COMC will be at the Chicago Suntimes Show November 18th-20th. Steve Hollander an employee, with COMC handles the responsibilities for Card Show drop-offs. Collectors can drop off their cards at the COMC booth and save on postage. A COMC spokesperson says Card Show drop-offs are getting so popular, we thought it best to put up a convenient guide to where you can find Steve over the coming months. Check it out by clicking here.
As I Searched through Netflix, it got me thinking of movies based around baseball cards. The list of sports movies goes on and on, everything from baseball, football, hockey, etc, etc……… But when it comes to making that list of cardboard on the big screen, Hollywood just doesn’t see it I guess. I found the following two movies Diminished Capacity, Where a Chicago newspaper editor suffers a concussion that takes him from the political pages to comic strip detail. He travels home to rural Missouri where his aging Uncle Rollie is on the verge of losing his home and has memory problems of his own, but selling his rare expensive card could solve his money problems.
The other movie I found was Cop Out. A movie about two New York cops on the trail of a stolen, rare, mint-condition baseball card which leads them to a merciless, memorabilia-obsessed gangster.
There’s got to be more cardboard love on the big screen, right? Drop us a comment if you know of any other sport card movies.
Check out this Baseball Card Commercial for The 7th Inning Stretch, a card store that was in Evansville,IN. Looks to be shot around 1990.

The 31st National is over, and as collectors and dealers make there way back home everyone must have a few ideas on
how we can make this show better. Below are the some ideas from Sports Collectors Daily, Sports Cards Uncensored and A Cardboard Problem.
The National Card Show: New Directions?
There use to be in almost every town and city across America, but now adays finding a baseball card shop is usually slim to none, but there are a few still out there like Tim’s Baseball Card Shop in the Chicago Area. While Tim has a steady stream of customers buying sports trading cards and sports memorabilia, the last thing we would expect to see is Tim’s Baseball Card Shop in one of those expensive Super Bowl commercials.
Tim Herron, The Chicago area dealer will be one of four small American businesses featured in a spot being prepared by Miller/Coors Brewing Company to run during Super Bowl XLIV. The 30-second ad for Miller High Life will feature Herron, the owner of Tim’s Baseball Card Shop, along with the owners of Del’s Barber Shop in Escondido, Calif., Loretta’s Authentic Pralines in New Orleans, La., Bizarre Guitar & Drum in Phoenix, Ariz.

If you aren’t familiar with YouTube user “allenmp” apparently they are a few guys in the Philippines that open numerous amounts of high priced products. Earlier this year they opened over 50 cases of Upper Deck Exquisite Basketball 2008-2009. So it’s good to know that all those great cards that most of us are chasing are probably sitting over in the Philippines. Check out the video, it’s pretty good and by the way Upper Deck said they will replace the empty box.
Panini America unveiled another short-printed Rookie Card from its 2009 Prestige Basketball set, something Pacers fans will be excited about. Card No. 163 of Tyler Hansbrough. TH, was the 2008 ACC Player of the Year at North Carolina and is the the Tar Heels’ all-time leading scorer.
