Written by First thing, I’m watching NBC’s new show Love Bites and it’s not terrible. It’s one of those shows that flashes potential, but more importantly it features Jennifer Love Hewitt. I think every man of a certain age (25-30) still thinks Jennifer Love Hewitt is smokin’ hot even if she is whispering to ghosts and all [...]

READ MORE »The Year of the Football Card
The NFL labor dispute has had football fans talkin’ shop since the Super Bowl, but it’s also in the back of the mind of every eBay bidder every time they place a bid. There’s a very real possibility that 2011 cards could see a monumental decline in value over the course of the year. If the lockout [...]
READ MORE »Prospecting The Draft: Tidbits from Round 3 to 7
This is by no means a comprehensive list, but I did jot down a couple picks that I thought would be solid fits for their new employers.

I just finished previewing Greg Little and now I’m heading across the country from North Carolina to California. Not USC or even UCLA, not CAL or Stanford, but the San Diego State Aztecs possess the wide-out with all sorts of talent that can be had on the cheap. The Aztecs dominated college basketball in 2010-2011 [...]

Topps Supreme has arrived on eBay and the hits are huge. This leads me to one of my favorite hobby-related conspiracy theories: Topps front and back loads all of their premium products. By front-loading the product and shipping to known breakers, the product is guaranteed to end up on eBay. The greater community sees the [...]
READ MORE »Panini’s Getting There With Plates & Patches
Tracy Hackler posted about Panini’s Plates and Patches offering earlier today. It’s clear to me that Panini’s finally getting there. Panini’s always provided terrific value in all of their offerings, but their card design has always been lacking. The patches and autographs are abundant in Panini products, but their designs have excluded the enthusiasts that appreciate a [...]

Topps Magic, 2010 Edition. In the hobby, football retro products just aren’t as revered as their baseball counterparts. The sport of football has really come into its own in the 21st century and the NFL hasn’t done nearly enough to embrace the history of the game.

“I’ll wait until I open a box, but this could spell disaster for Panini.” document.write(” ); That’s how I ended a post a month ago. But, you know what? I can’t bring myself to lay down the money and actually purchase a box and this is the first time that I’ve said that in a [...]
