Best Baseball Inserts and Variations from the 1990’s and early 2000’s
As I’ve been reacquainting myself with 1990’s and early 2000’s baseball cards – the cards from my heyday of collecting as a kid and teenager – I’m realizing just how many amazing and spectacular cards were in this era! The base cards may be considered by some to fall under the junk era category, but certainly there are variations, parallels and inserts galore that are just beautiful, and often rare. […]
2000 Tom Brady Rookie Cards
The Top Tom Brady Rookie Football Cards By Value and Desirability Tom Brady – the former 6th round draft pick and unlikely backup to Drew Bledsoe stepped into the starting role as New England Patriots starting QB after Bledsoe took a monster hit in week 2 from Jets LB Mo Lewis on September 23, 2001. A new era had begun. And now, almost 20 years, 6 Super Bowl victories, 4 […]
The Case of The Mysterious Mickey Mantle
Two of the exact same (but different) serial numbered Mickey Mantle autographs The 1991 Score Series 2 Mickey Mantle autograph set is still highly sought after by collectors, while continuing to be shrouded in a bit of mystery. 1991 Score was so over produced (I consider it the epitome of the junk era) that people STILL buy up cases of this stuff to rip in search of these Mantles that […]

At least according to a post in a popular Facebook group, 1of1 Sports Cards. We’re combing the interwebs to see if we can validate this. If this really happened, we’ll know very, VERY soon. What could this fetch? $100,000 sounds […]
2017 Museum Collection Triple Auto – Bo/Griffey/Trout
Personally, I think it’s great that we can help each other out online to spread the word and help folks acquire cards they need for their collections. This guy, Jose Rodriguez, has 3 out of these 5 triple autograph cards from 2017 Topps Muesum Collection. Finding three of the five is amazing enough for this mega-card, and tracking down the other two sounds like a tall order. But with the […]

Tracking Shohei Ohtani Card Sales – Are They Worth Investing In?
It’s Ohtani Madness y’all. The guy has been hot in the card collecting world since last year, with his 2017 Bowman Chrome Mega Mojo Refractor Rookie card fetching big money. After signing with the Los Angeles Angels in the winter 2018 off season, Ohtani was officially slated for card releases in Topps flagship products. With the release of 2018 Topps Heritage at the end of February, Ohtani autographed rookie cards […]
NOT an Extremely RARE Shaq 1992-93 Hoops Rookie card
Update! Well that didn’t take long. We found this guy: 1995 Skybox Shaquille O’Neal Commemorative Sheet – [Base] – Cut Singles #S12 So, no. Sadly, it’s not a super rare holy grail Shaq rookie card. Sorry seller 🙁 It’s still a pretty cool and obscure card, but now that it’s been identified properly, they’re not too hard to find. Credit to Dave Louie on Facebook for tracking it down. I’m […]

It’s a limited-run, buy from Topps.com only, specialty set in which they will release three cards per week (Wednesdays).

The set will feature hand painted commissioned paintings from artist […]
1990 Fleer Jose Uribe?!?
*NOTE: This post was originally posted in December 2017. I’ve added some edits throughout the post and at the bottom (as of 12/29/2020), but have left the original post mostly in tact for reference. This card is YUGE. Very Rare! Investment! Get them while you can! I’m kidding, obviously. For a couple months now, there has been a mysterious 1990 Fleer Jose Uribe #74 card that has been listed on […]
Dak Prescott Autopen Panini Prizm Fake Autographs
Over the weekend, news started to break that there were possible cards from Panini floating around of Dak Prescott autographs that may not be legit. One person has 4 of the #/5 Panini Prizm autos, all of which are clearly auto-penned. I’ve also seen comment that most, if not all of these Panini Prizm autos are sticker autographs, but the Dak appears to be one of the only on-card […]
