I have been collecting Topps baseball cards since I was a kid. I created this site to share my favorite cards from my collection and all of the wax packs I bust. I will also be commenting on my thoughts about card collecting and baseball.
This blog is for collectors of Topps baseball cards

Check out - “The Essentials” from The Baseball Card Blog
Way back on August 22, 2007, Ben and Chris (from Stale Gum) put together a list of 59 non-rookie cards (from 1948 to 1989), 97 rookies (1948 to present), 24 sets (1948 to 1989) and 42 from 1990 to the present. If a collector could put have all of this in their collection they would be set. I am very impressed with the thought that went into this list. Please go check it out here.

Check out this article at Sports Collectors Digest:
In an article, “It doesn’t get any better than The Big 3“, Brian Earnest makes some great points about how collectible Mantle, DiMaggio and Williams still are. He mentions that the only living players to get close to that fame is Aaron, Mays and Musial, “Mays, Stan Musial and Aaron are certainly among the closest living contemporaries of the Big Three, but somehow they are still a half a click below them in the eyes of collectors. Location probably had as much to do it as anything. Mays spent most of his career in San Francisco, before it was considered a “major city” in American sports. Ditto for Musial and Aaron, who didn’t get the same notice from the East Coast media centers while playing in St. Louis, Milwaukee and Atlanta.”
