Off-Day Distraction: Baseball Card Vandals

This concept is so simple, yet so BRILLIANT. I wish I had thought of it. The geniuses behind baseball card Vandals (slightly NSFW: wiener doodles like this one on Bill Russell ) take baseball cards and deface them with a Sharpie (no Photoshop used at all) to create hilarious new works of art. (Like when you used to deface your Pee-Chee folders in school. Did I just date myself?) But don't take my word for it. Click! Go! Laugh your ass off. H/T to the podcast "Get Up On This" , where I first heard of BCV. ...

Terrible Baseball Card of the Day: Pete Ladd

Pete Ladd, ’86 Topps There is nothing remotely interesting about Pete Ladd aside from the fact that he looks like Wierd Al. I do question him wearing a gold chain as he doesn’t look cool enough to rock this look. That’s something that Neon Deion Sanders did, not a guy that looks like he could own a van down by the river.

baseball card of the Week: How badass was Bob Watson? Not only could he pull off the Rainbow Stripes and was coming off a season in which he hit .324 with 18 home runs, but he was so flippin’ rad that he had to wear sunglasses for his baseball card. Which, by the way, was taken inside in the Astrodome. A place that saw no sunlight. Watson is now Major League baseball’s Vice President of Rules and On-Field Operations. I can only hope his number one rule for on-field operations is Always Be Cool. (image via Number 5 Type Collection ) ...

Andre Dawson 2012 Leaf Memories Buy Back Baseball Card – Serial Number 18/20

Andre Dawson 2012 Leaf Memories Buy Back baseball card – Serial Number 18/20 This one kind of snuck by and I was able to grab it for a very low price. And it is serial numbered to just 20 copies!!! My guess is that the image did not call out to the everyday collectors as they probably just saw another common early-90′s Leaf baseball card of Andre Dawson. But this very thorough collector saw the Silver stamping in the upper-left and lower-right corners. And they got me to dig in just a little deeper – and I liked what I found. Issued in 2012 as a part of the Leaf Memories set, Leaf re-released some of their prior cards - adding the new Leaf Memories logo and then keeping the production run low. Lucky for me that either not enough people knew about these or that they were not interested in going after them because I nabbed this one ‘On The Cheap’!!!! ...

baseball card Show Purchase #8 – A Few Colored Parallels For My 2013 Miami Marlins Master Team Set I have been trying very hard to work on the colored versions of the 2013 Miami Marlins team set. It has been a bit rough finding the cards that I am still missing as I work to knock off a few of these, but I did end up grabbing four cards for my sets that I was seeking. One card from the Red set, one card from the Blue Sparkle set, and two from the Gold set. I still have a long way to go to get these sets completed but it did feel good to be able to fill four voids with these finds. If anyone has any of these cards that they can spare, please let me know. I am sure that we can work something out!!! Thanks. ...

baseball card Show Purchase #7 – Eddie Murray 2012 Panini Cooperstown Crystal card A card serial numbered to 6/299 for just $0.10??? YESSIR!!! It’s always nice to grab a new card of Eddie Murray for the collection – and this time around was no different. This card comes from the somewhat recently released 2012 Panini Cooperstown set. It is the Crystal version of the base card – and it is very, very shiny!! As I have mentioned before in other, recent posts about Murray, I love to collect him, but my lone preference is that he is in his Orioles uniform. While this card is unable to show off the famous batting helmet or jersey front that he is wearing, I would say that this card still falls into the Baltimore category. NICE!!! ...

baseball card Show Purchase #6 – Inspiration For My Next Subset!!! When I attend these monthly baseball card shows, the biggest thrill that I get is the chance to simply sift through a massive amount of cardboard. As a kid, I used to love doing this and getting this chance once a month makes up for the other 30 days a month that I get to shop online for them. While at the card shows, I always find it interesting when I discover a card or set that I had not seen before. And that was what happened when I came across these two cards: Coming from the 2011 Topps Gypsy Queen set, the two cards you are seeing come from the ‘Wal Climbers’ subset. I like the theme, and I love the images. This is definitely a set that I will investigate further. If the remainder of the cards look as good as the first two that I picked up, I will be going after the full set, for sure!! ...

Some of the cards that I found were of players that I don’t collect. Some were of cards that I already have in my collection. And some fell into the ‘Have to Have’ category. These two cards of Mike Schmidt make that list!!! Two very cool designs for Schmidt to be added too – this set is really starting to leave a very good impression on me. ...

I believe that the new 2013 release of this brand is coming in May and I am eager to see the final checklist so I can see which of my favorite players were included and which ones were not.

baseball card Show Purchase #3 – Lot Of Five George Brett Cards For The Player Collection!! While skimming through one of the many bargain bins that I spent time with on Friday night, I uncovered a section that was made up primarily of cards from the 1980′s – my bread and butter!! I tore through that part of the box pretty quickly as I had most of what was present. But, I did find five cards of George Brett – so I grabbed them all for my player collection. I was not sure if I needed all of them or not (tough to remember), but after a quick check of my Brett checklist, I needed three of the five so I am pretty happy about that. And for just $0.10 each card, this purchase was well worth the investment!! ...

And I did!! Have a look: This card comes from the 2010 Topps Vintage Legends set. What drew me to the card was the team headline and uniform that McCovey is sporting - the Padres. While many, myself included, think of McCovey as a member of the San Francisco Giants, he did spend the 1974, 1975, and part of the 1976 baseball season playing for the Padres. ...

Baseball Card Show Review

baseball card Show Review Friends, the first weekend of May is now past us and with it goes another South Florida baseball card show. I went to the show on Friday night with a few collecting goals in mind. How did I do? Well, I am working on two 2012 subsets that I needed just one card from for each to complete the set – sadly, I did not find either of them. But, I did grab a few 2013 Topps colored parallels for my Miami Marlins master team set so that was a nice surprise. I also did not walk away with the vintage stuff that I was seeking – there were dealers there with vintage cards, just not what I was wanting to bring home. I did also find inspiration for the next subset to collect too!! All in all, it felt as if this show was short a few dealers. And the crowd was a bit smaller as well. I’m not sure if the horrible rain we’ve been dealing with kept the buyers and sellers at bay or if it was the full-slate of NBA action that did the trick, but I would say that for the time that I was present, this was the lowest attendance that I have encountered in 2013 at the Friday night show. I was able to bring home some pretty good cards though. And I will be showing them off to you all day long. So, sit back, relax, have a drink and stay tuned into ’30-YOC’ all day. Enjoy. ...

baseball card SHOW T-O-N-I-G-H-T!!!! Yessir, it is the first Friday of the month and as you are reading this I am more than likely at the May baseball card show in Dania Beach. Since the last show, I have been going after a few projects that I am hoping I can enhance with new pick-ups at the show. I am not going to make a lengthy list of cards I am seeking this time around, but I have a general idea of what I am hoping to take home. The goals: Get the last card needed to complete my 2012 Topps Archives Deckle Edge set Get the last card needed to complete my 2012 Topps Gypsy Queen Moonshots set Work on the colored parallel cards from the 2013 Series One Marlins team set 2013 Topps Heritage cards of Giancarlo Stanton 2103 Topps Gypsy Queen singles for my Player Collections Something OLD – I am in a vintage mood and would love to bring home a 40-year old baseball card tonight We’ll see how it goes with these goals, but I am going in extremely optimistic that I will get some help from the dealers and their fully-loaded tables. Check back on Monday for a full report. Have a great weekend everyone!! ...

Hyun-Jin Ryu's First Baseball Card Coming Out Soon - Here's a Preview

Fri, 03 May 2013 21:00:00 GMT

Source: www.dodgersblueheaven.com --- Friday, May 03, 2013
Ryu has made quite an impression in his first month as a Major Leaguer with the Dodgers. He's been very effective on the mound despite not having a blazing fastball to lean on. Ryu mixes his pitches up well and has shown that he belongs. In fact, it's about time he get his first officially licensed Topps baseball card. With that in mind, Topps will be releasing their 2013 Bowman baseball card set next week, and it will definitely satisfy Dodgers collectors worldwide. Based on a checklist I saw last week, Hyun-Jin Ryu will have 3 different cards inserted into packs. There is a base card, a Topps 100 Prospects insert card, and a Chrome Refractor Mini card. Well, today I found out that Topps will also release a 4th card. It is a very limited "Lucky 5" insert redemption autographed card #1. See a preview pic of it above. Lucky fans holding redemption card #1 for the "Lucky 5" bonus card program will receive this card directly from Topps. Look at the intensity in his eyes. No doubt he is about to put down one of the 46 ballplayers he's struck out so far this season. * Please follow on twitter @ernestreyes * * Like Dodgers Blue Heaven on facebook * * Dodgers Blue Heaven home page * ...
