• The most valuable MLB card of the year was pulled, and scalpers are in free fall

This story is good on so many levels. Collecting cards is absolute hell. It’s been that way since the pandemic. It was around this time thousands of people stopped looking at cards as collectibles, and instead took to them as legalized gambling — not only driving prices up to astronomical levels, but making it almost impossible for regular joes to get their hands on cards for a decent price. This ...2025

• More from the Braves collector who sure has a lot of Dodgers

Johnny's Trading Spot sent me a big box of Dodgers-and-such a little more than a month ago. It was so large that it took me three posts to go through.Well, apparently he wasn't done because another box of cards showed up a week or two ago. It was mostly Dodgers this time. As I've said before, Johnny sure has a lot of Dodgers for a Braves fan.I can tell he's cutting back -- maybe not enough f...2024

• 2023: the best, the worst, the ... same old, same old ahead

In reflecting on the past card year I've realized that this end-of-the-year tradition probably needs some adjusting.A lot of the categories that I've used year after year don't really apply. For example, "Best Pulls," is for when I opened a lot of retail product, but I don't do that anymore. I didn't pull a single autograph this year, almost no variations or anything other than a random reli...2024

A couple of comments in my last post, combined with a long-overdue discovery, combined with the mailman apparently not feeling like delivering on my street today, led to this post.

• A history of 1975 Topps tributes continued

I have a couple of 1975 Topps-centric posts to publish before the 50th anniversary year of my favorite set -- and my first year of buying cards -- is through. This is the first of those posts.

• Grateful

Why do I continue to show off recent "trade packages" when I know there's limited interest and the views will be low, perhaps lower than ever? A few reasons: 1. Easy content. I'll admit, it's an easy post. Maybe that's why people don't read. They know I didn't open a vein. 2. It's the right thing to do.

First off, thanks to those who showed me the way on TCDB for the 1977-79 Sportscaster cards. I received responses via the comments, email and on social media.
