    Community Project: help validate the 1985 MSA Subway Discs checklist

    1985 saw the release of two nearly identical sets of MSA discs (which unfortunately looked almost exactly like most of the previous years MSA discs sets). There was the Thom McAn/JOX set, issued as a promotion for Thom McAn's JOX tennis shoes, and the completely anonymous Subway set, that looked...

    Are there any 1993 Topps Gold printing defects without the gold?

    A few years ago, someone traded me this 1992 Topps Gold Hensley Meulens card that was missing the gold. It makes for a fairly nice card with the lack of name/team banner at the bottom. That led me to wonder if there were any cards like this from the 1993 set. Has anyone seen any?

    WTB: Hensley Meulens/Roberto Kelly giants team issue cards

    Does anyone have any Hensley Meulens or Roberto Kelly cards from the black & white team issued cards the Giants have at the yearly fan fest autograph signings? I'm offering $5 each for a card from each year they have been printed (I'm hoping they should exist for the last three years for Bam...

    Can anyone help with Chinese names?

    I've found a blog and accompanying album with loads of scans and information about the early baseball cards releases in Taiwan in the 1990s, just after the Chinese Professional Baseball League started. There are enough scans and detail that I have begun the task of assembling checklists for the...

    Rusty Tillman (baseball) collector?

    If the Rusty Tillman collector I traded with sometime in the last few years would shoot me a PM, I have something interesting for you.

    The baseball card hobby in Mexico

    Having semi-tackled Venezuela, with a little inspiration from member r2d2 (who has already helped out with several corrections), I took a stab at broadening the world's knowledge of baseball cards and stickers in Mexico...

    online checklists for Japanese, Mexican, Venezuelan and minor league baseball sets

    I've finally written up a not-so-brief blog post on my involvement in the Inventory Manager system over at SportsCardForum. And while this posting does relate almost entirely to another trading site, the emphasis is on the wonderful tool being built over there that I would recommend everything...

    If only their colors weren't black and PINK

    I'm not afraid to say I'm no Bret Hart and am not man enough to pull off wearing this jersey and/or jacket. It is taking all the self control I have not to pull the trigger on this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1994-HENSLEY-MEULENS-CHIBA-LOTTE-MARINES-JAPAN-GAME-WORN-JERSEY-PANTS-JACKET-/360403718400

    hobby magazine index

    Since I've got a stack of old hobby magazines from the 80s & early 90s piled up in the house, I was thinking of starting a baseball card (or more generically sports card) periodical index something akin to the Reader's Guide to Periodical Literature we all used to use back in school when doing...

    YSL distribution

    Has anyone worked out the breakdown of which YSL cards were packed in which Upper Deck products? While I'm generally cheap when it comes to adding to my collection, and I've managed not to pay more than about $1.75 for any one of Winfield's YSL cards, but it occurs to me that those that were...

    Was there a 2010 Oakland A's team set giveaway?

    Just to see what it would show, I punched in the tracking code on the back of one of last year's SF Giants Emerald Nuts SGA cards, and it gave me this: Product: 2010 Topps BB SF Giants Promo Packs CP code: W73621045 Manufacturer: Graphic Converting Texas Manufacturer date...

    SF Giants team set giveaway (Sept 10th)

    It's that time of year again, when the Giants are having their Emerald Nuts-sponsored team-set night. This year, it's September 10th. Is anywhere here going? I'm looking for a way to pick up the coaches card (hopefully two copies) with Hensley Meulens and Roberto Kelly. I don't really need...

    Has anyone seen any Gypsy Queen Gold cards?

    From Topps website, they list this as one of the parallel sets: GOLD (100 subjects from base set daubed with bright UV coating and foil stamped Gypsy Queen ...) So far, I have yet to see any cards matching this description. Did they not make it into the set or are people missing them amongst...

    What countries have baseball cards?

    Always trying to expand my odd collection, and help raise other collectors' awareness of non-US baseball cards, I signed up for a MercadoLibre.com (Mexico's eBay) account yesterday to try and buy some Mexican League cards. So far, my searches have turned up card/sticker/stamp sets from these...

    Beckett numbering of Triple Threads relics?

    Does anyone understand how Beckett is numbering the relic cards for 2010 Topps Triple Threads? The cards I've seen have no numbers, but Beckett is tagging them with R42, R43, R44. Since they don't list what the relics spell out, how can you tell which is which in Beckett's listings? Or how to...

    Player Collectors opinions on 1993 Topps/R&N China?

    I was browsing through a copy of the 2006 Standard Catalog last night and caught the listing for the 1993 Topps/R&N China porcelain cards. I'd seen some of these on eBay before, but never really looked into them since Beckett doesn't catalog them. According to SCD, in 1993, R&N China licensed...

    storage of smaller cards/stickers

    What are some solutions you fellow Benchies have employed for storing smaller items in your collection (at least those of you who don't sleeve and top-load EVERY card in your collection)? I'm struggling with a way to store a lot of my Topps, Fleer, Panini, etc, stickers without resorting to...

    thinking of breaking up my Matt Williams collection...

    Are there any Matt Williams collectors here? I'm thinking of breaking up my Matt Williams collection, as I've just lost interest and was wondering if anyone else might be interested in some of the pieces. I don't have anything high-end, but I do have a fair smattering of oddball, tough to find...

    identification guide for pinback buttons?

    Does anyone here collect pinback buttons with baseball players on them or know if there is any kind of organized guide for them? I see them a lot on eBay for players I collect, but was hoping there might be someone who already knows something about this kind of thing before diving in.

    Is anyone going to the Giants game on Sunday, Aug 1? It's baseball card night and I'm hoping I can bribe someone to help me snag a set so I can get this year's 1 new Hensley Meulens card. Thanks!
