Time for a break
The All-Star break is just hours away, the Mets are sitting in Wild Card position (well, tied for the second one at least), and the hobby is in full swing with new product releases almost every week. It’s a good time to be collecting, until you see the credit card bill (Yikes!). With so much out there to cover, I’m off on a trip and I’ll be back in a couple of weeks. Don’t worry, I haven’t forgotten about the Museum Collection review, the text has been done for over a month…

Gary Carter is a special case in the hobby, one that I expect we’ll see more of as time robs us of our heroes one by one. Carter has the unfortunate honor of being the first major hobby fixture to die in the era of widespread autograph and memorabilia cards. Since 1999, Carter’s autograph has been found on countless thousands of baseball cards. His last on-card autographs were released last year, but he continues to have sticker autograph cards released, the most recent being in Museum Collection, Archives, and Topps Series 2. It’s anyone’s guess how many sticker autographs Topps has stockpiled and I’m sure Topps isn’t going to reveal that information. There is no precedent here, but Carter’s condition was known for long enough to allow Topps to load up on autographs, possibly by the thousand. We’ll just have to wait and see how Topps handles this going forward; this could set a precedent for how recently-deceased player autographs are treated.

Value the particular democratic tactic but the conclusive solution should be open sooner or later. Nevertheless several essential stepping blocks had been established directly into location.
Aside from Wright getting beaten out for the starting role by San Francisco’s ballot stuffing efforts, the Mets did well with their All-Star selections. Wright is back in top form and Dickey has been dominating, so those were a given. Santana would have been nice to see, but there are a lot of deserving pitchers in the NL that didn’t make the cut and he is kind of rehabbing from major shoulder surgery. On the Ex-Met front, Carlos Beltran managed to hold on to his starting spot while Chris Capuano joins Santana on list of not quite All-Stars. The AL is once more devoid of former Mets. Three current/former Mets is the norm for the All-Star Game, but having first-timer Dickey on the list is what makes this year special. This should guarantee that Dickey gets a jersey card this year, though his pinstriped pants are also in the mix. If you don’t want to wait for some game-used Dickey jersey, you can buy your own Dickey All-Star jersey and have people behind you wondering why there’s Dickey on your back. Shop via the link given here and you’ll be helping out another Mets blog (I, um, forgot about this when I ordered mine, then I found out that the link doesn’t load in my browser…). Speaking of Dickey…

I’m surprised nobody called me on the omission of Dickey’s Team USA autograph card in the Player Spotlight I did for him. Back then, that card was impossible to find, but now it’s insanely overpriced ($150 seems to be the going price on eBay). While having his first certified autograph card would be nice, now is not the time to buy. Phil Humber’s perfect game conveniently spurred sales on eBay by people hoping to cash in but couldn’t overcome the reality that he’s Phil Humber, which was enough for his performance and card prices to tank. Dickey is no Humber, but prices should settle down a bit once the novelty of a 37 year old knuckleballer having the breakout pitching performance of the season wears off. It could happen, right? Eh, I think I’ll wait for a certified autograph card with Dickey in a Mets uniform.

hi i was wondering if you where willing to sell the josh edgin red wave card
Unless specifically noted, cards shown on this site are not available for sale or trade. If you wanted one of those cards, you should have gotten one when several were available for less than $10. Timing is everything.
