Super Hero Train Sets

by on August 11, 2011

Some of our readers want to know if there are any Super Hero model train sets that exist.  The truth is we had to do some research.  Most hobby stores that we checked do not have any super hero train sets for sale. So we decided to start digging.  We checked sites like Ebay and Amazon to see if any new train sets were out there and what size and scale existed.  We found only a few sellers selling some older cheesy type of batman train sets that almost looked like they were made by the person that was selling them.  So the search continued. Finally a breakthrough!

Batman-Dark-Knight-train-setBatman Train Set

The Bradford exchange offers two super hero sets which are awesome.  The batman train set is full of details and is very affordable.  The train sets sells for $85 and would make a wonder full addition to any model railroader.

Spider-Man Train Set

The Bradford exchange also has an Amazing-Spiderman train set for sale.  It is much like the Batman set and except with images of Spider-man on the train as well as a figure on top of the train.  Both train sets are HO Scale which is very important.  Both trains have amazing details and are very durable from the reviews that we have read.  We have recently heard rumors that Lionel train sets will also soon be available that would include other DC and Marvel characters. We will keep you updated.

If any of our readers have more information please email us.  Also include pictures of items that you would like displayed on our site.

Top Baseball Cards of Pitchers

by on July 2, 2011

There are many pitchers that have played the game of baseball.  Some of their baseball cards are quite valuable.  Some of these great pitchers cards are very hard to find.  All of these baseball cards make great investments if they are purchased at the right price.  One of the key things to consider when buying these baseball cards is the condition that the cards are in.  The better the condition the more the cards are worth.  Here is a list of some of the best baseball pitchers cards of all-time.

Cy Young- Some of the best Cy Young cards are from 1909-1910.  The T206 baseball cards are some of the most coveted cards in the hobby.  These cards can sell for thousands of dollar in off-grade condition.

Nolan Ryan- The value of Nolan Ryan baseball cards has changed over the years. The best Nolan Ryan rookie card is his 1968 Topps card.  This card is still reasonably priced and makes a great investment.  Many of these cards have centering problems which makes well centered cards worth even more money.

Greg Maddux- Maddux is probably the greatest pitcher of the 80’s and 90’s.  He won multiple Cy Young awards and has a few rookie cards that are worth buying.

Roger Clemens- Clemens dominated opposing hitters.  Roger Clemens rookie cards are worth purchasing at the right price.  Some of the best baseball cards that he has is his Donruss and Fleer Update rookie cards.

Tom Seaver- Seaver pitched for one of the greatest teams in baseball history.  The Reds were one of the best teams in the 70’s. One of his best baseball cards is his 1967 rookie card.  These cards are very hard to find with nice corners.  If you can find these cards in NM-MT or better condition they are well worth the money.

Sandy Koufax- The lefty hurler was one of the most dominating pitchers of the 50’s and 60’s. He helped the Dodgers win a few World Series games and was virtually un-hittable when he was on his game.
