DIME BOX JUNK - $4.00

MIND... A BLANK.... CAN'T TYPE.... FINGERS. DON'T WORK.......... FORGOT..... HOW CAN DO BLOG. FUCK IT JUST TYPE SOME BULLSHIT. PEOPLE ONLY CARE ABOUT THE IMAGES THIS MAY AS WELL BE A PR0N SITE

2011 TOPPS KRIS MEDLEN


ONE OF MY FAVORITE CARDS EVER. MAYBE EVEN IN THE TOP 10. THAT LEG KICK AND THE BALL FLOATING RIGHT THERE IS JUST GLORIOUS. I HAVE SEVERAL DIFFERENT PARALLELS OF THIS CARD BUT NOTHING APPROACHING A RAINBOW YET. WOULD PROBABLY BE PRETTY EASY TO GET A LEGIT RAINBOW OF THIS CARD IF I WEREN'T IN FULL APOCALYPTIC SKINFLINT DON'T SPEND MONEY THE SKY IS FALLING MODE. MAN, I WISH KRIS'S ARM HADN'T FALLEN OFF SO SOON



2017 TOPPS MUSEUM COLLECTION ICHIRO


THIS IS WHY HIGH-END PRODUCT IS COMPLETE BULLSHIT. ICHIRO FRICKIN SUZUKI BASE CARD IN A GODDAMN DIME BOX. OPENING DAY ICHIROS WITH THREE DINGED CORNERS SHOULD NOT EVEN BE IN DIME BOXES. IT'S AN INSULT IS WHAT IT IS. A BOX OF THIS SHIT COSTS $269.95 FOR TWENTY FUCKING CARDS AND THAT'S ON SALE. THAT'S $13.50 PER GODFORSAKEN CARD. YET SOMEHOW A BASE CARD OF AN INNER CIRCLE GOD-TIER SLAM DUNK HALL OF FAMER IS IN. THE. DIME. BOX. HOWEVER, UNLIKE OUR ACTUAL BULLSHIT ECONOMY, THE HOBBY'S RIDICULOUS BULLSHIT ECONOMY ACTUALLY TRICKLES DOWN TO US BOTTOM FEEDING SCUMSUCKERS EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE AND I'LL TAKE BEAUTIFUL ICHIRO HIGH END CARDS CHEAP ALL THE LIVE LONG DAY


2017 TOPPS ARCHIVES DJ LeMAHIEU PARALLEL THINGY 17/75


PRETTY SURE I BOUGHT THIS BEFORE DJ SIGNED WITH THE YANKEES AND NOW HE'S HITTING LIKE .390 WITH UMPTEEN DINGERS AND IT DOESN'T EVEN MATTER BECAUSE ARCHIVES HOSPITAL WAITING ROOM BLUE PARALELELELEL. I MEAN, EVEN WITH THE CARD BEING NUMBERED TO 75 NO ONE CARES. I WONDER IF THE SELLER EVEN KNEW THE CARD WAS NUMBERED TO BE HONEST. CAN YOU FIND THE NUMBER? COMMENT IF YOU CAN FIND IT WITHIN 5 MINUTES WITH THE WRONG ANSER TO THROW OTHER READERS OFF THE SCENT. ONLY REASON I PICKED THIS UP IS BECAUSE I IRRATIONALLY LOVE THE 1960 DESIGN. VERY COLOR. MUCH HORIZON


2018 TOPPS HERITAGE ROBINSON CANO DECAL INSERT


AREN'T THESE THINGS SUPPOSED TO BE TOUGH TO PULL? IT'S A RIDICULOUS LITTLE INSERT, IT EVEN HAS IT'S OWN TINY LITTLE TEAM BAG SLEEVE PROTECTOR. DID THEY COME OUT OF PACKS LIKE THAT OR DID THIS GUY PUT IT INTO THE SLEEVE BEFORE DROPPING IT IN A DIME BOX? WHERE THE HELL DO YOU BUY TEENSY TINY TEAM BAGS ANYWAY? THIS IS THE FIRST AND ONLY ONE OF THESE DECALS I'VE SEEN IN MY TRAVELS. I'D DO ANOTHER RANT ABOUT ADDED VALUE WHY THIS IS BE DIME GRAH BUT I DID THAT ALREADY AND TO BE FAIR I FOUND THIS WHEN I ATTACKED A BOX LIKE AN HOUR BEFORE THE SHOW CLOSED AND I THINK THE GUY SAID THEY WERE A DIME A POP JUST TO GET ME TO SPEND MONEY AND LEAVE. WORKS FOR ME, I LOVE THESE RETROIZED HERITAGE INSERTS


1988 MOTHER'S COOKIES ROBBY THOMPSON AUTOGRAPH OF DUBIOUS PROVENANCE


SOMETIMES YOU FIND AUTOGRAPHS IN DIME BOXES. IT IS LEGIT? WHO CARES? IT'S COOL ENOUGH AS A MOTHER'S COOKIES CARD, THE SCRIBBLES ARE A BONUS


AAAAY BACK IN THE SADDLE. LET'S DO THIS AGAIN SOON

I need every Braves card out there, but I have never actually attempted to complete a rainbow of any of them. Shame on me. I should try to get at least 1.

Mother's Cookies and Robby Thompson bring back some memories. That's an awesome find for 10¢. Don't think Robby has many certified pack pulled autographs out there.

I see the Museum Collection base cards sitting in dime boxes all the time, nobody seems to want them unless it's a rookie of somebody who's still "hot". Never realized (or cared) how much the boxes were before, probably not the best use of hobby funds!

The Heritage decals came exactly like that out of the pack. I pulled a Hoskins that year. I thought they were semi-rare, but I guess not.

That's a great Coors Field card of Kris Medlen! Now on the hunt for a copy for my frankenset.

thanks for putting up that Medlen card

any card that gives me flashbacks to 1975 like that one does goes in a special binder page
