Good Performance + Sub Par Record = Falling Values
By Cardcollectingrambler | Posted at 10:51 am | Filed Under Cards, Cardcollectingrambler, Market Conditions
Guest post by Cardcollectingrambler from Break Open Another Box!
There are a few star pitchers this season who have performed well (evident by their low ERA’s), but due to their team situations (for the most part), their records are relatively disappointing. One of the most high-profile pitchers that is falling victim to this phenomena is Johan […]

Josh Hamilton has been on fire in ’08, batting .326 (2nd in AL), 14 HR (1st in AL) & 61 RBI (1st in MLB). After being drafted first overall by Tampa Bay back in ’99, Hamilton spent the next 7 seasons in the minors, while dealing with […]

Jeff Niemann, the Rays’ 25-year-old rookie, made his long-awaited MLB debut on Sunday against the Orioles. In 6 innings pitched, he allowed just 1 run off of 6 hits, with 1 BB & 5 K’s (the one run came off of a solo shot by Nick Markakis […]

Rick Ankiel, the Cards’ pitcher-turned-hitter, went 3-for-5 on 4/2 with his first homer of the season. Batting in the clean-up spot, between Albert Pujols & Troy Glaus, he should be allowed many opportunities to showcase his long-ball talents. His 99 Ultimate Victory RC’s value has seen major […]

The Lakers have been red hot, and Kobe Bryant’s rookie cards have been achieving value levels not seen for a few years. His 96-97 Finest RC has been inching up since the beginning of the season, averaging a TAC of $15.66 in November, $16.59 in December, $17.03 […]
Life After Gasol for the Grizzlies
By Cardcollectingrambler | Posted at 5:36 pm | Filed Under Cards, Cardcollectingrambler, NBA
Guest post by Cardcollectingrambler from Break Open Another Box!
For the past 6 years, Pau Gasol was considered the Grizzlies’ franchise player. Then, on February 1st, he was traded to the Lakers in a deal that was considered the steal of the season. I guess the team recognized the talent that they had acquired over the […]

Here are four players that I think have potential to elevate into hobby stardom. All of them are young, either playing for an up-and-coming or currently strong team, and their rookie values are relatively low.
Paul Millsap (PF, UTA, 22 y.o.) – Millsap has been slowly increasing his […]
What’s the Key to the Suns’ Awesome Offense?
By Cardcollectingrambler | Posted at 10:51 am | Filed Under Cards, Cardcollectingrambler, NBA
Guest post by Cardcollectingrambler from Break Open Another Box!
The Suns have one of best (if not THE best) offenses in the league. Their 109.4 ppg is tops in the NBA. So which player is most key to their awesome offense? Amare Stoudemire, the team’s leading scorer, averaged 18.6 ppg & 8.4 rpg with a FG% […]

Carlos Boozer, Utah’s star power forward, is averaging 25 ppg (#1 for PF in NBA), 11.5 rpg (#1 PF), 57.3 FG% (#2 PF) and has 18 double-doubles (#1 PF - #2 overall in NBA behind Dwight Howard with 20). Yet, despite his great performances (and his team’s […]
Player Focus: Rashard Lewis

Guest post by Cardcollectingrambler from Break Open Another Box!
Many people consider Dwight Howard the best “big man” in the league, and his Magic, off to a 12-3 start, are the only team thus far to beat the new-and-improved Celtics this season. I think that one big reason for Orlando’s success (other than Howard) is the […]
