The Future of the Hobby
Dec 1st
By Andrew Sabbaghzadeh aka CUSEFAN
I have been an avid sport cards collector for as long as I can remember. I am a 29 year old married man with a MBA and run my own business, yet still love the hobby of card collecting. Some people consider the hobby as for kids or immature, yet I stand here and tell you there is nothing like it. With that being said, there is a very concerning trend with cards and the hobby which is disappearing and happening right before our eyes. It needs a total transformation and needs to get back into More >

2010 Panini Limited Football Product Preview

Panini will attempt to woo football fans with its first high end release on the 24th November with the launch of Panini Limited. Much like Upper Deck’s higher end releases, a box of Limited will only include a few cards, 7 to be exact. Every box will include 2 base cards, 1 legend, 1 rookie, another card numbered to 499 or less, one autograph numbered to 199 or less, one memorabilia card numbered to 199 or less and a further autograph or memorabilia card numbered to 199 or less.

Panini will take to the field again on the 1st December 2010 with the release of the 2010 Gridiron Gear Football cards.

Product Preview: 2008 Press Pass Football
Apr 22nd
Press Pass football is always one of the most anticipated early release of football cards. There are several reasons for this. First off, Press Pass shows off all the top prospects for the upcoming draft. Secondly, Press Pass always delivers a slew of on-card autographs that include the top prospects. Thirdly, it comes out just when everyone is thinking about the NFL Draft.
Projected first round picks Darren McFadden, Matt Ryan, Brian Brohm, and Rashard Mendenhall among others are all included in 2008 Press Pass both as base cards and autographs.
The only downfall to Press Pass is that as the season More >
