The introduction of the Hobby Rainbow 0000-00-00 00:00:00 For as long as I can remember, parallels have been a dreaded part of our hobby. For one, I never understood their purpose. I mean, it's basically the same photo with a little extra gold or silver foil. Big freakin' deal, right? Well, all that changed in 1996 when Score ... Read more:Hobby

Maybe I’m not such an idiot? 0000-00-00 00:00:00 The other night I was so ecstatic after another Florida Marlins win that I decided to start collecting the Fish. I pulled out my only remaining trade bait, a 2008 Moments & Milestones Clay Buchholz autograph and asked the readers of Wax Heaven to make me their best offer. Within ... Read more:Maybe
Mike Jacobs is about to blow up!!! 0000-00-00 00:00:00 A few months ago you could have bought 10 Mike Jacobs
autographs and game-used for pennies on the dollar. After all, by 27 it was fair to say that Jacobs, drafted by New York way back in 1999 had not accomplished much in three seasons in the bigs. His power ...
Where is she? 0000-00-00 00:00:00 It's been a good 6 months since I first laid eyes on you, my darling "F.B.R". I know I shouldn't obsess over you the way I have been but it's hard not to. I go online every single day and night hoping to see your beautiful, black shinny face on ...
Wax Heaven in the Boston Herald! 0000-00-00 00:00:00 After a somewhat challenging evening, I fell asleep on the sofa watching the Braves lose to my Florida Marlins. At around 2:30 in the A.M I woke up from the cold and walked over to my bed to pass out. Unfortunately, being somewhat addicted to the Baseball Card online community, ... Read more:Heaven

Mutant Freak of the Day 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Previous Mutant
s: Ghost Rider
Thanos is one of the coolest-looking comic book characters of all-time in my opinion. The Marvel Masterpiece card from the set that I purchased doesn't do him any justice, though. It almost looks like he just ripped a big one. For me, I fell in love with ... Read more:Freak
Anonymous Astros Fan strikes again! 0000-00-00 00:00:00 A.A.F has a short but storied history with Wax Heaven. Out of the blue one night he decided to send me out a couple of cards that pretty much took my Andrew Miller collection from average to one of the best. A few weeks later he made a bet with ...

The biggest bargain in the hobby 0000-00-00 00:00:00 I may talk a lot of trash about Alex Rodriguez but I know a good ball player when I see one. Today, despite new allegations from Mr. Steroid himself, Jose Canseco, there is still little proof to show that Alex ever cheated to get where he is in baseball. Last ...
Yunel Escobar stalks pre-teen girls 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Yunel Escobar is officially on my "hit" list. It's not like the guy is Mark McGwire or Barry Bonds but in the 5th inning of tonight's game vs. the Marlins he hit a home run off Mark Hendrikson and proceded to: flip the bat, pose, and then point into the ...
Mutant Freak of the Day 0000-00-00 00:00:00 This evening I walked over to a sub shop for lunch but was distracted by a used book store on the way. Instead of spending $10 on a tiny sub I went inside to see what kind of goodies I could find. Of course, I found no baseball cards or ... Read more:Mutant

E:60 is a joke 0000-00-00 00:00:00 I already have issues with ESPN (Sportscenter=worst show ever) but this 60 Minutes rip-off show is a joke. If Miguel Tejada is eventually proven to be a cheater that is one thing but to have him come on camera and then be bombarded the way he was is absolutely shameless. ...

s: Ghost Rider, Thanos
See, this is one of the few Marvel Masterpieces I don't like. It's just way too over the top for me, especially the whole "Rainbow in Space" theme going on. I won't lie, unlike Thanos and Ghost Rider I don't know Jack about Thor except that ... Read more:Freak
The card every Canseco fan was ashamed of 0000-00-00 00:00:00 I can remember back like it was yesterday. The year was 1991, March 7th and my little league game had just ended. I was a bench warmer playing for the Florida Tigers when I was put into the line-up in the 9th inning, perhaps out of pity since it was ... Read more:every
Is Dan Uggla’s career in jeopardy? 0000-00-00 00:00:00 I can understand why big super stars like Albert Pujols & Alex Rodriguez might not be the friendliest guys on the planet to the media. I mean, they are written badly about each time they have a slump, don't come through in the clutch, or just aren't in the best ...

So on this night no love from the Marlins, lots from the visiting team.
Florida Marlins vs. Washington Nationals 0000-00-00 00:00:00 We attended the second game of this three game series and ended up having a great time despite not having our favorite seats. So, the Marlins
won, Dan Uggla busted out of his slump, Mike Jacobs continued to tear through the ball, and afterwards we got to hang out with ... Read more:Florida

$300 for a Jose Canseco autograph? 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Wow, and here I thought Jose was hated among many of today's collectors. It's clear that Jose Canseco is as popular today as he was in the late 80's and early 90's, maybe even more so! This card is a 2004 Topps and features another player who I can't make ...

See, this is exactly why Marvel Masterpieces made such an impact on me as a 12-year old. Throughout my short time as a comic fan I was made to believe that the Incredible Hulk was some big dummy with muscles. In the cartoons and even ... Read more:Freak

has just been released by the Toronto Blue Jays! Thomas, who had gotten off to a terrible start had been benched and was not happy about it. The very next day after talking to the media, ...

Just how much do you know about sports cards? Well, click here to take the test! I scored a pathetic 8/20 for a 40% score. I have a feeling Chris Harris of Stale Gum, Steve of White Sox Cards, and Dayf of ... Read more:Trading
Wax Heaven 2.0 0000-00-00 00:00:00 You may have noticed some subtle changes at Wax Heaven
, specifically the removal of some of the main links at the top of the page (Wax TV, Heavenly Collections, etc.). Fear not, there will still be product reviews and video box breaks but that is no longer going to be ...
The Wax Heaven contest is over (results) 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Last month I got the itch to trade away my 2008 Topps Heritage "Authentic Stadium Seat" Mickey Mantle and offered it to the person that could get me the most Ozzie Canseco baseball cards that I don't already own. I received a couple of emails and even a few offers ... Read more:Heaven

Anyone think Spectrum is worth $150? 0000-00-00 00:00:00 I haven't busted any wax in over a month (since M & M) and today we went to our "card shop" only to find that 2008 Upper Deck Spectrum
was selling at just under $150. When we called our only other shop in the area (about an hour away), they ... Read more:Anyone

My “white whale” has surfaced… 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Last week I wrote about my "white whale" of collecting, as far as my Andrew Miller collection goes. For months I have been trying to purchase a 2007 Topps Finest Black Refractor Autograph #'d to 99 with absolutely no luck. It's hard to imagine the card not being found considering ...
Join the ‘Bring Back Stadium Club’ movement! 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Ryan, from Trader Crack's has started a campaign to bring back great photography into baseball cards. He is hoping that Topps Company will ressurect Stadium
Club from the dead. If you recall, Stadium Club was well-known for it's amazing photography but as the game-used and autographs per pack phenomenom took ... Read more:movement
6 Degrees of a baseball card blog 0000-00-00 00:00:00 I feel really guilty. You see, when I first began blogging about baseball
cards there was maybe 10-15 card blogs, tops. I use to check each one every single day and left comments each time I had something to add. Today, if you check the Sports Card Directory, there are ... Read more:Degrees

$50 for an eBay reprint? 0000-00-00 00:00:00 I absolutely love the underdog. While most people today are filling up their collection with Derek Jeter, Albert Pujols, and Ichiro Suzuki, I am doing everything I can to get my hands on another Andrew Miller or Ozzie Canseco baseball card. As a kid, Nolan Ryan was one of my ...
The #1 Draft Pick 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Can you imagine what it's like to be chosen the #1 overall draft pick in baseball? I sure as hell cannot. I imagine it feels something like being chosen first for dodge ball in 6th grade phys-ed, multiplied by 1,000. Here is a look back at every #1 draft pick ... Read more:Draft
