Directing to the left of my blog. New feature!

Hey everyone. Cam here, blogging from school. Anyway, Today I received an email from Frank at SportsMemorabilia.Com , Asking me if I would place a link on my site for him. I checked the site out and really like it. They offer tons of sports items, autographed and not, for good prices. So check it out guys!

Mail Day! Clear Cut Cards Edition

Hey guys. I have been getting tons of packages in the mail, so if you have done a trade with me, I'll have a Mail Day post for you within a week.

Anyway, Jason over at Clear Cut Cards made a post a couple weeks back about his Mets team set needs for Chicle, so because I recently busted a box of that stuff, I had one of the cards he needed. So after so negotiations, I ended up sending a Jason Bay Chicle and 10 other 2010 Mets cards. In return, I got rookies of two no name Astros and, the one I wanted most.




This is a rookie of awesome fielder Edwin Maysonet. He made it up with the Astros last year to play some infield as a backup. I was extremely impressed with what I saw. Sadly, my least favorite team the Brewers picked him up in the offseason. I'm still excited to have a card of him from his days with the Astros. Thanks for the trade Jason, and if any of you would like to trade with me, email me. Thanks!

My Rays Collection

No longer collecting the Rays. Got to be a hassle.

We Have A Winner!

Hey everyone. After a couple hours of opening and sorting the cards, I found the winners of the contest!

For football, the correct answer was the Vikings. Being as no one guessed them, the prize goes to the second most cards, which was the 49ers. Don guessed that, so Don, send me your address and tell me what prize you want. Now for hockey. The winner with the most cards was the Penguins, correctly guessed by Dawgbones! Dawgbones, I have your address from our recent trade, but let me know what prize you want. Congrats to the winners!

Let me know what you think.

2011 Hartman Customs Hempfield Basketball Set #1- Drew Johnson

2011 Hartman Customs Hempfield Basketball Set- Drew Johnson

I decided to try to make some cards of my High School Basketball Team. Let me know if you would like me to try a certain player on a card. Let me know what you guys think.

Am I weird because...

Unlike most people, I like sticker autos. I like the shine. People always talk about how much they hate them, but I think they're nice. I don't know. If you guys hate them so much, I woud be more than happy to trade for them :)

Well, I'm off to a High School Basketball game. Hopefully I'll get in another post before I glue my eyes to the TV for the season premiere of Tosh.0 tonight.

Wanna Trade?

I've been in a trading slump recently. If you guys have any cool Astros stuff like Bowman Blue Borders, any GU, autos, or other numbered stuff, I'd love to trade. Also even any other non astros stuff I would be interested in, just something to get some new memorabilia into my house. Email me!

My best hit of the Year! What's yours?

Hey everyone. Cam here. My parents got me a hobby box of 2008 Upper Deck Masterpieces for Christmas, and the results were great! Ill just highlight the big hit. The pack started out like normal, with this:




But then, as I started to pass that card aside, I noticed that the game used was the next card. I also noticed it was one full card. A two card pack. The Beltran was slid aside to reveal...




The best card I've ever pulled. A Hanley Ramirez multicolor patch 20/25! I was ecstatic! This is my first patch. and the lowest numbered card I've ever pulled out of a pack. So the question is....
What's the best card you pulled in 2010? Let me know!


Cam Out.

Does anyone else keep getting offered this card?

I know Topps Million is great, but I get online to the site and have 10 offers all from different people featuring this card.

A 2001 Topps Ivan Rodriguez. Why does everyone have this card and insist on trying to trade it for 1960's vintage? It isn't going to happen. Does anyone know why everyone has this card? Tomorrow I'll post showing my Christmas loot, and it includes the best hit of my year!

Who I am

Hello Everyone! This is Cam, formerly the owner of Collectable Cards. I started this blog because of lack of viewers, and Yola, the site I used to blog, sucked. Here is a little about me.

Who I collect: I am a huge collector of Hunter Pence, Michael Bourn, JR Towles, Carlos Lee, and Nick Markakis, along with any Astros. I also have side collections of Joe Mauer, Evan Longoria, Derek Jeter, BJ Upton, and Ian Desmond. I also collect cards featuring players signing autographs in the photo, Celebrating, and players in odd places.

What I enjoy: I enjoy trading and meeting new people through blogging.

What I enjoy outside of sports: I love music. I play the guitar, and my favorite band is the Beatles. I also enjoy swimming, and playing video games.

If you want to trade, be on my blogroll, or just want to talk email me! I have tons of things for trade, hopefully I will post them later.
