    Went to the Missoula Osprey vs. Ogden Raptors matchup last night and got Ogden Manager Jack McDowell's auto on 3 cards. Very nice guy, and it was great to meet a Cy Young Winner! Thanks, Jeremy

    The last few YSL cards needed before the big charity auction!

    What is the most you ever spent on a single card?

    The most I've ever spent on a single card was for my dream card, a 1933 Goudey Babe Ruth #144, that I later got graded a BVG 1. I bought it raw on eBay about 5 years ago, and grand total with shipping and grading fees I'm into it for $683.65. The last BVG 1 sold for $855 and I still have mine...

    Thanks everyone! cjay - I completely agree. I wish they would leave them intact, but I won't complain when I pull one.

    Retail 1/1 Cut Auto Pull!

    Hey everyone, I haven't been on the Bench for quite some time, and also haven't purchased any packs in that same amount of time, but for some reason I decided to pick up the last 3 retail 2014 Topps Baseball Rack Packs left on the hanger. I ended up pulling a 2014 Topps Strata Joe Cronin 1/1...

    Tristar fail...

    I know, right? William "Mookie" Wilson is not even close to the same as the Royals Willie Wilson, I would expect a card/memorabilia company to get that one right. Especially when it's inscribed with a specific achievement. Wow.

    Tristar fail...

    Mookie Wilson? Are you sure about that Tristar? Looks like the seller missed it too. http://www.ebay.com/itm/TRISTAR-PLATINUM-MOOKIE-WILSON-AUTOGRAPH-BASEBALL-W-82-BATTING-CHAMP-/390592010820?pt=US_Autographs&hash=item5af1191a44

    Boycott Topps

    Sorry guys I couldn't chime in I had business on the Oregon coast to attend to. That happened long ago for me. A blatant racist like Cobb = a subhuman piece of trash. Waiting for the "BoomerSooner let's it go" thread. And like this thread or not, this is the most "alive" I have seen the...

    Boycott Topps

    An argument could be made for Rose to replace Tris Speaker or Ty Cobb on this list.

    Boycott Topps

    Well, in my opinion you can "argue" that he is the greatest, he may or may not be. Nice pulls on the autos, I LOVE that they did that set, great stuff! I have a PSA DNA of Rose, but I'll have to get one of those pack certified autos one of these days.

    Boycott Topps

    "If not the greatest player of all time" implies that he can be argued as such. Whether he is or not I didn't say. I would definitely put Ruth ahead of him, DiMaggio... not so sure about that but I can see the argument. Definitely a top 10 (without question) in my opinion.

    Boycott Topps

    I can definitely see where your coming from, point taken. Personally I thought he was one of the greatest if not THE greatest player to play the game. I like his attitude outside of baseball, he is an outsider, I can respect that.

    Boycott Topps

    Rose is an American Icon, that's my opinion and a lot of people share it. Not having him in the Hall of Fame makes Bud Selig as good as a flag burner. Not sure why Valediction and BoomerSooner decided to gang up on me, but I maintain my stance. Flag burning may not be as offensive to me as...

    Boycott Topps

    Actually I don't collect or trade any more at all. I've sold a large portion of my collection before I even got wind of this, which makes a boycott much easier. However if it's MLB that's swinging the ax then I have no beef with Topps, but I do have a problem with the way they said it. They...

    Boycott Topps

    He is banned from the Hall of Fame, but he is still in good standing with the MLBPA. His name has popped up on Topps cards, 2006 for sure (reverse of Shawn Green's single). Even if the licensing were an issue, why put a blurb on the card that would leave Rose out? Why not take the high road...
