Ricky Williams has to be the Josh Hamilton of football. A few years ago Williams was having some serious problems and looked like he was never going to play pro ball again. After coming over to the Dolphins, he has really turned himself around. In 1999, collectors were all over his stuff. Then when he [...]

This morning I made the 40 minute drive to the Marysville Lions Club to attend one of the CC Collectibles shows. The show was a little bigger than your standard mall show and I got to see some of the regular dealers. Former Cincinnati Bengals and Philadelphia Eagle’s linebacker Bill Bergey arrived around lunchtime to [...]

Byrd got his start with the Phillies and then went on to the Nationals. Now he and his agent are trying to stay with the Rangers. His ’09 UD Sweet Spot autograph is one of his better cards and can easily be picked up for under $10.00.

There are a lot of multi-sport athletes for collectors to find wondering around The Hobby. People like Jim Thorpe, Deon Sanders, Brian Jordan, and Bo Jackson are some of the people that first come to mind. One that people usually don’t think about right away is John Elway. When you first hear the name John Elway [...]

I think this is one of Mathewson’s coolest looking modern day cards. There isn’t anything fancy about it. Just a plain mugshot of one of the greatest pitchers in baseball history.

Here are a few images of the cards you’ll have the chance to pull from boxes of Press Pass 2010 and Eclipse. Even if your not a fan of racing, you have to admit that they do have some really nice looking patches. The Four-Wide relics use almost the same design as they have for [...]

One of my favorite retro sets of 2009 has to be TRISTAR Obak. It has such a great selection of players, especially ones that don’t have a lot of cards floating around The Hobby. For some reason one player in particular seems to be receiving a lot more attention than anyone else included in this [...]

Despite being the #1 pick in the 2007 NBA Draft, Oden hasn’t quite lived up to the hype. He has suffered a bunch of injuries that have left him sitting on the bench. In 2007 Oden made an appearance at the Topps booth during The National and people were lined up to see him. Topps [...]

Can you believe that people in Kansas City actually had a petition asking the Chiefs not to let Johnson pass Priest Holmes’s record? This card has fallen in value quite a bit over the years. I was at the Penn State game when he set the rushing record.
