Hope You’re Enjoying Exquisite

While Exquisite football once again is churning out the most high-end of cards of the 2009 football season, Upper Deck’s run in the football card arena has come to an end, at least for now.
Apparently Upper Deck has multiple Twitter accounts (who knew?), and on one of them, Upper Deck made the announcement, “UD was [...]

It’s Much Safer Here in the Stands

I have what you might refer to as collecting ADD.  I lack focus.  Many collectors have projects, some manage to work on those projects for years, even decades, and even with the knowledge that they likely will never complete said projects.  Not me.
I can’t even make it a few months before I tire of a [...]

Week(s) in Review: 3/15 thru 3/28

Once again, I’m a big slacker and can’t get these things done in a timely fashion, and once again I’m promising to make a more conscious effort going forward.  Because this one covers two weeks, I was a bit selective in what made it and what did not.  There were some amazing cards that aren’t [...]

Week in Review - 3/8 through 3/14

But first and foremost has to be this amazing Joe Flacco National Treasures Patch/Auto that Cano Collector pulled.  This great looking card not only has an on-card auto, but features the first [...]

Week in Review: 3/1 thru 3/7

Once again, I’m late, sue me.  I had lots going on earlier in the week, but once again I’ll fall back on the cliche of better late than never.
Once again the boards were a showcase of some of the finest football cards that you’ll find on the market, and yet it’s a baseball card that [...]
