The gum was barely edible when it was "fresh" in 1952, I bet (just like it was when I was growing up in the 80s.) lol. ... That's a great find. I have to do more nosing around like that on ebay. The only thing is it's sort of like a cruel tease because I don't have the money for it. ... You know...

I love some of the wild rewards collectors get. Sometimes entirely unrelated. Heck, at least it wasn't some promotion for some of the wild and crazed-eyed 1970s hockey players' teeth. lol. Thanks for sharing the link on wikipedia too.

Palm to forehead. Yowza. That's painful just reading that. Oof, hits me in the gut too.

Ok, depends all on your own viewpoint, but what's -- in your opinion -- the hottest baseball card of 2013? And, what complete set would you want over any other, just because of the value it has to you? What card set from 2013 do you think will have the greatest collector value?

lol. They have a good nature and good sense of humor. I think there isn't one person in this country who wouldn't love to see them win the World Series. Great city and great fans and just such a curse on 'em. Oh well, hopefully soon.

Very nice collection just those four cards. Love the way you have them stored too. Will be well-preserved for a long time. Enjoy them because that's like having a treasure chest.

Kind of a mean surprise because they don't tell everyone. That set was like an odd lot of cards. Kind of like buying the mystery junk bag at a retail store. Are you buying 150 multi-colored rubberbands or are there three diamond rings inset in white gold in there? lol.

What do you think of the Beckett (not Topps) set this year? It's all over the place but so many interesting pop topics covered along with baseball. Too weird or worth the time? ... Ok, glad to hear your opinion on the sites and their marked (good word) box breaks and super hits. Yup, seems to be...

Wow, knowledgeable card collectors who know the sport and entertaining? I learned so much just from the cover and the 1 of 1 right in there, which is why we don't just toss the box. :) Do love how he just rips that cover off! lol. ... Do you think Topps knew who they were selling the set to and...

The Braves have some very talented players right now. Good personalities too. Freeman, McCann, Hudson, Heyward, etc. But this year, Gattis is it. I mean the guys had at least as many crazy odd-jobs as I have had and he ends up on the Braves as a strong player. Love him!

Yeah, the Tigers do have some likable talents there. Very strong players and like that you gave some props to their pitchers.

They could hire any one of the moderators here to do their box breaks and get it right. I'm sure everyone at Opeechee was wrangling in their seat and wincing at the sight of greasy hair oils getting all over their cards along with lingual missteps on NHL player names.

Yeah, it's definitely for love of it! When I can't afford to buy more I try to reminisce and look back at the ones I already have. When did I get them? What was I doing?, etc. :)

Randy should be getting paid to do some box breaks. At least it would be something coming in and you'd get to do what you love. Only, obviously they could keep you far away from the hockey ones, lest get sued. lol. Yeah, but if you're hired to do it you probably rehearse a little and do practice...

I am a baseball card collector and surprised that the 80s era of basketball cards was also so diluted of a marketplace. I seriously would have thought some of the hot basketball dynasties and those famous player cards would be worth a mint today. That's really sad to hear. Glad you are enjoying...

Yeah, Randy, I can't wait until you get to do your box breaks again. ... I kind of think they should have focused the camera entirely on the box and not on her, zooming in on names, cards, etc. Plus, now that you mention it I feel like her hair looks dirty and oily, but maybe it's just once you...

I thought the sky would fall with such a union. It's unheard of for a Philadelphia team owner to take the helm of anything in NJ, especially because the Flyers are a nemesis to the Devils. Huh. Shrug. I'm a little afraid to open my eyes. Is the world still in one piece?

Actually I re-read it and was thinking, hmm, the only reason they pulled him over because he was making turns that were too wide. You know you live in NASCAR land when ...

Welcome. You'll have a great time putting together box breaks here, I think. People are really fun to talk to and share information with here. Enjoy it and just have a blast!

Thanks for posting this. Will have to get this out to some of my friends. 'Bout time someone with some pull spoke up about what all the fans have been saying for years now. Yeah, in that way, he's right. They have left the fans behind because they just ignore them and are getting too fancy. Hmm.
