Jeff's Baseball Card Collection Blog

I’ve added 200+ new scans today from Topps 1974, 1975, and 1978. Enjoy!

I finally broke down and started a twitter account for the collection. Follow JeffsCards to keep on top of the latest updates and to see the “Featured Card of the Moment”.

There’s been a flurry of activity over the past day. I have uploaded another 100+ card images, added the missing year images for the “Browse by Year” page and grabbed a few more logos for the “Browse by Team” page.

As Dr. Steve Brule would way “Check it out!”.

Made some more updates over the last couple of weeks. I’ve added 247 new records and 100 images for 50 cards. Not quite a substantial update but it will have to do for now. I’ve got a large stack of cards sitting on my desk waiting to be scanned so that will be my next project….it’s my favorite part

It’s been a long time but I’ve added 194 new records. Mostly older 1970′s Topps with a little bit of 80′s mixed in. More records and new scans to come soon!

I’ve uploaded around 210 images for 105 cards today. Every card should have an image for the time being.

1970 Topps Card Featuring Hank Aaron.

Today I have added some 210 records and almost all of the images for each corresponding card, the rest will be finished whenever I get around to doing it. This update is a little special since I have added all my “valuable” cards. Most of what I have is common cards that are not worth much more than the cardboard they are printed on but a few of them might actually be worth a little something. Some of the highlights include Hank Aaron and Nolan Ryan. I don’t really do this for the money but hey, it’s kinda nice to have something that might have a little valuable. The card I have featured to the right is one of the Hank Aaron cards in my collection,I like it because they seem to have caught him off guard and he has a confused look on his face.

All those images I promised a couple days ago have been scanned and are in the process of being uploaded. At the moment all records should have pictures to go along with it so if you find one that doesn’t hit the report error link and I will fix it!

After a couple of weeks away from home unable to enter or scan I have returned with 216 new records. There are some interesting card in this latest addition including some Tristar Projections cards from 2008 that consists of Minor Leaguers that they expect to be the stars of tomorrow. Whether or not that happens or if these fellas are even playing anymore is yet to be seen but an interesting set none the less. Scans will be coming over the next few days.

Holy crap what a nightmare! I haven’t been at home much lately so I decided to give the mobile side a little TLC. After a few new page additions I discovered that my mobile site was riddled with errors and broken links. How did this happen you ask? Well i through the mobile site together rather hastily and that led to inconsistencies in my coding (not that it’s full of inconsistencies anyway).

At this point I think I’ve gotten most, if not all, of the bugs worked out as well as adding a few things. Sets, duplicates, and the blog are now available for viewing on the mobile side and there has been an update to the color scheme to make it look a little less bad. Card images will also load on the card view screen bringing the crappiness down another notch. Finally, iphones are no longer redirected to the mobile site. After a site review with an iphone that does not belong to me I made the determination that I don’t need to limit the iphone and it has plenty of graphic power to display the relatively simple main site.

All in all I feel good about the changes, but as always let me know if something is wonky!

Just in case you were not aware there was a mobile site point your mobile device’s web browser to http://baseballcards.shawnajeff.com or http://m.baseballcards.shawnajeff.com for non-mobile devices (although I don’t know why you would want to do this!).

NEXT DAY UPDATE: I have added a new contact page on the mobile side as well as updating the links to be actual mobile links. If you have a link you’d like to exchange, either regular or mobile, let me know!
