Who was the star of the 2013 NFL post-season? While many people will remember Russell Wilson and Percy Harvin and even Malcolm Smith who had ZERO trading cards when he won the Super Bowl XLVIII MVP award, there is little doubt the Richard Sherman got most of the attention in the days leading up to the game. His rant after the NFC Championship Game belied his intelligence … [Read more...] about eBay Card of the Day: 2012 Panini Contenders Playoff Ticket Richard Sherman

eBay Card of The Day: 1972 Topps Traded Jim Fregosi
One of the concepts we miss about multiple series of cards being issued during the course of a season like we had from the 1950’s through the early 70’s is seeing so many individual player cards get updated during the actual season. Yes, Topps does it now with their Update series, but it doesn’t arrive until very late in the calendar year. Things were different in the days … [Read more...] about eBay Card of The Day: 1972 Topps Traded Jim Fregosi
eBay Card of the Day: Namath’s Rookie Shot in the Hospital
The recent Super Bowl may have been a dud of a game but one of the highlights was the appearance of Joe Willie Namath tossing the ceremonial coin in a pre-game ceremony while wearing a fur coat. Nearly fifty years after his professional debut, Namath is still making news and we suspect he will always produce some interesting media fodder for as long as he is in the public … [Read more...] about eBay Card of the Day: Namath’s Rookie Shot in the Hospital
eBay Card of the Day: 1934 Goudey Lou Gehrig
Seventy-five years ago, perhaps the most memorable sporting event wasn’t even a game, but a speech given in Yankee Stadium by one of the game’s biggest stars. At the time, there was simply no bigger star than Lou Gehrig. A powerful, college educated slugger with a boyish face and a dimpled smile, it must have seemed surreal for fans who watched his “Luckiest Man” speech … [Read more...] about eBay Card of the Day: 1934 Goudey Lou Gehrig
eBay Card of the Day: Russell Wilson…Baseball Player
Let's face the facts. NFL quarterbacks are usually tremendous athletes who have showed potential in other sports along the way. A great example is New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, who was actually drafted by the Montreal Expos in the 18th round of the 1995 amateur draft. Needless to say Brady made the right decision by focusing on his football career. Before him … [Read more...] about eBay Card of the Day: Russell Wilson…Baseball Player
Hot Ligety Dog: Ted’s Golden Autograph is eBay Card of the Day
Sometimes our pre-Olympic television ads do not quite work out the way we would all to see. Do you remember the Dan and Dave ads from more than two decades ago? Well when Dan O'Brien failed to clear his pole vault height, he ended up not going to the Olympics in 1992. Fortunately, he did bounce back to earn a gold medal at the 1996 Olympics in the decathlon. This year before … [Read more...] about Hot Ligety Dog: Ted’s Golden Autograph is eBay Card of the Day
eBay Card of the Day: T.J. Oshie 2008-09 The Cup Patch Auto
As is my wont, I was way too early for set-up at the recent Awesome Card Show in Richardson, Texas. The promoter had been there by 7:30 the previous two times but this time was thinking more about 8:15-8:30 and thus I had time to kill and wandered across the street to the local McDonald’s for a cup of coffee. This McDonald’s has a television set up so customers can watch … [Read more...] about eBay Card of the Day: T.J. Oshie 2008-09 The Cup Patch Auto
eBay Card of the Day: Mattingly’s Best Rookie Card Spurs ‘What if?’ Discussion
Every generation of baseball fans have their "what-if's". For Cubs fans of the 1960's and early 1970's the question might be what if Ken Hubbs’ plane had stayed in the air and for Rangers fans about 10 years ago the question might be what would Ruben Mateo's career had been if he had suffered a freak injury which destroyed his running ability? However, for New York Yankee … [Read more...] about eBay Card of the Day: Mattingly’s Best Rookie Card Spurs ‘What if?’ Discussion
eBay Card of the Day: 1952 Topps Gus Zernial
Sometimes events occur which just seem to be mystical. Fred Astaire seemingly danced on the ceiling in the Royal Wedding film. Michael Jackson had jaws agape when he began dancing the moonwalk during the Motown Yesterday Today and Tomorrow television special in 1983. That one appearance took him from the major star he was to the superstardom he would maintain until his … [Read more...] about eBay Card of the Day: 1952 Topps Gus Zernial
eBay Card of the Day: 1998-99 Flair Showcase Michael Jordan Takeit2.net
We used to have a saying in the baseball card hobby that card collecting ran in a 20- year cycle. Which meant that after an young man (or woman) purchased their cards as a child and then discovered some of puberty's joys, then there would be about a 20-year lapse before they returned to card collecting. Although I always wondered about whether the generation that went so … [Read more...] about eBay Card of the Day: 1998-99 Flair Showcase Michael Jordan Takeit2.net
