Well, the madness has already started! $300 (and climbing) for a card no one knows how rare it is yet. I am always fascinated (and a little jealous) of how much some of the first listings of cards from new sets go for. This one will be fun to watch.

A Reduction in eBay Sales Costs?
OK, so it's USPS that's giving us the break, but hey every little bit counts! And it's about time!
"Starting January 22, USPS will be offering free Delivery Confirmation on First Class postage purchased online, so that's one more reason to ship using eBay Labels!"
From email I just got from eBay.

Infinite Baseball Card Set
Just ran across a really cool article on ESPN about a really cool baseball card blog I had never heard of. The Infinite Baseball Card Set blogger, Gary Cieradkowski, draws his own vintage style cards of players with interesting stories. They look like vintage tobacco cards each card has a complete story with it. There are Hall of Famers, career minor leaguers and even famous fictional players. Very nice.

Weird 2012 Topps Cards
The 2012 Topps Fan Blog posted some pics of an auction on ebay claiming to be 2012 Topps Gold Rush cards. These are way different from the previews I have seen. Anyone know what these are? I sent the seller a question asking about them so we'll see what they say. Topps employee? Fake cards/photoshop trick?

2012 Topps Heritage Checklist and Preview
Although it's still over four months until it's release, the preliminary 2012 Topps Heritage checklist has been released. Most of it follows a familiar pattern. The base set is 500 cards again, and the last 75 cards will most likely be the short prints. Just like the Jackie Robinson variation set in 2011, the 2012 set will have a John F. Kennedy base variation set.
There will be 100 card chrome, refractor and black refractor sets in 2012, but there is no checklist for these yet. Following the familiar pattern, chromes will be numbered out of 1963, refractors out of 563 and black refractors out of 63.
The four main insert sets return, including the 15 card New Age Performers set and the ten card sets of Then and Now, Baseball Flashbacks and News Flashbacks.
Relic cards for 2012 Topps Heritage include Clubhouse Collection Relics and Dual Relics, Flashback Relics, '62 Mint Coin cards, The JFK Story '63 Mint cards and The JFK Story Stamp Collection set.
Autograph sets include the Real One Autographs (both blue ink and red ink which are hand numbered to 62), Real One Dual Autos, Flashback Auto's and 1963 Cut Signatures (1/1).
Autograph Relic sets for 2012 are Clubhouse Collection Auto Relics, Flashback Auto Relics and Clubhouse Collection Dual Auto Relics (two players, two relics, two autos).
Box Loaders including Ad Panels and 1963 Originals (buyback 1963 Topps cards) can be found in hobby boxes.
New to 2012 Heritage is the Topps Stick-Ons set which pays respect to the 1963 Topps stickers and a Framed Topps Stick-Ons Buyback set featuring buybacks of original 1963 stickers (found only in hobby).
I always liked the 1963 Topps design so I am really looking forward to this set. Oh yeah, it doesn't hurt that there is a Royals team card in the base set which I believe is a first for Heritage (besides one or two that appeared in the high number sets).

Topps Heritage Minor League Bryce Harper Autp
Haven't had much time to peruse eBay lately. Heck, I did not even realize Topps Heritage Minor League cards had hit the shelves yet. I happened to see a true auction for a Bryce Harper Topps Heritage minor league auto card and at the time of this writing, it's up to $455. Not too bad. Only about three hours left, will be interesting to see what it ends at.
