<br />
It's been a while. I miss blogging.<br />
<br />
Hopefully in the next few months, I'll get to cleaning out some of the cards I have lying around. If anyone's interested, let me know.<br />
<br />
Saw a little bit of this year's Allen & Ginter... beautiful cards. Makes me want to pick up a blaster.<br />
<br />

I am currently enjoying my Winter Break by doing absolutely nothing of value... quite refreshing I assure you. I successfully finished my first semester of college and am looking forward to finish the year.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I just wanted to comment on an eBay item that I've been watching for quite some time. Someone had collected the entire <a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/150427768831?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649">2009 SP Authentic By the Letter Derek Jeter Auto Patch</a> set (a whopping ten of them) and had the "1/1" item listed for $10,000. The item was last updated in October 2010 and has been sitting idle for some time, although I can't say I'm too surprised by this. We all know Jeter's fanbase, but dropping ten grand on ten cards? There's bills to be paid.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The item finally sold a few weeks ago for a cool $7,500. Not bad for the seller, although I feel that's still about 2k higher than I would have went if I had the money. Eh, as long as the buyer and seller are happy.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Hope everyone enjoyed their holidays!</div>longlivethewhohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15630692497796179967noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1748800735722340439.post-91139050255912126292011-10-03T13:35:00.001-04:002011-10-03T13:37:16.635-04:00Checking In<div style="text-align: justify;">Hello, friends. While I sit here bored out of my mind in U.S. Politics, I decided to check up on the baseball card world, and wow... I'm lost.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">To start off with, what products have come out since August? I noticed Topps Chrome and Triple Threads are hot. How is Chrome this year compared to last year's disastrous effort? Triple Threads?</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Hope everyone is doing well. Just got caught up on the latest from everybody, and all the blogs look great! Keep it up people.</div>longlivethewhohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15630692497796179967noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1748800735722340439.post-40610757910898861632011-08-08T20:24:00.002-04:002011-08-08T20:24:54.560-04:00Crossroads, Hiatus<div style="text-align: justify;"><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <o:OfficeDocumentSettings> <o:AllowPNG/> </o:OfficeDocumentSettings> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:WordDocument> <w:View>Normal</w:View> <w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:TrackMoves/> <w:TrackFormatting/> <w:PunctuationKerning/> <w:ValidateAgainstSchemas/> <w:SaveIfXMLInvalid>false</w:SaveIfXMLInvalid> <w:IgnoreMixedContent>false</w:IgnoreMixedContent> <w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText>false</w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText> <w:DoNotPromoteQF/> <w:LidThemeOther>EN-US</w:LidThemeOther> <w:LidThemeAsian>X-NONE</w:LidThemeAsian> <w:LidThemeComplexScript>X-NONE</w:LidThemeComplexScript> <w:Compatibility> <w:BreakWrappedTables/> <w:SnapToGridInCell/> <w:WrapTextWithPunct/> <w:UseAsianBreakRules/> <w:DontGrowAutofit/> <w:SplitPgBreakAndParaMark/> <w:EnableOpenTypeKerning/> <w:DontFlipMirrorIndents/> <w:OverrideTableStyleHps/> </w:Compatibility> <m:mathPr> <m:mathFont m:val="Cambria Math"/> <m:brkBin m:val="before"/> <m:brkBinSub m:val="--"/> <m:smallFrac m:val="off"/> <m:dispDef/> <m:lMargin m:val="0"/> <m:rMargin m:val="0"/> <m:defJc m:val="centerGroup"/> <m:wrapIndent m:val="1440"/> <m:intLim m:val="subSup"/> <m:naryLim m:val="undOvr"/> </m:mathPr></w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:LatentStyles DefLockedState="false" DefUnhideWhenUsed="true"

Now, it would make sense for this signature to be in Taiwanese, and it probably is, but there’s a slight possibility this might be in another Asian language. I can read some Chinese (yes, I’m serious), but I don’t recognize these characters.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><br />

Now it’s considered one of the best products of the year. Collector’s these days… sheesh.

Now that people want it, Topps will run the presses like it was producing Allen & Ginter. You’ll see either a) the popularity wane leaving a ton of product available for cheap or b) Gypsy Queen overcoming Ginter as the most sought out painted product Topps releases, putting the nail in the coffin for Ginter.

An 2011 All-Star (along with half of the league), he posted some good numbers in the first half; 3.09 ERA, a 130+ ERA, 101 Ks, and a 1.2 WHIP. They all sound like a recipe for a winning record!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><br />

Me personally, I can take them or leave them. Some sets over the past few years have really wowed me (Goodwin Champions, Heritage) and have left a sour taste in my mouth (National Chicle, <a href="http://forcardssake.blogspot.com/2010/07/confession.html">Ginter</a>). Due to their big success, painted sets are going to be a mainstay in the hobby for a very long time, and that may cause some overpopulation issues. I mean, there are already a ton of sets to choose from, imagine if Topps and Upper Deck release painted set after painted set (yes UD can do this) then it could grow old. Who knows, we’ll see, but I can tell you 2011 Goodwin Champions is awful compared to 2009’s offering.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><br />

Let’s continue on with part two of this exciting segment.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><br />

Stunning card design, beautiful on-card autos, and the artwork is phenomenal. And the funny thing is… I’ve never purchased a box. They have been out of my price range, but maybe if I’m smart enough to save up some money I can go and purchase a box or two.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><br />

Wantlists, new fonts… say what gives? Well, blogging was becoming a real pain in the ass. My old Internet Explorer was slow as molasses and Blogger was being its usual annoying self. I have since downloaded Firefox and installed 2010 Word on my computer, expanding my blogging features and styles.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Andalus; font-size: 12pt;">Work has been hectic this week, as you could imagine. I had the pleasure of watching Phil Hughes make his second rehab start with the Trenton Thunder Wednesday. He was absolutely dominate; giving up five baserunners in 6.1 innings with one earned run and eight strikeouts. He was topping out at 94 MPH, a very good sign for a pitcher who could barely hit 90 at the beginning of the year. And as many Yankees fans probably have heard, Derek Jeter will be in town tonight and tomorrow for his rehab starts. Tickets have been sold out since Thursday morning for both of these games, and it’s going to be very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very crazy.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><br />

Consider this; both have had a considerable lower body injury (strained quad and pulled hamstring) that has landed them time on the DL, both have had notable slumps during the season (one batted .107 for the second half of May and one didn’t bat .200 until the team’s 11<sup>th</sup> series of the season), and both are x-factors in determining if their respected teams make the playoffs.

My time in high school was full of ups and downs, but I can safely say I had the time of my life and I’m going to miss it so much. In a few short months, I’ll be leaving for Ithaca College to work on the next chapter of my life. Now that I have a lot of free time (no summer work or football), I’ll try to squeeze as many posts as I can. Beginning with this.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Long-time readers should note that I’ve had the same wantlist up for the past year and a half for one set: 2004 Fleer Tradition. I usually don’t receive cards from this set in trades so I rarely mark off numbers. When Tom from <a href="http://angelsinorder.blogspot.com/">The Angels,In Order</a> contacted me saying he had a large stack of FT, I immediately told him to send ‘em over. Here are some of the highlights.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />

One of these is the Bowman’s Best insert. Widely popular with collectors, this subset gives a nod to the 1994 set of the same name, with a colorful design and a checklist featuring the best stars and rookies the game has to offer. When I saw a whole stack of these at a card show, I fished around long enough to complete the Yankees team set (minus prospects) and grab a couple of youngins on the For Card’s Sake radar.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
