Welcome to my blog!!!

I have collected baseball cards and autographs over the years. I still have boxes full of cards (as well as newer cards) that are just sitting there. So, I have decided to see how many of them I can get autographed. I use through the mail as my preferred route for this adventure. I also have an account on Zistle and The Trading Card Database for trading purposes (stevienicks77).

Another TCDB trade with brcdad

I completed another trade right away with brcdad, who is a local trader.  I was able to hook him up with some Stadium Club needs, while I got quite a handful of cards for PC collections.

My favorite card of the trade is the Brett.


Saberhagen will be added to the Royals 660 mega collection; Salvy to the Royals All Star collection

2024 Heritage

Haven't found Topps Big League out in the wild of the big box stores, however, I did come across some Heritage today.  I think the best part of this set is the historical cards of the MVP players.  The catcher cards (in their gear) are nice.  I always like Heritage because it's easy for TTM cards.  Overall, an "eh" set this year.

First card

2nd pack

3rd pack

4th pack - I really hope this guy makes it.

5th pack - I really like this guy, too.
