If Upper Deck doesn't reveal the remaining "Double-Take" variations, I'm going to shoot this dog.

Forget about Panini World Cup stickers for a moment. We've got a bigger problem.



Even though they no longer have an MLB license, Upper Deck still won't tell us what all the Double Take variations in 2010 UD Baseball are. Sure, they've published a list of the 25 cards, but not what the specific variations are.

We've already figured out the first 14, but UD's stonewalling us on the other 11.

It's your move UD. You wouldn't want the blood of Scruffy on your hands, right?

No Junkie, THIS is the greatest music video known to man.

Classic 70s-era Electro-Pop made by three guys who look like Neil Hamburger's long lost Japanese half-brothers. Rydeen by YMO. Best ever. QED.

If you don't trade me Panini World Cup stickers, I'll shoot this dog.

I want this damn album FINISHED by the end of the World Cup! So, send me your offers NOW!!! Or else Scruffy here gets it!

What Topps considers "Red Hot"

.225 AVG, 1 HR, 2 RBI, .670 OPS after 40 ABs



If you're looking for a card of "you-know-who," you might want to seek out Red Hot/Finest Rookie #10. Because you know Topps is going to milk this baby as long as humanly possible.

Even Hitler is pissed at Topps.

Word finally got back to the bunker, and let's just say Mein Furher is not happy with Topps.

More Bowman Retail Loosey Madness!

Holy Grails: 1952 Topps and Panini World Cup stickers.

This is such sacrilege. But we did it anyway.




Warren Wolk, and his complete 1952 Topps Baseball set.

It's not everyday I do a mailday video. So when I do, it must be very special.

Topps: Rubbing More Salt in The Hobby's Wounds

As if the Topps Stephen Strasburg fuster-cluck couldn't get any worse. It was confirmed by Topps on their "Million Card Scam, errr..., Giveaway" facebook page that all 2010 Topps Baseball factory sets will have a Stephen Strasburg pseudo-rookie card and that card will be numbered 661 in the set.

Unlike the card available on the Million Card Slot Machine, errr..., Giveaway website (a grand total of 37 have been unlocked in the first 24 hours) this one will have a different photo on the front and different text on the back.

But it will still be numbered card #661 in the 2010 Topps Baseball set.

If you had known before the season that Stephen Strasburg's 2010 Topps card would be available only in factory sets, or on a glorified video poker machine, would you have built your set through packs?

Are any of you going to buy packs of 2011 Topps? Or 2012?

Video Break: 13 2010 Bowman Looseys

Editor's Note: This video was made in much simpler times. Before Topps' middle-finger to The Hobby last night, I celebrated Strasburg Day with this on-location pack break.

Topps: Go Fuck Yourself

I think I speak for most collectors, but we've been subjected to a TON of bullshit from Topps these last few years. The list of gimmicks has been well documented on this site and others and does not need repeating.

So after a 2010 where Topps appeared to have turned the corner and re-established the goodwill they've squandered with collectors, they give us this...



It's the bastardized son of eTopps and the Johan Santana fake no-hitter card. Two lousy gimmicks that suck ass together.

Congratulations Topps on completely fucking over The Hobby. Again.

In case you missed it...
