    Yet another eBay disappointment

    I'm 0-for-1 on eBay as of yesterday; first box set I've bought online, $22 thing and it came in a flimsy box that is apparently called a 'shipping' box but is nothing I would use to ship in, and it wasn't taped well. Not worth shipping back, and already the guy isn't taking care of it even...

    Random Trivia - 1973 Topps Joe Rudi

    Thanks you, LarryG. That's the one...yeah, '72 & '73 are of course quirky because of the airbrushed pics, and lots of off-center cards, especially '73. You had the Senators moving to Texas as the Rangers, so every single '72 Rangers card has a headshot that is airbrushed and looks silly.

    Random Trivia - 1973 Topps Joe Rudi

    Random trivia out of, well, left field. This may be old news to most but just in case I'll lay it out, maybe provide some additional fun facts. The 1973 Topps Joe Rudi card shows a game action scene featuring three A's players who appear to be shaking hands. Just one problem; none of the three...

    May 2023 ToppsNOW orders

    Man; finding the forum today and then getting in on this, I feel like I came home from college to a party being thrown in my honor. Plus, the first couple of forums I tried to register with either wanted my phone number, or my physical address. And I would do that theses days, why? Thank you! MT

    Let’s Talk Some Baseball

    Thanks...yeah, the Conforto acquisition caused some second-guessing in these parts, but I finally figured out not to listen to sports radio. EDIT; changing this a bit because I don't think I said what I meant. Sportstalk on the radio has been forced into drama-mongering, and so much of it is...

    Let’s Talk Some Baseball

    In NorCal, Giants/A's. Need I say more?...I will anyway...A's, I don't think anybody really thought it would be this bad. Fujinami? Umm, I don't have words for that fiasco. They also haven't admitted to themselves that Alan Oller is the poster child for 'pitching is thinner because of expansion...

    Topps comes through...I was 9 years old when Gene Tenace rocked the Big Red Machine in the '72 WS. Really took notice of this recent card.

    Any '89 Score Baseball Fans Out There?

    Hey all - newbie here, cleaning out closets where I grew up and it's time to start selling some stuff. Of course finding the hobby very different from when I grew up buying a wax pack of 10 cards for .10 and getting frustrated to get yet another Hank Aaron '73 (why does Topps have him looking up...
