The PC That Changed Me
May 24th
By Alan Chen aka RiceBondsMntna2Rice
Martin St. Louis’ selection as a Hart Trophy finalist a few weeks ago and his electric performance in the playoffs so far make it as good a time as any to share with you the current state of my St. Louis PC and the journey I’ve taken to get here.
Collecting #26 has been a transformative experience that’s forced to me re-examine who I am as a collector. Surprisingly, this project has at times been a source of stress rather than an escape. For the first time in my collecting life, I’ve felt a nagging pressure to More >
A Big Business
May 7th
By Karine Hains
Collecting used to be a hobby, it used to be all about fun but lately it just seems like it is a big business which is solely about the money. Personally, I collect two players Patrick Roy and Martin Brodeur. For the hockey fans amongst you, you are very well aware of who these guys are for other sports fans well, let’s just say that these two guys are number 1 and number 2 in total career wins in the NHL. Yup, they are the best of the best there is no doubt. With the star status normally More >
This Moment Changed the Way I See Card Collecting
May 4th
By Wayne Rogers aka redskinfanva
When I was a kid in elementary school we would walk to school every day. Riding a bus was uncommon back then. There was a 7-eleven close to our school so myself and usually 2 of my buddies would walk there before and after class just about every day. My buddies went to buy gum and sell it when they got to school. I used my money to purchase Topps football cards because I liked football and as a bonus I got that nice tasty powdered brick-like gum. Once you got the gum to soften up More >

I decided to write about an event that changed the way I look at sports. I grew up in a small town about 15 miles east of South Bend, IN called Elkhart. My late father raised me to do 1 of 2 things: Play football for Notre Dame or play basketball for Notre Dame. There were no other options good enough for my dad. Being from Indiana and having a father that loved sports, I was taught at a very early age how to throw the perfect spiral and shoot the perfect jump shot. It turned More >
Will They or Won’t They?
May 3rd
By Brett Johnson aka Chargerfan46
I have been an NFL junky all of my life and this is the worst possible thing to happen all the way around. Unfortunately the true underlying motive is GREED! Both sides are guilty of this. The players want a bigger piece of the pie while the owners want to keep it. My take from both sides is as follows:
The players do not want to play an 18 game season and I do not blame them for that. The wear and tear on their bodies is great enough without adding two more games. I would be More >
If I Were King of Sports Card Forum…
May 2nd
By Kevin Ransom aka Spoodini
I believe that many people are often afraid to answer these tough questions on what they would do if they were in charge of www.sportscardforum.com and would shy away from them. I, on the other hand, am not afraid because I know first-hand how the staff members on Sports Card Forum work and believe that my opinions may speak for others on the website. I would like to start by saying that if you agree or disagree with these opinions, please let that be known by posting in the comments section of this blog or on the More >
