Jose commits a fashion faux pas 0000-00-00 00:00:00 I remember looking at the back of my 1991 Upper Deck as an 11 year-old and thinking how cool Jose Canseco was for wearing a shirt underneath his team jacket that said "leave me alone". How very Bart Simpson of him! Of course, when you have a favorite player you ...
Fidel Castro is dead! 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Well, maybe not but his 1/1 cut signature from 2007 Allen & Ginter is. Someone put it up on eBay but only after defacing it (writing all over it) to make some kind of statement. Look, I live in South Florida, my wife is Cuban, and I am in no ... Read more:Castro
Nolan REALLY knows Bo 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Take a look at it. That picture right there is one of the most famous baseball photographs of all-time. It even has its own title, "Blood". If you don't know who that is, you are probably not a baseball fan. His name is Nolan Ryan, the all-time strikeout king and ... Read more:REALLY
It’s been a slow news week 0000-00-00 00:00:00 I am going to try to print out 'Heavenly Vixen' this weekend and will try to find a box of '08 Topps Moments & Milestones to bust but there aren't many shops in my area so it might be tough. Also, will be getting some birthday money very soon so ...
Dmitri: Put a fork in him! 0000-00-00 00:00:00 You know, I talk a lot of crap about Barry Bonds but its guys like Dmitri that should be banned from baseball. You can give me all these excuses about him battling depressed and being addicted to alcohol but that doesn't change the fact that he assaulted a woman all ...
Wax Heaven official poster! 0000-00-00 00:00:00 I've always loved those motivation posters plastered over every single wall at my work so I made one for the readers of Wax Heaven
. If you'd like to make your own, check out this website. All you need is a good image, a nice title, catchphrase, and a place to ...
The meaning of life by Wax Heaven 0000-00-00 00:00:00 On a lonely Wednesday morning, when the rains don't give out and the sun is nowhere to be seen we may ask ourselves, "God, what is the meaning of life?" You may not come away with an answer immediately but thanks to Wax Heaven
, you now know the meaning of ...
Cincinnati loves Dominicans, too! 0000-00-00 00:00:00 In perhaps the biggest act of desperation or extreme foresight, the Cincinnati
Reds organization gave a 16-year old Dominican player named Juan Duran a $2 million dollar signing bonus! Here is the most interesting quote from the Baseball America article;
"I've never seen a 16-year-old with this type of ability. I ...
The Wax Heaven Experiment 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Has our hobby become so obsessed with rookie and prospect cards that they would be willing to rip off a broken-hearted girl out of thousands of dollars worth in baseball cards? That is the question I have posed to the sports card collecting world by placing a phony ad on ... Read more:Experiment

Brett calls it a career 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Brett Favre retired this morning after a great 2007 season in which he threw 28 touchdown passes and made it to the playoffs. He was also voted Sportsman of the Year by Sports Illustrated. Talk about going out on top!
In a career that spanned 17 seasons and yes, a team ... Read more:Brett

Collectors are two-faced! 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Beckett Media, the world's most hated publisher of sports card-related content is giving away a master subscription on their blog and all of the sudden, people who were bitching and moaning 24/7 about their format change, lack of editorials, and everything in between are going there making guesses on how ...
Wax Heaven’s long lost diary!!! 0000-00-00 00:00:00 While rummaging through some old boxes I found a diary my mother bought me in 1991, when she confused me for a girl. C'mon, mom....men don't write in diaries. Real men blog. Well, I have gone through the trouble of scanning the three pages, plus a photo that was kept ... Read more:Heaven
Spotlight - The Dugout 0000-00-00 00:00:00 If you have ever used chat programs from AOL, MSN, or Yahoo!, you know just how ridiculous those things conversations can get sometimes. Now, imagine those crazy chats but instead of perverted weirdos on the other end, you have Jim Thome (screename: WordUpThome) and Jose Canseco (screename: YESWayJose) duking it ...

Heavenly Vixen is here!!! 0000-00-00 00:00:00 For everyone who reserved their very own Wax Heaven baseball card, they are now printed and signed. The cards will ship this Saturday, March 15th and will go out in a penny sleeve & top loader (as pictured). The print run is exactly 22, with 20 being given away to ... Read more:Heavenly

Twins owner thinks all black people… 0000-00-00 00:00:00 ...look alike. Well, at least the ones that play on his team.
In an interview given to South Florida newspaper, The Sun-Sentinel, Torii Hunter was quoted as saying, "I've only had one owner, and he called me Kirby Puckett."
You would think the guy would know Torii from his eleven seasons with ... Read more:people

Welcome to Parallel Hell! 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Consider Parallel
Hell the anti-Wax Heaven. It's a world full of player collectors trying to swim against the current of the hobby greed that bleeds out of the card companies. There was once a time when all you could find in a wax box of baseball cards was regular issue ... Read more:Welcome
Shocking eBay auction! 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Well, what do you know? With all this crazyness over Fidel Castro cards being defaced and ridiculous Andrew Miller lots on eBay, someone had to remind me that somewhere on this planet, believe it or not---Jose Canseco is still one hell of a popular player! How do I know? Well, ...
The Comeback ‘08: Part II 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Well, I finally went and started my official comeback into the world of organized baseball. As many of you might know, I was playing in a semi-pro league in 2005 when my arm gave out on me. Today, I began training with Greg Brown, a former Florida Marlins prospect and ...
Everything happens for a reason 0000-00-00 00:00:00 (thanks to Bryan for alerting me on this auction)
$2,758. That's a nice number, isn't it? That is exactly how much I got back from my income taxes this year. $700 dollars of that money would have been for a case of 2008 Topps Finest and the rest would have gone ... Read more:Everything
Want to burn $1 million dollars? 0000-00-00 00:00:00 If so, the 762nd baseball that Barry Bonds hit over the wall for a home run will be up for auction soon. It is probably his last home run since no one seems to want this Steroid freak anymore, not even San Fransisco. I don't know if anyone remembers this ... Read more:dollars

Some guys have all the luck! 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Clay "Buckachoolz" won a World Series in his very first season, threw a no-hitter in his second start, and now appears ready to be the Boston Red Sox' opening day starter after both Josh Beckett and Curt Schilling are out with injuries. So while his professional life is going great, ...
Is ANYONE happy? 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Well, it's just March and already we have seen Topps, Upper Deck, Topps Heritage, Topps Moments & Milestones, and Topps Opening Day put out baseball cards. So far, the general consensus is somewhere between a poisonous snake bite to a one-night stand with Britney Spears. At worst, the snake bite ...
Cardboard Gold 0000-00-00 00:00:00 (This is a new feature to Wax Heaven brought to you by Bryan, the Canseco King. Every week, Bryan will scour eBay, Naxcom, and other sites looking for the best baseball card currently on the market.)
With all of the 1/1 cards on the market the manufacturers have tried to put ... Read more:Cardboard

The luckiest man in the world! 0000-00-00 00:00:00 (article found by The Hamiltonian)
This is perhaps the luckiest man on the face of Earth. Gregg Forwerck has been one of the main photographers at Topps Company for 19 years and according to this ESPN article, he is responsible for more than 10,000 baseball cards released in that time. I ...
Ozzie at the plate 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Something happened yesterday that would have been perhaps the coolest experience in my life, well, maybe second coolest (Tatiana giving birth would be first). I came within 10 feet from playing in a softball game against Ozzie Canseco! I went to his game last night after missing last Wednesday's affair ...
The Babe says “NO” to school… 0000-00-00 00:00:00 ...and what the Sultan of Swat says, goes! You gotta love this classic short film of the Babe. It reminds me of my days in 4th grade when I'd be day dreaming about playing catch with Jose Canseco while English and Reading were being taught. Hmm....kind of explains some things, ...
Canseco Mail Day 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Not even 5 minutes after I revealed that I was through collecting Jose Canseco, I get a package in the mail from DayF of Cardboard Junkie completing a trade from a few months ago. It was the second and final package he sent out and to be honest, it was ...
