My Dream Come True … 20 Years in the Making

20 years ago, at 12 years of age, I sat eagerly in the passenger seat while my mom drove me to the Tri Star card show to meet my childhood hero Jose Canseco.  This was before all the steroid controversy (though, after various dui's, domestic abuse accusations, etc.) - my folks said over and over again that I sure could pick 'em as far as heroes go.  Mom and I got to the line and asked the following question: "Do you want to have your picture taken with Jose for $50?"  DO I EVER!!!!!  But, money was tight, so we

The 12 MILLION Card Deal

Don'cha just love dealing with people onilne?  I have met plenty of fantastic people through Craig's List, various forums, the blogosphere, etc.  but man alive ... there are some real turds out there.  As a person who regularly partakes in the buying, selling and trading of items, I have come to find that most people are morons.  Ok, maybe that is taking it a bit far, but I'd estimate that 30% of all folks who say they will get something either stand you up, or their dog died for the 8th time, etc.  The others tend to be real tough

Trade of the Day

I don't do much trading, but I had reached out to a guy online who was selling his collection.  As it turns out, it was a guy who I had setup next to at a card show I was at.  He had a bunch of older wax and sets he was trying to get rid of.  He brought up the "x-factor" that all of us collectors have to deal with:  The wife. He mentioned that if he sold his collection, his wife would probably end up taking the money, so he'd like to keep it fun, and just keep it

‘Twas the Night Before Christmas

'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse; The empty gravity boxes were hung by the chimney with care, In hopes that packs of baseball cards soon would be there; The children were nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of superfractors danced in their heads Strasburg in its magnetic holder, a screw down held Shaq Both had been pulled from a few newly busted packs When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter, I ran downstairs and saw it was the batter Away to the

Are people normally just idiots, or are they all liars?

Over the past several years, both professionally and from a hobby perspective, I have run into many, MANY interesting characters.  Delving into buying and selling sports cards, among other things have really shown me how different people can be.  I think you tend to find out how diverse we really are ... especially when it comes to making a deal. I run into many things that I try to make a buck off of.  If I post a barbie, you get all kinds of moms who want them for their little girls, so they hop in their $50,000 SUV, and

Can Yu Spot the SP?

So, I did an "I Break, You Buy" for a feller named Ryan tonight on Blog TV.  A fun time was had by all.  While me, and the small crowd of people were waiting for Ryan to make his presence, the group was treated to a song, and dance by yours truly.  I promise I'm not on any meds.  By that same token, I can almost promise you that everyone there thinks I should be.  Ahh, teh interwebs... Anyway, The break was of a 2012 Topps 24 pack series II.  $24 gets you a LIVE and recorded bust of it,

1st Break – Mike672 for 2010 Topps Update 24 Pack Box

Here are the hits and the videos!  Mike672 opted to have me bust his box for him, video tape it, and he gets the hits.  He only paid $16 for the box, and left the commons behind, so he didn't have to pay to ship them.  I'd say he did really well!  It looks like about $80 worth of book value here.  Vintage Legends Babe Ruth & Jackie Robinson, Philadelphia A's Short Print, Nolan Ryan Short Print and Buster Posey Rookie Several rookies of Giancarlo Stanton, Jason Heyward & Starlin Castro FIVE Stephen Strasburg Rookies!

How would YOU like a Group Break where every team is YOURS?

I have about 220 or so factory sealed boxes left, and I'm going to offer this up to some folks.  I think this should be fun.  You pick from the list of unopened boxes I have here. Here is how it works.  Let's say you only want to buy a box of 2008 Goudey.  I sell that locally here for $25 (retail, it is $72 + Tax!)  but shipping would probably be another $6 or so.  $31 for the box delivered to you is still a great deal, but here is the difference.  You have *me* bust it for you
