Nothing but the Tooth
The Yankee Chipper, and that's the tooth! Puns have run amok since Aaron Judge broke his tooth while celebrating a Brett Gardner walk-off home run the other night, so I couldn't resist. Can you blame me? :)
Jose Canseco Super Collector UPDATED Top 10 Game Used / Autographed Cards in My Collection
QUICK!!! Your house is on fire, and you can only save ten cards in your collection. What are they?! That is the question I posed to a friend of mine. As a Jose Canseco super collector I do this with myself as well, and it almost ALWAYS seems like I spend too much time spinning my wheels trying to figure out what they are. I have mad love for 80s/90s inserts and prototypes, but I always seem to gravitate toward the shiny high-end stuff. Even still, I'm going to go ahead and limit this to my top 10 favorite game used /
Jose Canseco Super Collector RAREST Non 1/1 Cards
Someone made a post on Blowout Forums asking for people to post their rarest non 1 of 1 cards. This is right in my wheelhouse, so instead of just posting a card, I ended up posting several ... along with some tl;dr descriptions :) It was intriguing enough, I thought I'd share it here as well (with a little more verbiage as well!) RAREST Non 1/1 Jose Canseco Super Collector Cards FLEER VAULT UNRELEASED PROTOTYPES These were mock ups that never materialized, and came out after the Fleer bankruptcy. They are on paper stock instead of card stock, and I have
Happy Allen & Ginter Day!
In honor of A&G being released today, I thought I'd have some photoshop fun. Here is what the real boxes/packs look like: And here is what they look like after I had some photoshop fun w/them :) Happy A&G Day! #bringmeyourcanseco
2000 Pacific Crown Royale Uncirculated Archive Proofs
In 2000, Pacific came out with a Crown Royale die-cut set. These beautiful cards feature gold foil and were die cut in the shape of a crown. In typical Pacific fashion, they produced a number of parallels to this. The most notable are the 2000 Crown Royale proofs. These black and white offerings were printed on clear acetate and fell less than one per box. Greater still, are the 2000 Pacific Crown Royale Proofs serial numbered to 50. These cards are the exact same as above, but with a gold stamped box and serial numbered. It took me two
HOW TO: Enhance a National Treasures Bash Brothers Booklet – With Pictures
I'm going to keep my writing to a minimum, and try to tell the story mostly with pics. In 2015, Panini came out with the first BASH BROTHERS booklet card. It came in two flavors: Autographed and Patch. They were numbered to just 5 each. The Autographed booklet Pros: First and currently only "real" autographed booklet of the brothers in bash. Cons: Drab looking, it says "combo materials" instead of "combo signatures", the McGwire autograph is UPSIDE DOWN (NOTE: To the others who have this card, please do not think I'm putting this card down - I really want one!) The
New High End, Customs and … High End Customs!
On the heels of a dry spell, things have picked up ... a lot, and that is in no small part to being hit with the releases of Topps Series 2, Museum and Tier One. (Stay tuned! Stadium Club, Allen & Ginter and Clearly Authentic ALL drop within a few weeks as well!) I just hit a milestone, passing up 600 pack-pulled autographs of Canseco alone! Before showing off some of the latest 2017 stuff, I wanted to show some of the other cool cards: This Stadium Club Ring Leaders is cool enough by itself, but as it isn't all
Interesting Story about 1990 Topps George Bush + Other Musings
This article is a mere 4 years old today, but I've never seen it and enjoyed the read, as well as the questions that it kicked up in my head. https://www.psacard.com/articles/articleview/7795/hobby-update-by-george-its-complicated-1990-topps-bush-baseball-card Cliff's notes: The story on this card is that 100 were made and specifically presented to/for the White House. The quantity has been challenged, as Topps sheets typically have 132 on them, and some card shop owners in Illinois claimed to pull one from a pack, even though Topps claimed it as being impossible. A former Topps employee also took 70 copies and sold them privately. Here is where
