from a pack that was in a repack box in Walmart. It's really a bummer that while I'm at school my collecting is limited to whatever I can find at the local Walmart.

Pulls: Three Pack Re-Pack

So here's what I got....2007 Topps Turkey Red:I figured I'd start with the rookies:186 Yovani Gallardo153 Andy LaRoche141 Kevin KouzmanoffOn to the vets:138 Shawn Green95 Derek Jeter150 Ken Griffey Jr.78 Curt SchillingAnd then...

Intro:

I am new to the blogging world, but not new to collecting. For the past year or so I have spent plenty of time on ebay and elsewhere educating myself about baseball cards, looking to buy at bargain values and expand my collection. I've found that collecting for monetary value without being willing to shell out some cash is extremely difficult and that the time spent doing so is more valuable
