Last night I got a tweet from Mario over at Wax Heaven. He wanted to show me the new Raul Ibanez autographs and relics that can be pulled from 2009 Topps Updates & Highlights. This is Ibanez’s first certified autograph of him in a Phillies uniform. Before this, Phillies fans would have to settle for [...]

No, I’m not talking about cards worth a penny. I’m talking about cards containing pennies. A few years back I saw these cards on eBay but never gave much thought to them. Recently I’ve been more interested in these cards which were made by Auth/Ink and always contain a penny. They always feature a famous [...]

One card manufacturer that you don’t hear about very often is TK Legacy. They are known for making trading card sets geared towards specific college teams. I only own one card made by TK Legacy which is my Jim Mandich autograph. As a Dolphins collector I needed to have it since it is Mandich’s only [...]

Press Pass updated their website today with new images of 2009 Legends Racing that is due out on 10/28/09. I’m a big fan of their Legends Football product, so it will be interesting to try the racing version. Just like football, each hobby box will contain (3) mini boxes. Each mini box will have (6) [...]

Back in 1996 this was a huge product. Before 1996 it was pretty difficult to pull an autographed card, but Leaf changed that with their Signature Baseball Series. This was the first product that guaranteed a collector one certified autograph per pack. Now that sounds all nice and good, but if you remember how overproduced [...]

Take a look at this awesome sketch card of “Shoeless” Joe Jackson drawn by sports artist Monty Sheldon. Monty was nice enough to send over this sneak peak before it hits the auction block later this evening. This is the first sketch card I’ve ever seen of Joe Jackson and looks pretty cool. This is [...]

A few years ago I saw a Mickey Mantle card like this Cobb from 2004 Upper Deck SP Legendary Cuts. I guess because the word “cuts” is in the product title that gives people the right to take a common base card and create their own die-cut inserts, which of coarse are always numbered 1/1. [...]

Today TRISTAR came out and informed The Hobby on their new 2009 Signa Cuts Limited Edition Baseball that will be released in mid-November. One of the better improvements I’ve seen so far is the fact each card will come in a nice protective holder (even though it says Beckett on it). TRISTAR probably got that [...]
