Tackling Distribution and Printing Mysteries of C Series Hockey and Lacrosse Cards

January 3, 2023 By Bobby Burrell

The impetus for this article harkens back to the Montreal Card Show in 2008. Two elderly gentlemen approached the booth next to mine and when they reached into a bag to retrieve three old cigarette packs and placed them on the table, my heart skipped a beat or three. The two Derby packs were used to store complete sets of C59 and a C60 lacrosse cards which were issued at the … [Read more...] about Tackling Distribution and Printing Mysteries of C Series Hockey and Lacrosse Cards

Sweet Caporal Domino Discs Loaded With Stars

December 16, 2019 By Bob D'Angelo

The domino effect never really caught on, but the 1909-1912 Sweet Caporal Domino Discs (PX7) set offers big-name players at relatively affordable prices. The Domino Discs contain many of the same players that appeared in the more popular Sweet Caporal pin set — with some of them even sporting the same pose — but the discs remain obscure. The discs were inserted into packs … [Read more...] about Sweet Caporal Domino Discs Loaded With Stars

Buying On A Budget: Christy Mathewson

July 10, 2016 By Anson Whaley

Christy Mathewson T202 Hassan Triple Folders

A 373 lifetime wins, 2.13 career ERA, sterling personal reputation and membership in the Hall of Fame’s first class all cement his place in history. His magical years on the field as well as his painful demise and untimely death off it years after he inhaled mustard gas fighting in World War I adds to his mystique. Christy Mathewson baseball cards, especially the … [Read more...] about Buying On A Budget: Christy Mathewson

Walter Johnson: Buying The Big Train On A Small Budget

June 19, 2016 By Anson Whaley

B18 Blankets Walter Johnson

Playing in the major leagues with the Washington Senators from 1907 to 1927, Walter Johnson is widely considered as one of the game's best pitchers of all time. As a player in the pre-war era, his cards might not seem all that attainable for the everyday collector at first glance. However, the Big Train's contemporary items may be a little more accessible than you … [Read more...] about Walter Johnson: Buying The Big Train On A Small Budget

September 26, 2013 By Rich Klein

We’d like to begin by congratulating the winner of COMC Challenge #2, Stephen Schauer of Cincinnati, OH who correctly completed the three-card 1997 Topps retail baseball set by naming Chipper Jones as card #1 (Ken Griffey Jr. and Cal Ripken complete the set).  We did receive a whole bunch of entries for our last contest and I want to thank you for participating. COMC … [Read more...] about COMC Challenge: Sweet Caporal Doesn’t Always Mean Baseball Cards

December 16, 2011 By Rich Mueller

Eddie Plank T206 PSA 2

Is a six-figure baseball card 'underrated'?  If that card is the T206 Eddie Plank, it just might be.  While the Honus Wagner card from vintage collecting's most popular set gets most of the attention inside and outside the hobby, the Plank card flies under the radar to those who haven't really studied it.  Small headlines are generated when one comes to auction, but there are … [Read more...] about T206 Eddie Plank a Worthy Challenger to Wagner
