I just got around to skimming the “Ask John” thread in the APBA-Between the Lines forum. For those who haven’t been on in a while (like me), APBA CEO John Herson has opened up the floodgates for questions of any kind and indeed, it was a flood. There were at…
The Pittsburgh Pirates of 1960 will go down in infamy as far as any New York Yankee fan is concerned. Especially Bill Mazeroski, who of course hit the well-known homerun to win it all. But if you’re doing a replay of 1960 and have any concerns that Maz isn’t up…
For all of you who are avid APBA Football fans (and you are on Facebook), you might want to check out the Facebook page that Geoffrey Giordano has created simply called “APBA Football”. According to Geoffrey, it’s a place “where collectors and players can share their greatest moments, memories and…

“You can Do it in Your Own Home!”, it proudly states. The wording and format in this ad seems somewhat archaic perhaps. Yet at the same time, I can sense the pride that Dick Seitz had in his product. So much so that he wanted to go into detail on…
I love first column 2s. They’re such a rare treat that when they come up you kinda do a double take. Now take a look at the card above. Wow! APBA Blog reader Paul Trinkle gets credit for suggesting this week’s Monster Card Monday entry, Lawrence “Hack” Miller who has…
Congrats to Mike Fisher for his repeat championship in the Roberto Clemente Memorial Baseball Association. John Briggs sent us a quick update: Our 37th Champion was crowned a couple of weeks ago. Mike Fisher’s Albuquerque Horsemen captured their 2nd straight title. You can read the details of the playoffs at…
