Who was the 1st left handed pitcher to strike out 20 batters?
check on ebay.com and then make a researchDo you think the Cubs should try to get these pitchers at the trade deadline?
You can get a lot of free information off of E-Bay.METS are the best right?! Why will or why wont the NY METS win the 2007 world series.?
Check out the magazine rack.tuff stuff and Beckett's are both great sources.You can't beat brands like Topps, Fleer, etc. Just check the series you're interested in - there are so many fancier cards nowadays - like game used jersey or autographed cards or rookie cards - that it's important to check that out when you purchase a box. Nice to know which ones you might encounter.
Have fun! You'll have a blast...again!
I've been doing it all my life. I have every season's complete set!

If Joanthan Papelbon was still a starter what would you expect his stats to be?
It's not the brands you have to pick out. It's the sets. Topps and Upper Deck have about 20 different sets they release year round. It also depends on what your looking forward (ex. if your looking for rookies - Bowman (Topps brand) is always the best.) The big companies release sets with packs that cost .99 for the minor collectors and sets with $100 packs so it depends on what exactly your looking for and how much your willing to spend.Topps or Upper Deck can be considered the best. You can check out eBay for baseball cards.
What are the possible reasons to bunt with nobody on base?
You know I was in the same boat. I collected in the late 80's and started again about 2000. There are FAR more cards in a set than you may have remembered. There are sooo many subsets that it took away some of the fun.If you have the patients and money I'd suggest skipping the new stuff and start an older set. 1969 Topps was not horribly expensive and the cards are all still available.
As far as pricing I would recommend seeing what cards are selling for on ebay. You will find that this is much more accurate than Beckett and it's free!
Whatever you do have fun!
