This month’s pull of the month was from store fixture Dan, and came out of a jumbo box of 2012 Bowman he purchased from the store yesterday. One of the three autographs per box was a Yu Darvish autographed Bowman Chrome Blue Refractor, numbered 34/250. The Japanese Pacific League star who put on quite a [...]
Video of my box break of 2011 Panini Playoff Contenders Baseball. This is one of Panini’s first baseball product releases since securing an MLBPA license. The company still only has one of the two licenses historically required to make baseball cards, the other being a license with Major League Baseball that allows them to use [...]
In honor of tomorrow’s big game, one of the favorite cards at the store, a 1989 Topps Joe Morris, signed and personalized to the store by the all time great NY Giants running back. Following his college career at Syracuse University, home of many a great running back including Jim Brown, Floyd Little, Ernie Davis, [...]

The over-riding theme in 2012 Topps Baseball is “GOLD” with The Golden Giveaway, Golden Moments inserts, real Gold cards and more!

This month’s great pull comes from a box of 2011 Panini Gold Standard. Regular customer Sean pulled a 304/325 autographed + game used jersey card of Cam Newton, one of his rookie cards. Congratulations Shawn. Thanks for letting us know and sending us a picture of the card. Did you get a great pull from [...]
The Evansville Ballet did a production of the holiday favorite “The Nutcracker”. Amidst the fighting mice and Sugar Plum Fairy emerged a very special guest as Mother Ginger. Yup, that’s the 1985 AL MVP himself, Don Mattingly. Source: Mug Shots by Crystal
It’s turkey month, and this month’s pull has William from Ramsey giving thanks. If you’ve been by the store lately, you noticed we’ve cracked some old wax boxes to sell packs, one of them being a wax box of 1982 Topps. Well, someone had to pull it, and William did, a genuine Bob Bonner rookie [...]
Walking through Manhattan today, this was staring back at me from behind a mailbox: Apparently Andy is the new pitchman for Weatherproof. Unfortunately we more needed him staring down the Detroit Tigers this Fall, instead of pedestrians. He still looks the part of the pitcher who won a season’s worth (19) of postseason games.
All joking aside, writers have postulated that steriods (think the Giambi brothers and Miguel Tejada) certainly did have an affect on the Oakland Athletic’s success in reaching the playoffs in the early 2000′s.

I’m trying to wrap my head around how Topps issues a relic card of someone who does not exist. Of course in legend old steel driver John raced a steam drill at Big Bend Tunnel. Before the steam drill could beat him down, he hammered his fool self to death. Thus man makes a last [...]

We had just gotten another box of 2010 Bowman Platinum into the store that we opened to sell as packs. When Billy came by the store he bought one pack, and pulled a Stephen Strasburg auto relic: We all turned around when he let out a scream after realizing what he pulled. Congratulations! And please [...]
Recent video of the store, taken by a customer and posted to Youtube:

Still, that pitch sailed over the plate. I’m impressed. This was a first pitch thrown by a performer in the Cirque du Solei show during Monday’s game between the Padres and Royals. If this guy doesn’t have a Topps card next year, I’ll be disappointed.
