Is Harper Wise Beyond His Years Or Just A Stupid Kid?
I just finished reading this USA Today piece on Bryce Harper and I’m left somewhat confounded. Harper did blow a kiss to the opposing pitcher after smoking one out of the park, but it’s his reaction that boggles me. Everybody is going to write what they want to write; people are going to think what [...]

The first Bryce Harper autograph closed tonight in a BIN: $1150. Yup, $1150, that’s almost $400 more than cases opened at. Someone at FCB apparently had their prayers answered and pulled a Purple Bowman Base Harper and a Base Harper autograph and finally a base autograph that was graded SGC 98 within half a damn [...]

Well, it’s been a long night, complete with Criminal Minds re-runs. Agent Hotchner drove an ambulance into the hospital, but the ambulance contained a BOMB! Then, in the next episode we watched Hotchner deal with the lasting effects of a concussion. This made me think of the recent(ish) news that Peyton Manning purposely fails his [...]

Tonight, was just like any other night for Bryce Harper. Except, for the first time in 18 games, he didn’t get a single hit. Harper still reached base and scored a run on Sunday, but failed to extend his streak to 19 games. Harper had pushed his hitting streak to 18 games last night with [...]

I wrote about Michael Pineda and his eTopps card a few weeks back. In his three starts since the post, I’ve been proven correct as he’s posted 2, 4, and 3 ER in those starts. He’s still one hell of a pitcher, but the Felix Hernandez comparisons can wait a couple more years. Well, it’s [...]

It’s now 10AM on Sunday morning and after posting a bunch of Harper stuff last night, I figured that I might as well make the entire week, BRYCE HARPER WEEK! 2011 Bowman Hobby/Jumbo should hit the shelves on Tuesday and that’s when the hooplah will really get going. It’s already blowing up as the Bryce [...]

Bowman’s Best Refractors: Helluva Set, Helluva Lot Of Potential
2011 Leave a Comment
It’s generally pretty hard to tell what cards will stand the test of time. Donruss Crusades looked pretty awesome, but the fact that they’ve stayed at such ridiculous prices really surprises me. Most of the time, Vintage-based products do pretty well, but the market still isn’t as consistent as I’d like. Topps Heritage Black Refractors [...]
