Twice as Nice: Garnett from a Repack

With the Mets’ slow start, I have been itching to open something, so I went back to Modells (because I would never go back to K-mart to get cards) to see what they got. They had mostly older stuff like Topps Treasury and some of it half off like blasters of hockey and older [...]

CotG: UD Johan Santana

A great comeback after a miserable game against the Nationals. Maine was excellent and where did Omir Santos come from? He seemingly came from nowhere and has really been impressive so far defensively and now offensively. With Brian Schneider coming back soon, Santos deserves another look later in season. I know [...]

Mail Day!

I won bunch of Tri-stars cards from Boxbusters and I am kind of prospector so I really enjoy sets like these. The card I am most excited for is the Ike Davis card. I have been looking for a card of his for an in- person autograph or TTM. With tickets to [...]

CotG: Stadium Club John Franco

The Nationals is the best cure for slumps. For this Mets win, I have 3 packs of 1994 Topps Stadium Club Series 2. As expected, I only recognize half of the players on the cards and although I got a 1 in 6 packs Dugout Dirt Comic insert (Jack McDowell), I didn’t get [...]

CotG: Topps Jae Seo

Finally, the Mets win. There is nothing worst than losing to the Nationals right now. They are the worst organization in baseball in more ways than one.
I picked up this repack from K- mart in NYC and honestly the choices were limited. I was doing errands and it was convenient.

Unfortunately [...]

Easily My Best Pull Ever

First sorry about the poor pictures. I think there is a problem with my lens in the camera but I haven’t gotten around to getting it fixed.
Even though I made a pact with myself to only open packs when the Mets win, the Mets haven’t been doing so good lately (although they [...]

Free Cards

My collection is officially taking up too much room. So like some bloggers, I am offering random baseball/ basketball/other cards for free, only the cost of shipping. You if you are interested send me a SASE self address stamped envelop/box. Email me at park_dweller at yahoo dot com for my address. [...]

Cards No One Wants: Antoine Walker Jersey/ Card Frame

This is going to be an ongoing segment on cards no one should want. However, if I am proven wrong, these cards are available free to the first person who leaves a comment on why they want the card and emails me their address.
I got this from a repack awhile back and it is [...]

CotG: Swell Ed Kranepool

What a way to win! Strike them out, throw them out and I never heard of the catcher (Santos?) until yesterday. Santana was great and the bullpen was great.
So with the Mets winning, I have two more packs of Swell’s Baseball Greats. I enjoyed opening these packs more than the recent baseball packs [...]

CotG: Pacific Nolan Ryan

As much I hated Castillo all of last season, I can’t complain today. A great walk off. Also, Sheffield’s 500th home run couldn’t have come at a better time. Good for him.
So another Mets win, another pack opened. Today I have another oddball pack, Pacific Nolan Ryan Trading Card Series. [...]
