Q: Josh Hancock, pitcher for the Arizona Cardinals, died on Sunday April 29th from a car accident... this is soooo sad, and I would love to have his baseball card as a memorabilia. I buy Upper Deck cards, but I've never gotten his. Any suggestions?
A: try ebay like the person mentioned above or u can probably stop in your local baseball card shop(if there is one where you live) and look through their common cards. since he wasn't a star, i'm guessin his rookie card is not worth more than 30 cents.
A major maker of baseball cards is being accused of playing dirty. Upper Deck could be facing hundred of millions of dollars in damages, as a result of a little-noticed California lawsuit that threatens to cripple the company. Japanese entertainment company Konami Entertainment sued Upper Deck for copyright infringement, breach of contract and trademark counterfeiting, alleging Upper Deck illegally reproduced more than 600,000 of Konami's popular Yu-Gi-Oh! cards. After more than a year of trading motions, a judge is set to rule on damages to be awarded to Konami on Jan. 26.
Senior execs from Carlsbad, Calif.-based Upper Deck did not dispute accusations that the Yu-Gi-Oh! cards, which are based on a Japanese animation show, were counterfeit. Instead, five Upper Deck execs involved in the alleged fakes -- including Chief Executive Richard McWilliams -- have resisted being deposed, citing their Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination.
Under court order, however, one exec, Stephanie Mascott, provided e-mails and other damning testimony that claimed, among other things, that she witnessed McWilliams shredding the fake cards in his office, according to court filings. The filings added that she said McWilliams instructed one distributor to "remember that you do not know where you got the card from, OK?"
...Boys will boys, and, well, men will be boys too.
Some men are even lucky enough to make a living doing work that boys would love to do.
As a kid I loved collecting baseball cards, truly a pastime for young boys, but in today’s day and age of everything has a price, the art of buying and selling baseball cards has become a big business.
There are numerous kinds of transactions that take place when it comes to buying, selling and trading baseball cards. It could be a dad selling his childhood collection to help pay for his daughter’s college education. It could be a young mom browsing for the Eric Hosmer rookie card her son really wants.
It also could be a guy out looking for a particular card of the guy he just watched hit two home runs, one from each side of the plate, in the same game. It sure was hard finding that Orlando Hudson Arizona Diamondback card that season.
Yes, I still buy baseball cards. When I go to MLB games in different parks, I usually try to find cards for the guys who did something memorable in that game.
