It’s the event we’ve all waited for, The National Sports Collectors Convention and that it was coming back to the best city in the U.S.A made it even better. Flash back to about 9 months ago, that’s when the Dr. told me and the wife that we were expecting our first child, yes the week of The National. So DPM, will not be in Chicago but plans are in the works for next year in Baltimore.  I will be posting stories, links, and tweets from other collectors this week that are at the National so be sure to check back often. Have a great week, collectors…..

Cardboard on the Big Screen

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.

Gretzky’s A Cub

Posted: July 22, 2011 in Baseball Cards, Chicago Cubs, Trevor Gretzky, Wayne Gretzky

There may be another great Gretzky card to chase in years to come,  but this time it wont be on the ice. According to The Toronto Sun, Trevor Gretzky, who is the son of “The Great One” Wayne Gretzky has signed with the Chicago Cubs, instead of playing  at San Diego State. Hall of Famer and Coach at San Diego State Tony Gwynn said “We heard he signed with the Cubs on Monday,”

Trevor scouts pretty good for his power potential, but one scout adds he has a long way to go.  So which card company jumps on this first? Maybe a Trevor/Wayne auto card? Stay Tune…..

Allen & Ginter – I’ll Pass For Now

Posted: July 17, 2011 in 2011 Allen & Ginter

Allen & Ginter is alive and well and does it bring out the pack searchers. I stopped by Target the other night to grab a few packs to see what all the hype is about this year, only to be greeted by a pack searcher. I had to take a double take,I thought for sure this guy was Kyle Petty, maybe looking for his own card? Well as I snuck up behind him, I let out a find anything good yet. He didnt know what to say…. I finally got, O… I just got here.  I found a few rack packs, which I asked him if he had searched yet, he said he hadn’t. So I ended up with a few “unsearched” packs. Some nice looking cards, with lot of gimmick chase cards, autos, and game used to go after, but I feel I’m not going to get caught in the hype this year. Maybe a few packs or blaster boxes but I’ll leave the rest to the case breakers and pack searchers, and wait for another product to throw my cash at. Below is a video with some of the big hits thats Allen & Ginter brings this year, check it out….

GEM MINT 10 Christian Lopez Rookie Card

Posted: July 13, 2011 in 3000 Hits, Christian Lopez, Derek Jeter, Topps

When Christian Lopez decided to return Derek Jeter’s 3,000th hit ball on Saturday it’s a good chance he didnt expect what would happen in the next few days. Since Lopez was nice enough to give Jeter the ball instead of trying to cash in on it the Yankees offered up some memorabilia and luxury box tickets to the remaining home games.  Overall, a nice trade right? Well now comes word that Lopez would owe anywhere between $5,000-$14,000 in taxes on his “free” items. Lopez told the Daily News, “Worse comes to worse, I’ll have to pay the taxes,” “The IRS has a job to do, so I’m not going to hold it against them, but it would be cool if they helped me out a little on this.”

The gifts keep coming for Lopez, coming to Topps packs soon will be a Christian Lopez baseball card and he’ll choose the image for its 2012 Jeter card. O yeah, he’ll also get a 2009 World Series ring. Lopez said he collected cards as a kid, and probably has a couple thousand baseball cards.
