2013 Topps Opening Day

Opening this pack, I realized that you can give any player a nickname with little to no thought. Just take the start of their first name, add the beginning of their last name, throw a hyphen in there, and PRESTO! Instant nickname! Let's see how this works.Let's tear in.Top to Bottom:198 Ryan Howard (Ry-Ho. Show More Summary

Airbrushed Fridays: 2013 Topps Opening Day #106

The first place Cardinals head into a weekend home series tonight with the second place Pirates, who they lead by a half game. How do you know it's still April baseball? Just take a look at the end of that last sentence. The NL Central remains a wide open race as it probably will continue to be for several months. Show More Summary

Airbrushed Fridays: 2013 Topps Opening Day #201

I was at a Dinosaur Jr show last night, so I missed the ugliness between the Padres and the Dodgers, save for a few clips on the MLB Network. I don't usually tend to side with the Dodgers in most matters, but am I right in thinking that...Show More Summary

Happy Fake Opening Day

Even if it is a crummy interleague game I guess it's still real baseball. I'd normally also include an Astros card, but Topps doesn't put Astros cards in their products anymore.

Airbrushed Fridays: 2013 Topps Opening Day #36

We are three days away from Opening Day! This is not a drill. On Sunday evening, the Texas Rangers battle the remnants of the Houston Astros, American League style. Those festivities (?) then give way to a nearly full slate of MLB action on Monday, like Abner Doubleday (or whatever British dude actually invented the game) intended. Show More Summary

Airbrushed Fridays: 2007 Topps Opening Day #37

As mentioned earlier this week, I am really trying to work on getting closer to completion on my 2012 Topps Heritage and Allen & Ginter sets. If anyone out there has anything they can help with, please let me know. I have tons of cards to get rid of that you may be interested in. Show More Summary

New York Yankees: Tracking Progress of Top 5 Active Draft Picks from Last Year

I remember it like it was yesterday. It was the first day I opened my first pack of baseball cards. The pack was 1989 Topps. The first card I pulled was a Randy Johnson baseball card from when he was with the Seattle Mariners. I thought,...Show More Summary

Airbrushed Fridays: 2012 Topps Opening Day #76

I'm not quite settled in to this baseball season. Something seems a bit off about it. I wonder if it could have anything to do with the Dodgers' 6-1 record so far this season. That seems mighty fishy if you ask me.Gio Gonzalez is a left-handed starting pitcher who was originally a White Sox draftee. Show More Summary

Airbrushed Fridays: 2012 Topps Opening Day #150

We're down to the Final Four in that college basketball tournament thing, with the semifinal games scheduled for tomorrow. Stats on the Back is sitting in the drivers seat right now, with the venerable Colonel Panic sitting in 2nd place with the most potential points overall. Show More Summary

Airbrushed Fridays: 2012 Topps Opening Day #39

Well, it's only Day 2 of the Madness (or Radness, as I prefer) and I've already lost an Elite Eight team. I guess that's par for the course. I imagine a lot of people missed on Missouri. I was also successful in picking VCU and Colorado upsets, but there are a few glaring holes in my bracket already. Show More Summary

Topps Rhymes With "Photoshops"

Airbrushed Fridays: 2010 Topps Opening Day #109

For the sake of this blog, and also because I actually happen to like this cheap set for some reason, I was happy to learn that there will indeed be a 2012 Topps Opening Day set. Let's hope those packs are still 99 cents a pop. A tip of the ol' airbrushed cap to hiflew for the lowdown on these developments. Show More Summary

Airbrushed Fridays: 2011 Topps Opening Day #104

Every night is friday night without you! Victor Martinez is one of the premier offensive catchers in the league, but he's not known as much of a defensive presence. For this reason, as well as competition at the position, he's been relegated to a lot of 1B and DH duties. Show More Summary

Airbrushed Fridays: 2011 Topps Opening Day #59

There's only 22 days until pitchers and catchers report. 22 days! That's only three weeks until we can start talking about baseball for real instead of just checking mlbtraderumors.com periodically to find out if anyone is going to hand Edwin Jackson a big contract. Show More Summary

Pack Rip - 2011 Topps Opening Day

This one's gonna be short and sweet. Why did I bother with this? Three reasons I guess. First and foremost, it's something new to me and I was bored. In fact, come to think of it I'm pretty sure this is the first pack of Opening Day I've ever purchased from any year. Show More Summary

Repack Resurrection: 2007 Topps Opening Day
