Topps USA Baseball Boxed Set Review

By

By Rich Klein Ever since the "rookie card phenomenon" began in earnest in the early 1980's, collectors have been looking for a way to get early cards from major manufacturers. The first set I can remember that featured a tribute to members of US national baseball teams was the 1985 Topps set which honored those members of the Olympic Gold Medal winning baseball team that had … [Read more...] about Topps USA Baseball Boxed Set Review

By

2010 Topps UFC Main Event Review

By

by Rich Klein Twenty years ago, if someone would have told me that I would be writing a review about a Topps wax box of a sport that did not even exist in 1990, I'd have probably said they were missing a few screws. I also would have had  the same reaction if I'd been told I'd do almost everything relating to cards on computer networks and through a communication system … [Read more...] about 2010 Topps UFC Main Event Review
