• 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

• While he's digging, I'm deciphering

(*music fans, go to the end)The National is this coming weekend and I know several collectors who are attending. Many of them attend every year or close to it. I'll be in my usual spot, spending much less money and happy not to deal with crowds. Meanwhile, I have some cards here from someone who is planning to go to the big show in Chicago, or maybe is already on the way to digging in discoun...2025

• 2001 Topps Chrome "Before There was Topps" refractors

Y'all know I like refractors. Well, one niche that especially interests me are guys' 1st Refractor, specifically talking about old-timers who played before such parallels were a thing. And in poking around, I found this 10-card "Before There was Topps" insert set from 2001 Chrome that features the first refractor produced of several inner-circle HOFers, and so I went about completing it.

• 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 good fit

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. Some folks mentioned yesterday how they skip oversized cards because of the difficulty in storing them. I'm assuming this mostly pertains to fitting them into pages, because you can probably find a box to fit...2023

• A lot dumber than I thought

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. I agree, it's quite the morass -- way too many variations -- but it's a little more decipherable (at least more readable) than those Donruss back variations. I tend to excuse variations and such when they are cards connected to my...2024
