If you are visiting today it may be because you too have the addiction to wax. That is, an addiction to opening wax packs of baseball cards. This page is dedicated to the discussion, preview, release information, and review of new baseball card products.
Being a collector since the mid-eighties a lot has changed in the world of baseball cards over the last 25 years. Cards that once were used in the spokes of bicycles and for games of chance are now protected in heavy acrylic plastic. The hobby is no longer aimed at children and can become very cost-prohibitive. Since the late 90's manufactures have been inserting autographed and serial-numbered cards into their packs. Even more interesting is the introduction of game-used and memorabilia cards with pieces of jersey, ball, bats, gloves, and even helmets right in the card.
It is not good enough just to get your favorite player's rookie card anymore, now it has to be autographed or serial-numbered, but it is still fun to look for them. Collecting these days can be a daunting task and finding the right product can be equally as hard. Currently Topps is the only manufacturer officially licensed to produce cards for Major League Baseball.
On this page I will discuss current and upcoming products as they are released. Also I will include images cards and product breakdowns. Enjoy!
