If, like me, you are a certain age and remember the 80's you'll likely remember how big a deal BMX was for a brief glorious spell. It was everywhere it seemed. It went from 10speeds and cruisers with Banana seats to BMX BMX BMX everywhere. I had one, it was from Canadian Tire. I wanted…
Another day another card knocked off the most wanted list. This time is was previously #2 (which means the 2nd longest I had a card listed) 1990 O-Pee-Chee Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Movie #29 Watching From Below was picked up in a junk box with about 30% of the set. I was so happy…
It was my 50th birthday just a few days back. Hard to believe it but I guess it's much better than the alternative. I was Born in April, I'm not sure exactly when the 1972 O-Pee-Chee set would have been released, but likely after my birthday. That means if I was going to chase all…
Well this past week has been pretty good as I managed to knock 2 cards off my top 10 most wanted list. The first to go was Most Wanted #3 1993 O-Pee-Chee Premier – Top Draft Pick Insert #3 Rod Henderson. Extra special thanks to Ron who saw it on my blog and included it…
It's amazing what you can learn from the back of a baseball card. On the back of the 1973 Ken Singleton I learned that Ken is allergic to wool uniforms. I also learned Monty suffered a broken bone in his foot, Lou enjoys playing chess and Ricks baseball hero is Stan Musial. The 1973 O-Pee-Chee…
I purposely held off from posting yesterday as I figured everyone would do a May The 4th/ Star Wars themed post. Not that I don't like Star Wars, I love it and was excited to see the new Obi-Wan Kenobi trailer, but i just didn't want to do one yesterday as my first post back…
I've probably mentioned before that 2009 is the newest O-Pee-Chee set I am chasing. It's also the last O-Pee-Chee set with the O-Pee-Chee logo so it makes sense. I'm slowly plugging away and getting a few cards closer at a time as I make trades on the TCDB. I don't think I've picked a single…
The WHA lived fast and died young. But left an indelible mark on the hockey world. Blue Pucks, White skates, opening up new markets and forcing the NHL to break the old school lock and embrace some change. WHA cards are a throw back to those days and I love 'em. Can't get enough. Which…
To knock a card off the Most Wanted list is always a great day. To be able to knock two off on the same day is a super great day. To knock three off at the same time is pretty amazing. But to knock FOUR cards off the list in the same day is super…
The Blue Jays looked good this year and if they had just snuck into the playoffs then who knows what could have been. I can tell you what did though, back to back wins in the early 90's What else came out in the early 90's? Unique O-Pee-Chee designs. After so many years of just…
