Am I missing something…? 0000-00-00 00:00:00 I am as big a fan of Jurassic Park as the next guy but is this guy's autograph really worth $4,600? It must be cause someone just paid that ridiculous price on eBay for a very ugly card from a poorly-designed set of an extremely overrated movie. There, I said ... Read more:something
FIRE Fredi Gonzalez! 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Okay, I can understand starting future superstar Cameron Maybin in the minors. He's clearly not ready for big league pitching but now he is messin' with destiny by telling our only superstar, Hanley Ramirez not to steal bases! What kind of coach tells a back to back 50+ S.B guy ... Read more:Gonzalez
The big two have become complacent 0000-00-00 00:00:00 This is exactly what happens when your competition cannot keep up. Jose Canseco became complacent in the early 90's and Ken Griffey Jr. & Frank Thomas completely destroyed all his accomplishments in no time. Now with Fleer and Donruss out the door, the two remaining companies are putting out one ...
First photos of Juan Duran! 0000-00-00 00:00:00 I don't mean the first photos
published, I mean literally the first photos ever taken. If you don't remember, this is the 16 year-old the Reds gave $2 million to sign. So guys, take a look at the next Alex Rodriguez, minus the Steroids and Manly Woman fetish.
There is an ... Read more:First

A day I won’t soon forget… 0000-00-00 00:00:00 I always believe that in trades, it's always best to pay it forward. Once upon a time about two months ago someone sent me a stack of about 15 Jose Canseco cards and 1 Andrew Miller for free. Unfortunately, the only card I needed was the Andrew Miller but since ...
I am an idiot 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Just a few hours before the closing of the 2007 Upper Deck Sweet Spot Andrew Miller (baseball) to complete my set (bat, glove), I have been expelled from eBay by the Infamous Tatiana for a purchase I made at work yesterday. It all happened when I went surfing eBay for ...
Another day, another Miller! 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Oh man, fresh off Andrew Miller
's awesome performance against the New York Yankees I arrived at my house close to midnight only to find two packages waiting in my mailbox. The first was the Andrew Miller '07 Sweet Spot that kind of got me in some trouble a while ago. ...
New York vs. Florida 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Today we went to the Florida
Marlins vs. New York
Yankees exhibition game. It's the last two games of Spring Training for the "Fish" so we made sure to attend and wouldn't you know it, our boy Andrew Miller was pitching. The park wouldn't allow anyone in till 4 but ...
A video for my friend Gleb 0000-00-00 00:00:00 This is for my friend
Gleb, who I am currently in a heated debate with regarding Jose Canseco and Alex Rodriguez. You can read that argument here. Considering who is on the mound and who is up at the plate, it should be enough of an apology, no?
For the rest, ... Read more:video
The 31-Year Old Pack Searcher 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Man, this kills me. It really does. First of all, I rarely buy retail packs so it doesn't affect me but this is pretty pathetic. The idea of some World of Warcraft-playing 31-year old loser lurking the trading cards isle of Target waiting for new boxes really disgusts me. I ...
Donruss Crusade: The greatest insert ever? 0000-00-00 00:00:00 I remember being an 18 year-old just about to leave the hobby for a decade long break in 1998 when my friend Craig asked me if I wanted to go to the card shop one Saturday afternoon. I knew for a fact that I couldn't afford all those new high-end ... Read more:Crusade

Has Topps ruined Finest? 0000-00-00 00:00:00 I was dying for a couple of boxes of 2008 Topps Finest, so much so that I had my money saved up for an entire case before my car was stolen. Well, as it turns out...losing my car might have been the best thing because Topps has included autographs of ... Read more:ruined
Down with the Sweet Spot! 0000-00-00 00:00:00 I am the very proud owner of two Upper Deck Andrew Miller Sweet
Spot autographs. The first one cost a pretty penny (black bat barrel) and the second I got for a steal (brown glove). Unfortunately, due to a lapse of judgment I went against my wife's wishes and bought ...

Still haven’t found Vindication… 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Well, it's Monday evening and I got paid. I finally have enough money to send out those last four Heavenly Vixen cards, start some new trades, and to pick up a copy of Jose Canseco's follow-up to the smash Juiced, titled Vindicated. So far I have read 75 pages and ... Read more:Vindication
Want to own a piece of history? 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Well, now is your chance with the first ever Wax Heaven challenge! I am giving up my '08 Topps Heritage Mickey Mantle 'Authentic Stadium Seat' relic to the first person that can find 10 different Ozzie Canseco baseball cards that are not in my collection. You can see my whopping ... Read more:piece
The attack heard ’round the world 0000-00-00 00:00:00 I am no conspiracy theorist but it appears as if Alex Rodriguez has a bit of bad karma following him. You see, during a tour of Fenway Park yesterday a 13 year old girl named Alexa Rodriguez was attack
ed by a hawk who has lived in the park since 2002. ... Read more:round
The most overrated card ever? 0000-00-00 00:00:00 This baby has surfaced on eBay for a Buy It Now of $9,999 and a mandatory opening bid $4,999.
Seriously, the card is famous and Alex Gordon is off to a nice start but there is no way this thing sells for more than $3,000 tops (no pun intended). It is ... Read more:overrated
Mike Greenwell sighting! 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Former M.V.P runner-up and Boston Red Sox hero, Mike Greenwell was spotted going through a Los Angeles landfill looking for something he just won't find; Jose Canseco's 1988 M.V.P trophy. Recently Jose was asked about Greenwell's comments about baseball taking away Canseco's award and giving it to the runner-up since ...
An eBay freak event 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Last night a baseball card sold on eBay for the insane price of $2,276.06. The card was of a current New York Met and was not a SuperFractor, Autograph, Game-Used, or even low serial-numbered by 2008's standards. The card was a Jose Reyes 2001 Bowman Chrome Gold Refractor #'d to ... Read more:event
2008 Upper Deck Goudey preview 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Something about Goudey just didn't grab my attention last year. When going to my card shop I always saw the box of '07 Goudey and would constantly pick another product instead. By the time I had opened all the other products, I was stuck with Goudey and ended up pulling ... Read more:Upper
Andrew Miller, 0-1 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Well, AndrewMiller
's Florida Marlins debut didn't go quite as planned this evening as the Mets pounded him early and had him out of the game before the end of the 5th inning. The Marlins are now 1-2 for the season and I am beginning to worry. I just hope ...
Damn that Derek Jeter! 0000-00-00 00:00:00 I am just playing, of course. Seriously though, check out this card being sold on eBay. So much for continuity, huh? Of course, if I pulled this card I'd be in heaven (no pun intended). For God sakes, someone hand Jeter
a blue sharpie! If you want to see what ... Read more:Derek
The truth about baseball players 0000-00-00 00:00:00 You know, as a genuine baseball
fan and card collecting addict it pains me to see the Infamous Tatiana so bummed out about her encounter or lack thereof with Derek Jeter. There is nothing greater than busting a box and having my woman by my side enjoying every minute of ...
Look what the crazy Brits have found! 0000-00-00 00:00:00 While scouring the Net for some baseball card-related stories I stumbled upon this article. It's a long read but well worth it when you find the part about a T-209 card being discovered. I guess the "Mona Lisa of Baseball Cards" is now the official name for this specific card. ...

Troy Cameron stole my girlfriend 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Back in 1996 my life was perfect, by a 16-year old's standards. I was part of the "popular" group of kids, had a pretty blonde hair/blue eyed girlfriend, and was about to enter High School and most importantly, about to take baseball seriously for the first time in my life. ...

Love & Hate for ‘97 Bowman Chrome 0000-00-00 00:00:00 I will be the first to admit it: I was the collector on your block that had a shoe box full of oddballs, some Donruss, and a lot more Score than Upper Deck. After all, being a 9-year old collector means your collection is pretty much full of whatever your ... Read more:Chrome
The 500th post! 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Last Saturday Wax Heaven hit 100,000 unique page views. As excited as I was, I decided to keep it on the down low because I knew something even bigger was coming. This is officially, the 500th blog post since the debut of the site. Unofficially, it's more like 520 but ...
Finest Rookie Card Redemption # 1 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Topps has announced that the first Finest Rookie
Redemption is none other than Cincinnatti phenom, Johnny Cueto!
Throughout the 2008 Major League Baseball season, Topps will announce the subjects for the 10-card Rookie Redemption set. Each Master Box of Topps Finest includes one Rookie Redemption. The cards will be printed and ...
