Airbrushed Fridays: 1985 Topps #535
I've got a little bit of a milestone coming up soon and a little bit of a giveaway to go along with it. Oops, I may have said too much.Who is this week's victim, and why do we care? Pat Putnam was a first baseman who played in parts of eight major league seasons over the course of his career. Show More Summary
Trade Bait - Updated 05/23/03
Welcome to the Cards on Cards Trade Bait Bonanza. There's nothing very earth-shattering here, but each card is at least worth talking about, in my opinion. I will keep this post permanently linked on the sidebar, and will bump it to the top of the blog every time I add new cards. Show More Summary
Why Are We Writing on Cards Again?
The long time affordable group break host Cardboard Collections held a box bust of fancy cards from more than a decade ago, which is also how things usually become affordable in the first place. It seems that no one was able to squirrel...Show More Summary
Kids Dig the Bowman
The Topps monopoly forces me to pretend from time to time that there's an alternative to their usual brand of products. It's times like these that I look forward to buying Bowman cards just to get my hands on something "different". I...Show More Summary
All Clear
I've finally waded my way through all of the piles of cards affected by The Big Spill. These cards are from the last two trades whose contents all literally fell all over each other like some out of control cardboard game of Twister....Show More Summary
Airbrushed Fridays: 2010 Topps #116
Fantasy baseball can be a bit perplexing. Sometimes I will look at one of my teams and not understand why I don't have a better record. Other times, I will realize that all along I've thought that I had pretty decent pitching only to realize that Ryan Vogelsong has turned back into a pumpkin and Dan Haren hasn't been good in years.

Sheer Fleer
I'm still working on the 1985 Fleer set that I was so fond of as a child, so I decided to pick up a couple of packs from eBay on a whim. I'm still missing the biggest rookie (Clemens) along with a handful of other stars and commons at this point. Show More Summary
Community Hoops
We're in the thick of the NBA playoffs right now, which means we're going to take a slight detour today and show off a little bit of basketball cards. This will probably be the only basketball post I do between now and June's draft,Show More Summary
Up For Grabs: Nolan Ryan Mother's Cookies
Now that I've got my trades mostly under control, I figured it was time to fire up the ol' "Up For Grabs" machine once again. I've still got some players left in my old binders to purge, plus a heaping helping of Cardinals dupes and something I'll just call Yankeepalooza. Show More Summary
The Diamond King Delivers
The Diamond King has been firing off PWEs to all parts of the country lately, and probably even some other countries. Back in late March, the King sent over a few surprise random Cardinals that really made my day. Brian Broderick was a late selection in the 2007 draft. Show More Summary
Airbrushed Fridays: 1974 Topps #237
At the risk of sounding like Jerry Seinfeld, what is the DEAL with these umpires today? First, we had Oakland getting robbed by a botched home run call whose replay was botched because the MLB uses dollhouse sized TVs to do their reviews. Show More Summary
Gold Fish, Green Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish
It's always nice to see a happy Cardinals team. I'll never get tired of these celebratory photos, even though certain doom was lurking around the corner in the form of a frustrating and heartbreaking NLCS. I'm still working my way through the team set from 2013 Topps Series 1, and received some more cards several weeks back from ARPSmith. Show More Summary
All the Minis
Jeff from 2x3 Heroes has a little "Take My Minis" section of his blog, devoted to a bunch of extra Allen & Ginter minis that he acquired. Well, leave it to someone with a blog called 2x3 Heroes to discard all of these 1 15/32 x 2 11/16 (seriously, that's a size) cards. Show More Summary
Up For Grabs: 2012 and 2013 Topps Heritage
I picked up a blaster of 2013 Topps Heritage over the weekend and, much to my dismay, two of the three short prints that I pulled were ones I already owned. Since I still have quite a ways to go to complete this set, I'm very frustrated by these doubles. Show More Summary
Clearly Canadian
You might be wondering why I bothered scanning a 1990 Fleer card for this blog, even when it's my favorite player of my collecting youth. One of the things about the internet, besides its overwhelming adulation of all things Veronica...Show More Summary
Crackers and Kings
My Group Break participation has slowed of late. I don't think that has much to do me, but it seems like several of the usual hosts have stopped doing what they were doing. I really admire the effort and organizational skill that it takes to pull off one of those things. Show More Summary
Airbrushed Fridays: 1985 Topps #573
Does the card in this link look airbrushed to you? I went so far as to scan it for today's post before I took a second and third look before going in another direction.Who is this week's victim, and why do we care? Jay Tibbs was a journeyman right-handed starting pitcher who spent 7 years in the big leagues. Show More Summary
Smoke and Mirrors
I'm not sure what it says about a team when their lesser talent is carrying them through the first month-plus of the season while other, more talented players struggle with consistency. Edward Mujica did not seem likely to be one ofShow More Summary
Tradus Strigiformes
Night Owl is up next on the Big Spill Trade Wheel du Jour. Once again, Big Spill rules apply: I'm not entirely sure that Night Owl sent me every card in this post, but I am pretty confident about certain ones. Two packages I received from him actually hit the deck, so at least this way I'm pushed into posting about both at once. Show More Summary
The Big Spill 2: Heritage Boogaloo
Continuing on with Big Spill Week, I had a couple of large piles of 2013 Topps Heritage cards that were all discombobulated. I know that Card Anathema and My Cardboard Mistress were responsible for sending me the cards, and I selected nine of them to show you tonight. Show More Summary
