    Singled Out: The Life and Legend of Glenn Burke, with author Andrew Maraniss

    Host Matt Sammon discuses the new book "Singled Out" with author Andrew Maraniss. What started as a random card pull from a 1978 Topps pack will take you down the life path of Glenn Burke, Major League Baseball's first openly gay player. Maraniss shares how Burke was shoved aside to an early career end, while we take a look at 3 players who were part of Burke's life directly or indirectly.

  2. YOU KIDS GET OFF MY YARD! The (Old) Boys of Summer and the 1990 Pacific SPBA set!

    YOU KIDS GET OFF MY YARD! The (Old) Boys of Summer and the 1990 Pacific SPBA set!

    Host Matt Sammon dives into a seldom known set about a seldom known league. In the winter of 1989-90, former Major League players brought their achy backs and creaky knees to the newly formed Senior Professional Baseball Association. The SPBA quickly developed from a zany idea, and just as quickly went away. While the 1990 SPBA Pacific baseball card set isn't much to write home about, how this league even got off the ground is.

    Host Matt Sammon dives into the bargain bin to find a gem in 1992 O-Pee-Chee Premier, a set that was overlooked then and now.

    The Best "Junk Wax" Set? We Revisit the Colorful Masterpiece 1989 Donruss!

    Host Matt Sammon looks back at what is arguably Donruss' greatest  set. The 1989 set featured big rookies, stars, and an incredible colorful design. Best of all, it's still ridiculously affordable because it was right in the middle of the "junk wax" era. Watch the pack break at https://youtu.be/nXgqAY6Xypk Follow us on Twitter @WaxAndGumStains

    Frankie Says "Relax" as we Take Another Look at 1985 Topps

    Host Matt Sammon looks at another set that the program took a first look at many years ago, and then just moved on from. Finishing a close second in our listener poll, '85 Topps is a legendary set loaded with rookies and stars, yet it often gets overshadowed by some of the more notable sets of the 1980's.

    Fattening Up with Flair in 1993!

    Host Matt Sammon looks back at the sharp and fancy 1993 Fleer Flair set, which despite its impressive design and limited press run added an unnecessary layer of product to the already bloated hobby.  Watch the pack break at https://youtu.be/59HL63ugUsI Follow us on Twitter @WaxAndGumStains Help us build WaxAndGumStains.com!
