  1. Topps: The Card Industry Dictatorship

    By Brendan White aka SteakNchop

    [IMG]https://www.sportscardforum.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Bazooka_gum.jpg[/IMG]Far back in time, before most of us had been born, Topps was as big a power as it is today. They have been manufacturing baseball cards since 1952 and have not stopped since. Here’s their story…
    When Topps was created by the Shorin brothers back in 1938 they did not make baseball cards. All they made was bubblegum, under the name of Topps Gum. They went ...

  2. Can I Make Money in Sports Cards?

    By Brendan White aka SteakNchop

    One of the normal "newbie" sports card questions is on the simple side, but has so much to it. The question is; "Can I make money collecting?" The general consensus on this from most collectors is; "Have you gone mad? Are you serious!?!? You literally think you can make money this way!?!? Impossible!!!! It just can't be done!" Guess what? It can be. Here's how.

  4. Top 10 Best Baseball Position Players Ever

    By Brendan White aka SteakNchop
    In baseball, there is greatness and then there is greatness. A twenty year career with five hundred home runs and twenty-five hundred hits is great, but not great, great. Numbers like that may get you in the Hall of Fame, but in reality the Hall of Fame isn't for the best players ever.

  5. The Lunacy of the Numbered Card

    [SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri]The unmitigated reason vintage cards have value is their rarity. If there were ten thousand Honus Wagner T-206’s then it would be a normal and inexpensive card. The whole market for this runs on this mantra and without it would fail miserably. 1950’s Topps, 1960’s Topps, 1970’s Topps all have the same thing as the rest; cards get thrown out, not many more left.
