This is a precarious time for APBA baseball fans. On the APBA forums, precious few have the magic information (card ratings) we all crave. There is little else we all gain from this info other than curiosity since we will all see these cards at some point soon. That doesn’t…
There’s lots of good 2008 card numbers coming out of the Between the Lines forum (well, good may be a relative term. I guess it depends on who you have on your team). if you want a sneak preview on the 2008 season cards, check out this thread. Haha,…

Happy Thanksgiving and safe travels to everyone this weekend. As for me, I’ll be traveling with my family to my mom’s tonight. Not only will we be celebrating the holiday but I’ll take a break to play an Illowa APBA League series on Friday. Hopefully, my Twin City Thunderchickens won’t…
