This week we have our question of the day that wonders if people actually collect sets anymore. I ask because 2010 Topps Football came out recently and its a type of product that leads to set building. The responses are read at the end of the show and a lucky fan forum member even wins a free pack of football cards. We actually opened a box of this for a contest we had at the begining on the month where over 30 fan forum members each got a pack of cards. The cards are nice – you only get 1 ‘hit’ in a hobby box, however you get Gridiron Code Give-A-Way cards where you have a chance at many Topps Cards from the past. One of our members redeemed his code for a 1950’s era Topps Football Card!! Pretty Cool! Similiar design and feel to the 2010 Topps Series 1 and Series 2 Baseball + Gridiron Code Giveaway is a nice addition to the product. Random Stuff Check out the press release over at Card Corner Club about a new place to sell cards. Its interesting – seems like they only charge you if the item sells so it might be a good option for sellers and buyers. Probably worth checking out if you a serious collector looking for more outlets to buy and sell cards. Schwab.com – If you want one of the best deals in investing – this has to be one. I even told this to a friend of mine that owns his own brokerage account (in a foreign country) and he was impressed. Basically you can sign up for a Free Checking account, which is pretty cool because you get an ATM card that they refund all ATM charges you rack up during the month – I got over $15 back last month! Google’s new priority Inbox is actually pretty cool! Its a step to make that one of the best e-mail programs available. I think its now better than Yahoo by a longer margin – but Outlook is still a great product from Microsoft … I just don’t use it. Question Of The Day: Have you ever tried to complete a ‘set’ of cards (either insert, parallel, base..ect) If you have – give us some examples – If not – why? – Listen To Show #61 Below – {play}http://norcalsportshop.podbean.com/mf/play/zqze2/ShowSixyOneB.mp3{/play} Download this episode (right click and save)
