Highly recommend this book if your interested in the steroid era narrative. Incredibly well written and absolutely heartbreaking.

Carlos Beltran's only rookie card in 1995 Topps Traded was an error. He was not pictured on it. Instead it was Juan LeBron, a first-round pick who never made the big leagues.

Now, Beltran is a Hall of Famer.

Although, you could find Beltran on LeBron's card.

A great innovation that started in MLB is coming to NBA next. Topps/Fanatics will include Debut Patch logos on jerseys that will be authenicated and then used in future signed trading cards.

This is something I can get behind.

yeah, seems like flagship is going to have the same design at least this year. I wonder how it iwll be in the future. Who gets the lead on the design for flagship? MLB because it starts the calendar year.

Topps and NBA are back together - And we have questions As the calendar turns to October, the card world is preparing for a shake-up.

Topps and NBA are making cards for the first time in 15 years starting this month. Here are some questions -- and answers -- I have on the upcoming license.

Pleasantly surprised that they're using "Expos colors" for the Nationals... In previous Heritage sets they generally shied away from doing that

I've been to 21 different MLB stadiums, but of the current stadiums, I've only seen 16 of them. (Not counting the Rays, though I've been to both).

How many stadiums have you visited?

Would you pay $100K for a signed baseball card with a piece of an Evan Longoria bat knob — or $700 for the entire bat? A one-of-a-kind card with a bat knob piece featuring Charizard from Pokeman has already drawn a $100,000 bounty.

Would you rather have the bat knob card or the bat?

It's most likely the autos, especially on-card. They take longer.
