Forget the Moustache Card … How about a FINGER Card?

When Canseco shot himself in the finger, and said he may try to sell it on Ebay, I had a TON of people write me saying I should reach out to obtain his missing digit and make a card out of it. A week or 2 ago, as a fun promotional item, Jose played on an independent baseball team and they gave out foam hands missing part of the middle finger.  I was able to pick one up that was signed ... I love it! With exciting as this is, nothing ... and I mean NOTHING compares to what I

The Mouschi Code – What’s in the Rip Card?

As many of you know already, I am running a contest for forum members to guess how much this card ends up selling for: . Whoever gets closest, gets this: People have been asking me like crazy ... WHAT IS IN THE CUSTOM RIP CARD!??!

Everyone gets 3 guesses if you haven't already posted in my

Buy My Moustache … Plus a Chance to WIN!

Ever since I debuted my upper lip equipped with a manly handlebar moustache, I have heard TANNER!  You absolutely MUST make a card with your moustache (or mustache, if you prefer spelling it that way.) We all knew that it was going to happen.  Well, friends - the time has come.  Years ago, Allen & Ginter debuted this idea with a hair from Abraham Lincoln. It was a framed mini relic. I was going to do that as well, but instead, I decided to amp it up a bit.  Instead of using an Allen & Ginter card, I opted for a full size

Ripping Apart More 1 of 1’s, plus a Custom Frame and … a Lego Relic Card?

This week, I had several things going on.  I updated my checklist up to 2014, which took HOURS, but it was worth it.  The only downside I see is how many cards are out there that I will never see.  Did you know that Canseco has over 300 cards that are 1/1's alone?  Crazy!  Hopefully my checklist will assist others when they are digging in their collections to sell me Canseco cards I don't have. One of the cards that came in this week was a 2015 Gypsy Queen Canseco autographed mini #/10.  Topps never put it in a frame,

FREE Card!

There is a guy I know who, by the world's standards is FILTHY rich.  The amount of time and money he gives is negligible, when compared to what he has. He is the type of guy that, while many look at, think that he is doing alright, and probably a good guy, but if you were to be able to camp out in his brain for a while, you would be amazed with how many thoughts start out with "I", "me" or "my". I'm embarrassed to say this, but the person I'm talking about is me.  See?  There I go

Lego / Allen & Ginter Cross-Over

Based upon feedback from some people on the forums from my past post, I do wonder what you, my highly valued reader, think of my passion for collecting Canseco cards. Perhaps you were wondering some of the following about me: Is his favorite number 33? Does mouschi roll out of bed in the morning in his Jose PJ's on, then throw on #33's jersey and head to his office - an office that is plastered with life sized posters? Does he take virtually any song I sing in his head and replace the lyrics with "Jose Canseco"? Is it possible

My Crusade is Finished!

If you recall, I made up a version of a Crusade card, but with Canseco as a Blue Jay. It took me a few tries ... and I even played with a dual game used version ... but decided that was too crowded. I wanted to play with the colors ... and even recreate the logo ... In the end, I came up with this ... But I wanted to make sure that not only was my name on the front, but also have my face on the back ... The final looked much more polished, and when Jose got

Bash Brothers Custom Card that Isn’t Supposed to Exist

Ladies and Gentlemen, It has been a long time in the making, and is really hard for me not to build this up too much, only to have you be seriously let down in the end.  Just understand that at the end of this, you will think to yourself "pfffbt...that was all?"  (This is me trying to bring your expectations back down.) Okay, I'll stop going around in circles and get to it.  This might just be one of the most important pieces I have made ever.  Technically speaking, there isn't necessarily a WOW factor.  It doesn't have a player's tooth
