Featured autograph - Ian Clarkin
I picked up a 2012 Panini USA team set for $15 shipping at the beginning of the year - I wanted to pick up a base set [no inserts] of the boxed set so I'd have another set of cards of various players likely to enter professional baseball in the next three or four years. Show More Summary

1986 Fleer Cello
I recently bought some Yount cards on eBay from a huge Yount collector who's slowly paring down his collection. As a little add-on, I picked up this cello pack that the Yount guy was selling with Robin featured on the front. To me, this doesn't represent something different, but I understand the completist mentality. Show More Summary

30 Year Old Stickers and More!
Things seem to have slowed a bit on the group break front, but that's okay with me. I admire how much effort that the break hosts must undertake to put on something that in spirit is more of a labor of love than something designed to be profitable. Show More Summary

Up For Grabs Cardinalpalooza: Matt Holliday
The next batch of Cardinals cards that I'm pushing out the door are of a guy in both my and Erin's personal collections. This means that at any given time there could be three copies of a Matt Holliday card in this household (if it's a set I collect) which is kind of ridiculous. Show More Summary

Signature Sundays - Dennis "Oil Can" Boyd
I purchased exactly one rack pack of 2013 Topps Archives, and I won't be buying any more. I don't know if it's the flimsy card stock, or the fact that I'm getting a bit burnt out on Topps reusing their vintage designs over and over, but I'm just not feeling it. Show More Summary
What Ben's Thinking About
It's no secret: my interest in collecting sports cards waxes and wanes like the cycles of the moon. But there are certain things about the hobby that pique my interest. Here they are for the week of June 15, 2013.

Airbrushed Fridays: 1974 Topps #198
Slow your roll, Topps! Count me among the few that is not disappointed about the news that this year's Allen & Ginter set is going to be delayed until sometime in August. I feel like pretty much everything Topps has done this year has been either rushed or unnecessary, and sometimes even both. Show More Summary
