Badwax.net: Mike, the writer of Badwax has been collecting cards since he was 7 years old (1978). What drew him into the world of card collecting was the 1978 Burger King cards of Yankee players. Ever since getting a 1978 Thurmon Munson card, he has been hooked, but mainly it’s been bad pack after bad pack of cards, more specifically what he likes to call Bad Wax. Badwax.net is a blog dedicated to reviewing bad packs of cards, one pack at a time. Currently Mike is doing an Operation Topps campaign, where he is opening up boxes and boxes of bad wax in order to build sets for every year of Topps since 1986. So far it’s been maddening, but oddly fun.

Bad Hits: A second blog that Mike has been running is Badhits. Although this first started out as random bad inserts he has gotten over the years, it has transformed itself into a who’s who of cheap game used and autograph cards. His mantra is that he won’t pay more than $2 for any one card. So far it’s been a mixture of today’s and yesterday’s stars, the site is dedicated to reviewing each and everyone of them. One card per day.
