Trading Cards in the News

Couple things real quick...

The New York Times wrote a little diddy about Pat Neshek and his love for collecting cards.  You can read the story here.

Also, ESPN Magazine, I believe the May edition has a short article on a photo shoot for Topps with a nice page with the back stories of cards that you may or may not have known about.

Like this one...


This is not Gary Pettis, it is his brother.

Keep it Hot on the Corner, pat.

Gypsy Queen, No Friend of Mine

I have had it.

I am not crazy about Gypsy Queen. It puzzles me, I have no clue why?  I enjoy the Diamond King art cards, I enjoy the Upper Deck art work, all of it.  I am just not digging Gypsy Queen.

Maybe it is because after two rack packs and 4 singles I have only pulled one Tiger, twice!


Not a single base card!

Otherwise I have plenty to trade....
