Heavenly Collections - Jason Giambi 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Jason was an avid baseball card collector as a kid. He loved everything about it until one day he realized that his love for cardboard had abandoned him. In 1991, Jason gave up on collecting, or so he thought. Like most collectors, he gave the hobby another shot many years ... Read more:Heavenly

The Comeback ‘08: Part III 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Date: 3-15-08
Attendance: Coach Greg Brown, Mario Alejandro, Tatiana
So I have come to the conclusion that there is no way I can do this without proper conditioning. The first session ended early when I could barely breathe, and deja vu---the second one today ended early as well when the pain in ...
Hit the road Jose! 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Breaking news!
I am taking a break from collecting Jose Canseco!
That's right, taking some time off. To be honest, I just didn't feel the passion anymore. Wax Heaven's budget is for wax boxes to review and do videos, and occasionally for picking up Andrew Miller cards off eBay. Lately, I have ...
Phil, Pat, & Curt in a blog deathmatch! 0000-00-00 00:00:00 If I had ever made it to the "show" I know for a fact that I would not have time for a blog. I'd probably would have followed in the footsteps of my idol growing up, Jose Canseco. I would have driven fast cars, dated faster women, and had paparazzi ...
The “Slump Buster” 0000-00-00 00:00:00 There was an urban myth back in the 90's about Mark Grace. The legend went that whenever Cubs First Baseman Mark Grace would go into a hitting slump he would find the ugliest baseball groupie and have sex with her. After the dirty deed, Mark would go back to playing ... Read more:Slump

MLBPA pretends to care about Bonds 0000-00-00 00:00:00 This is perhaps the most infuriating news I have read all day. The Major League Baseball Player's Association is upset that Barry Bonds
, a steroid monster who tarnished the all-time home run record, is still unemployed with less than two weeks before the start of the 2008 season. The numbers ...
‘52 Topps Mickey Mantle STOLEN! 0000-00-00 00:00:00 A sports card shop in Florida was broken into early Monday morning when a thief threw a brick into the window, walked in and took one of the greatest cards of all-time, a 1952 Topps MickeyMantle
. There is currently three on eBay, with this one going for $49,000.
It's a ...
Madison Bumgarner Day (3-18-08) 0000-00-00 00:00:00 One of the things I love about Wordpress is being able to read the daily stats. For example, how many hits per day, what posts are more popular than others, and best of all, Google search results are all readily available to me in my dashboard. For example, did you ...

Wax Heaven readers are #1 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Last week after busting a blaster box of '08 Upper Deck I asked if anyone had a Starquest Derek Jeter and was offered several different versions.

MLB A Piece of History preview 0000-00-00 00:00:00 I have never heard of this product but looking at the previews and product details, it looks like a rich man's Upper Deck Spectrum. That being said, if it sells for less than $80 per hobby box, I want one! I am not thrilled with the Hollywood memorabilia (what is ... Read more:History

The end of an era 0000-00-00 00:00:00 We regret to announce the untimely death of Fleer, L.L.C., who on the 19th of March was put out of its misery by a giant corporation who chose to release Spectrum series 6 instead of continuing the Fleer line. The deceased was reported to have shouted "It's better to burn ...
Talkin’ Softball 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Expectation can make or break a man's heart. I went to Ozzie's game Wednesday night hoping to chat with Ozzie a bit, watch a fun but competitive game of softball, and to have a great night out with Tatiana. Instead what I got was the first meeting of myself and ... Read more:Softball
Hangin’ with Jose! 0000-00-00 00:00:00 This Wednesday after an incredibly boring day at work I rushed home hoping to catch Ozzie Canseco's softball game. Last week I almost got to play on the opposing team but that idea was killed by the umpire. This time I was ready for anything. I brought my bat, batting ... Read more:Hangin

Beware of eBay scammer “hockeynutzz” 0000-00-00 00:00:00 I don't go anywhere near eBay. Last time I did I ended up spending more than what the Pay Pal balance was and Tatiana's bank account ended up in the red. It was a fun week sleeping on the sofa, let me tell you. Well, since locking me out of ... Read more:Beware
Easter Pack Openings! 0000-00-00 00:00:00 I don't really celebrate but it's always nice to bust wax any day of the year. I received a blaster of '08 Upper Deck w/the guaranteed hit, the Target $9.99 two packs plus a game-used, and 4 packs of Hidden Treasures, which was full of nothing but hidden garbage. All ...

Mario is having the Best Week Ever! 0000-00-00 00:00:00 What a crazy seven days it has been. Minutes after giving up my 18-year Jose Canseco collection, I get a package in the mail completing an ancient trade with tons of Jose Canseco cards. After going through them all I discover that I am just 11 short of 1,000 different ... Read more:Mario
The Baseball Card Blog Directory 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Over the last five months it seems almost everyone on the Internet is starting their own baseball card blog. As great as that is, I have come to realize that it is very easy to lose track of new blogs that way. I have my top 7 favorite blogs on ... Read more:Directory

He wrote a piece about the contents of the book and it's quickly become huge news around the sports ... Read more:movement

I feel REALLY guilty 0000-00-00 00:00:00 So as it turns out, I really didn't have to break into my wife's eBay account because after I got home from work there were 3 different eBay packages for me that Tatiana had purchased and not even told me about.
