• * Now hear this: Frank Ceresi

  
  Ron Kaplan's Baseball Bookshelf — Authority: 130
  Of all the sub-genres of baseball books, my favorite is are the coffee table editions. Usually published as “gift books,” they are among the most well-produced, handsome, and eclectic titles available each year. This year’s “leader” has to be Baseball Americana: Treasures from the Library of Congress ...

• Is It Permitted To Admire Goyim?

  
  Your Moral Leader — Authority: 146
  Many of the Orthodox kids I know collect cards of the great rabbis rather than baseball cards. Professor Marc B. Shapiro blogs : Although he might not be fired, any Modern Orthodox rabbi who stated as follows would also be in hot water, as the congregation would be outraged: “One is not allowed to admire gentiles ...

• Dinged Cards Challange: 3 On-Card Autos

  
  Capewood's Collections — Authority: 119
  As I prepared for this post, I was surprised to find that I have 88 autographed cards. Perhaps not a lot compared to others. Most are cards I bought on on eBay. If youre not too picky about who the player is you can get lots of cheap autographed cards on eBay. Many of these are sticker autos, so they dont count for ...

• Searching For Dead Prospects

  
  Wax Heaven — Authority: 479
  When I left the Hobby in 1997 it was out of sheer frustration. I had found a young player to get behind and root for and wanted every card of his I could get my hands on. While I did manage to pick up a few low-end Jose Cruz Jr. baseball cards, his most-wanted issues came from 1997 Bowman Chrome and were way beyond ...

• Favorite On-Card Autographs

  
  Paul's Random Stuff — Authority: 476
  Dinged Corners is predicting that sticker autographs will finally die out in 2012. I confess, I don’t quite understand the hatred for sticker autographs. They’re just a challenge for the card designers. Sometimes they can be incorporated in really nice designs, like last year’s Stadium Club Beam Team inserts ...

• Metal Coulda Been A Contender

  
  Wax Heaven — Authority: 479
  Parallels shouldn’t be complicated. Essentially, it’s a double with a little added bonus. Some companies add a different color border, other change the color of the foil. The most famous parallel, the Refractor, adds a colored glow to their cards. Sounds simple, doesn’t it? There are very few parallels that ...

• Rickey Henderson Not A “Steal”

  
  Wax Heaven — Authority: 479
  The world may never again see a character like Rickey Henderson. As one of the most collected players of all-time, thanks to an entry into the Hall of Fame, his cards have spiked even more than usual. While Rickey has plenty of rare cards, certified autographs, and game-used relics, his 1980 Topps rookie card still ...

• Random Greg Maddux Cards

  
  Capewood's Collections — Authority: 119
  Last week I stopped into the card shop near where I work for a few quick hits. I like browsing through the loose singles. Ill look through the cards of a player I like hoping to see something I think I dont have. And if its a card I dont have any of, even better. So last week I was looking at the Greg Maddux cards ...

• 2009 Upper Deck Goodwin Champions Daniel Murphy autograph

  
  Paul's Random Stuff — Authority: 476
  I’m having a hard time thinking of a player who has polarized the opinions of Mets fans as much as Daniel Murphy. On the one side are people who like him because he’s a hard-working, young home-grown player. On the other side are people who look at his 2009 stats and conclude that he can’t start at first base ...

• Remembering Shane Spencer

  
  Paul's Random Stuff — Authority: 476
  When the Mets were building their 2004 team, they could have signed Vladimir Guererro to play right field. Instead, GM Jim Duquette decided that a platoon of former Yankees Karim Garcia and Shane Spencer would be adequate to fill the position. Before spring training was over, the move was already starting to ...

• Who Gives A Damn About Logos?

  
  Wax Heaven — Authority: 479
  Lately, I have become somewhat obsessed with autographed buybacks. I don’t know when they were introduced into The Hobby but it was a genius idea and a great way to tug at the nostalgia heartstrings. Take a worthless card from a forgotten player, have him sign a small number of them, include them into packs of new ...

• Ike Davis

  
  Paul's Random Stuff — Authority: 476
  I had my first chance to see Mets first baseman of the future Ike Davis tonight on MLB Network’s telecast of the Arizona Fall League’s Rising Stars game. Although Davis didn’t start, he got two at bats off the bench. In the fifth inning, Davis pinch hit for DH Daryl Jones with a runner on first and two outs. He ...

  Wax Heaven — Authority: 479
  During a time when many collectors have had to quit buying new products or simply sold off their collection, Topps’ Triple Threads and Upper Deck’s Sweet Spot have provided a surprising return on investment during this recession. It all began with the heavily publicized game-used bat barrel cards Upper Deck ...
