That's nuts

Who?

Lost Thought 00: Who?

You know, Chip Schumaker.

What an absolutely terrible article. Also, don't believe it unless somebody who speaks english reports it.

Be sure to look for special "game-worn fur" inserts, available in one in every 12,000 packs! Individually stamped and numbered!

Man, Topps. Takes me back. My first year.

Collectors will kill each other to get one only to find out in 10 years that it's worth 3 bucks.

In other news, they still make baseball cards.

My favorite baseball card of all time:

Really? You're surprised they still make baseball cards? You know they still print comics too.

Surely the bubblegum factories must have ceased production by now. I heard they went out of business about the same time as the Edsel.

Christmas morning 1986, a pack of Donruss was in my stocking. I opened it to find a rated rookie Jose Canseco. I looked it up, and it was worth over $80. I should have sold/traded it the next day.

A much better article on this.

According to the internet, it was as high as $180. You can get a PSA 9 on eBay now for $40.

Who knew Bret Saberhagen had a Fark handle?

Anyone want my Barry Bonds rookies? Glad I went out of my way in the late 80's to collect those ...

That '87 set was so good. I think at one point I was only one or two cards away from completing the whole set just from buying packs.

Yeah, but they made enough gum to go well into the year 2148, you've simply identified why there hasn't been a fresh piece of gum since 1963.

If you think that's weird, you should see the squirrels roommate:


/obscure as hell

they need to make a special insert of that card that's decorated with foil and holograms and a piece of the actual squirrel.

I have a Greg Maddux Topps rookie that's waiting for him to make it into the HoF, then up on eBay it will go.

I haven't looked at my collection in a while, but I know I've got a David Justice rookie card, along with a few other pretty good players' rookie cards.

My favorite troll card of all time:


Always made me think I got a Mattingly when I opened a pack and first saw it. Damn lefty Yankee infielders with mustaches. I must have had like 12 of these. Damn you Mike Pagliarulo.

For starters, the headline doesn't call Schumaker "Chip." Second, I went to high school with that writer.

The first year I collected cards I had just a handful of them. That winter I saw on the news that Roberto Clemente died in a plane crash. My thought - Hey, I have that card. What a lucky break!

'86 Topps set = greatest of all time

psst... the world didnt grow up because you did.

I used to collect baseball cards. Wish I sold some of them back in the day before the value really dropped on them. It used to be fun but it seemed the serious collectors changed that. Plus the speciality card gimmicks just made it a pain, never wound up with any of those. Nobody looked at the cards anymore, you opened it up and put it in a protective case.

Ahhh. Razor Shines. Takes me back to my boyhood nights in Indy, where he was a hitting god. He was the player that made me love baseball. Sweet swing. An Expo card would be even sweeter than my Indians card of him.
