I’m Joe Shlabotnik. I’ve been collecting since 1974, and since I’ve never had a proper purge in all that time, I’ve got way too much stuff.
The purpose of this blog is to keep me focused on the task of organizing, focusing and purging my collection, and sharing all the cool stuff I discover/rediscover along the way.
My teams are the Mets, Orioles and Steelers, but I also love attending minor league and college baseball games. At various points in the past, I’ve been a fan of various NHL teams, NASCAR racing and minor league soccer.
Check out Joe Shlabotnik’s Cards! (My COMC store)… Any profits are used to enhance the world-famous Shlabotnik collection. In other words, nobody’s getting rich here. Well, OK, maybe the COMC guys are getting rich, but I’m not.
Hey there Joe,
Didn’t have your e-mail address handy, so I thought I’d hit you up here. I’m holding a jumbo case break of next year’s Topps S1 and I still have the Orioles slot available. The case break also contains a raffle for a chance to win an entire jumbo box of ’13 Topps S1. You get a free raffle slot with each team slot you secure. If you’re interested, you can hit me up at crackinwax [at] varsitytradingcards [dot] com. Thanks, sir!
