Interview with Elton Brand Super Collection Winner

Recently, we got to catch up with Kevin M. of Washington, to hear more about how his life has changed ever since becoming the proud new owner of the Elton Brand Super Collection.  Read this exclusive interview here.  How did you run across this auction? Actually, I wrote a computer program that aggregates my searches across Craigslist, Amazon, Ebay, PoliceAuctions.com, ShopGoodwill.com and a few other sites like MuletsGalore.com and its sister site, nightowlcards.blogspot.com. The program has been running on my supercomputer for several years with zero hits, so when this one came up, I knew I had to have it.

A note to myself when getting googly-eyed at blaster boxes

I was gonna do a video of myself addressing me of the future, but figured I'd chillax on the whole vid thang for a while.  Instead, here is a letter: Dear me of the future, You are reading this because for whatever reason, you are planning on buying boat loads of blaster and retail boxes ... heck ... even hobby boxes.   Some of the many, many boxes I picked up this past winter.  Man, was that fun!  Possible causes are: - it is your birthday or christmas - there is a monster card show in town - you have read

Interview with a vampire, err…pack searcher

So this past week, one would find me celebrating my birthday 12th 21st birthday the way I always do - with baseball cards, good food and cheesecake.  During my lunch break, before going out to eat with the fam, we went to hit up a few targets and wal-marts.  I normally don't buy full-priced boxes, and usually only buy full collections, but I thought I would go ahead and splurge, since you only turn 21 12 times!  At target, my wife left my son and I to rummage through all the blaster boxes, and here he came:  a man who was all

…and I thought I was having a bad year

Last night, as I was laying in bed, waiting for the wifey to finish brushing her teeth, I received a response from an ad I saw placed:  50 complete sets of baseball cards.  Ok, I'll bite.  I start asking what sets, how much, where located, etc.  We end up texting, and he says the sets are complete, he lives 20 minutes away from me, and the sets are 1980 Topps, 1981 Topps, 1985 Donruss, etc. and he said he had lots of doubles.   I was asking how much he wanted, and he said 3-5.  I thought he was saying he wanted

There is a lesson to be learned here … somewhere….

I just read a blog posting from someone I follow here and for some reason it reminded me of an incident I had many moons ago, when I was 13.  The year: 1993.  The place:  Eckerds (when they carried cards). 13 year old tanmanbaseballfan strolled in to grab a few packs of 1992-93 Ultra and Stadium Club in hopes of snagging a Shaquille O'neal rookie card.  Just then, comes a short hispanic kid from my school with a HUUUUGE jacket on.  He was up to no good. As I got my packs and paid, he slinked out the door, without even looking

5,500+ Unopened Packs of Pure Goodness

I have a confession to make.  I obsessively write down purchases on any cards I acquire.  it is an addiction.  No doubt, whenever I buy a blaster box at the store, I always make the note next to it "stupid buy!" or "why did I get this again?"  It pains me to see $20 go down the drain for a $1 jersey card of a nobody and 50 accompanying base cards.  I found a guy one time who was selling a collection from a family member who had passed away.  He mentioned there were a lot of unopened packs of
