Another package that arrived last week was from a trade with Jason in New York. The trade originated from my post selling medium flat rate boxes of hockey cards for $20 shipped. There are still several of these boxes available if anyone wants one. Only $20 shipped, or I will entertain a trade for CubsContinue reading “Jorge Soler Autograph and 2018 Cubs for a Medium Flat Rate Box of Hockey Cards”

Do You Want To Sell Your Base Cards? Sportlots is the Answer
Once upon a time you rode your bicycle to a local hobby shop, retail outlet, or grocery store to buy a pack of the latest Topps baseball cards. By the end of summer you may have been left over with half dozen Frank DiPino cards. Commons. Today we recognize those commons as “base cards,” andContinue reading “Do You Want To Sell Your Base Cards? Sportlots is the Answer”

Meet the 2018 Chicago Cubs Organization All Stars

The home run derby is one of my favorite events of the year, and more so this year with a pair of Cubs in the competition, Javier Baez and Kyle Schwarber. And what a show it was as Schwarber andContinue reading “Meet the 2018 Chicago Cubs Organization All Stars”
Allen & Ginter Has Become More Than Another Baseball Card Release
Sometime around 2012 or 2013 I began dabbling with baseball cards after a few years away from the hobby. A friend of mine, Kyle, who I worked with at Western Illinois University was a big Minnesota Vikings fan and football card and memorabilia collector. My baseball card hiatus was over and we would talk cardsContinue reading “Allen & Ginter Has Become More Than Another Baseball Card Release”
Jose Cardenal Feuds With Manager
I love history. Especially when it comes to local history, and especially Chicago Cubs history. The 1970’s is a fascination as it was the decade before my birth (1982). The local newspaper near my hometown has begun digitizing old issues, and is now updated through 1979 and on occasion I’ll pass the time by readingContinue reading “Jose Cardenal Feuds With Manager”
Topps Big League and Stadium Club 2018 Review

Big League is a new release catering to younger collectors. When first announced I expected it to be more like Opening Day and, for me, aContinue reading “Topps Big League and Stadium Club 2018 Review”

My Brushes With Greatness – Kerry Wood Edition
Today’s trade review comes from a package that I received last week. Since I caught a case of Bowman Platinum fever this post was put on the back burner. Steve from Tennessee is my trade partner this go around and it’s our third deal, with a fourth already in the works. We typically swap betweenContinue reading “My Brushes With Greatness – Kerry Wood Edition”
