    My big find, i already had!

    I laugh every time a collector says, "I was going through an old box, and didn't remember I had these". But, wouldn't you know it, today I found that little card case. I started buying cards at the convenience store in 1977 at the age of 8. I remember pulling Bench, Carew, Jackson, Morgan...

    Wow! That is one cool story! We all dream of those kinds of treasures. It's like that big catch for a fisherman. Keep living the dream. Cheers, John

    Chasing Rookies in 2023

    So this is one of the cards I'm talking about. Expensive short print now. Assuming he's at least Posey/Mauer good, is this sought after?

    Chasing Rookies in 2023

    It sounds like we have a similar approach. What really got me thinking recently were the rookie inserts in Finest and the new chrome inserts featuring some stud rookies. Both can be expensive if you don't pull them, but so is stacking up on 3-4 lower end inserts and parallels. It will be...

    Wanted 80-early 2010's Rookies of Star Players

    Trade Deadline

    I wonder how much of it stems from the DH only role. Many players talk about how difficult a transition it is to full time, but I agree, he isn't helping the team trying to hit every ball out of the stadium.

    Trade Deadline

    So, Minnesota Twins. Already dealt the reliever we traded for at last year's deadline. Became unreliable as soon as he got here. Not disappointed in what we got back for him, but sure miss what we gave up the first time. Anyway, still dealing with injuries and half a Buxton, but starting...
