Baseball Again

The actual MLB baseball season is quickly running down and now is when it gets most interesting for those of us who have a team still in play. For me its The Blue Jays. This is not out of any overwhelming loyalty, they just happen to be the closest geographic team and I remember being…

If it’s Friday it must be ALF day.

On my desk is a hodgepodge of cards that are waiting to be put away from multiple trades, pickups or purchases. All of them are cool to me, all are O-Pee-Chee and all get me a little closer to my ultimate goal of O-Pee-Chee domination. So without further delay, here we go. I didn't really…

A sticky situation.

I know some people don't really care about the stickers and albums that came out in the 90's for baseball and football. But as they are O-Pee-Chee I definitely do. I remember going to the store and buying packs and packs and sticking them in the albums as well as everywhere else. My bedroom dress…

Not O-Pee-Chee, but still cool

I cannot survive on just O-Pee-Chee as I like to make trades and not everyone has O-Pee-Chee to trade back. In those cases I have a list of items I always try to add. Among them are, food issues, oddballs and vintage. Well today we have just that. The food issue is from 1997 Post…

Guess Who’s Back?

If you guessed the O-Pee-Chee brand after a few years hiatus, you win! What do you win? Well you win the right to keep going and look at some cool cards I picked up from the 1998-99 season. The last "real" O-Pee-Chee set was issued in 1994-95 and was the Premier brand. The company essentially…

Some Heritage And Inserts

2001-02 O-Pee-Chee had some of the nicest inserts and parallels around. The main Parallel was the 1971-72 Heritage version which took the classic look and threw it on the front. It would have been cooler if they did the back vintage-y as well but I guess you can't be perfect. There is only 110 cards…

Batman!

This set is coming along slowly as my notes show I haven't added a card from the set since2018! Oh well, here it is. The corners are rough but overall its not too bad, except for someone either added there initials C.L or tried to change Batman to Catman. I should eventually try to focus…

Right Place, Right Time

Sometimes in this hobby you have to be lucky. I try to make my own luck a bit by making sure everyone I talk to knows I collect sports cards and I'm happy to look at their collections. So far this summer it has worked out 3 times in my favour. Once a co-worker let…

40 some years in the making..

I did it..I finally finished the 1976-77 Topps Glossy inserts. Why did it take so long? Well to be honest, for the first 20 or so years I wasn't trying to complete it. In fact for most of the80's I didn't realize the set existed. I thought it was the same as the 1977-78 O-Pee-Chee…
