Welcome
Sometime in the 1980's, a village store owner in a rural Ontario town, decided to sell baseball cards. Long story short, it resulted in the creation of this website.
Where it all began...
It was the summer of 1987 that the owners of this site first spent allowance, chore money and any loose change at ‘Cortina’s’, on the iconic wood grained 1987 Topps cards of that season.
The rest is history, that over time, will be archived on The Flash/Frost Card Board (FFCB).

Brett was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1999, with what was then the fourth-highest voting percentage in baseball history (98.2%), trailing only Tom Seaver, Nolan Ryan, and Ty Cobb. In 2007, Cal Ripken Jr. passed Brett with 98.5% of the vote. His voting percentage was higher than all-time outfielders Babe Ruth, Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, Stan Musial, Ted Williams, and Joe DiMaggio.
