Thought you might be interested in that headline. Upper Deck, although it may have lost it’s contract with MLB, still retains it’s contract with the MLBPA. And they will capitalize on that existing contract when they release baseball cards next year, and promote them...

1991 was right around the start of a lull in baseball card collecting, at least for me. Ramon Martinez was just heating up right around 1991 though.
At the age of 21, Ramon Martinez, Pedro Martinez’ brother, started 15 games, striking out 89 batters in 98.2 innings with...

Do you remember the 1989 Fleer Mark Langston card?
1989 Fleer was one of my favorite sets. I remember buying a box of this stuff for about $15 when I was younger, trying to find a particular baseball card that became infamous that we will not mention further here.

Just got the new Beckett Sports Card Monthly in the mail, and as a New York area resident, I gotta say it’s a sweet cover. As a Mets fan, I wish David Wright was on the cover, instead of Jeter, but it’s a cool shot of Jeter, and there’s no denying that both he...

It looks like Sega and Upper Deck will be getting together on a new video game (the kind you used to play in the early ’80s in a pizza shop, not the kind you played in the ’90s in front of your t.v.), that will let game players win baseball cards, right there at the [....

Teddy Ballgame, aka Ted Williams, was the easy pick here for the best baseball card of a left fielder. Little factoid though: Did you know that Carl Yaztremski (also a left fielder for the Red Sox) had a higher Hall of Fame vote-in percentage than Ted Williams? Yaz was great, but come...

As soon as I thought about writing this post, a few cards came to mind. A 1933 Goudey Lou Gehrig was one of them, as was another Yankee (I’m not a Yankee fan, really), Don Mattingly’s 1984 Fleer and 1984 Topps rookie cards. Soon after these nostalgic cards popped into my...
