| Baseball Card of the
Week |
The Sports Card of the Week (or sports card story) is provided by our members. The Sports Card of the
Week is not selected based on cash value or rarity. Rather, it's simply a card
or story that has some sort of personal value to the person who owns it. We hope to show
you the wide variety of reasons that people collect or find certain cards
appealing. It's just our way of providing a way for collectors to share some of their
passionate for this awesome hobby.
This week's Card Story of the Week is by Greg Fisher (aka Fisherg98) from
West Henrietta, New York.
I quit buying cards in 1981 and didn't start again until my daughter became
interested in baseball in 2005. A lot changed in 24 years! We were buying a
few packs of Topps per week with a goal of collecting all the base cards. We
hadn't even figured out what insert cards were all about when we pulled this
Matt Holliday autograph card. I remember us trying to figure out if the
autograph was real or not until Tom, a guy at our local card shop told us what
it was.
We have many game used and autos now, but this one remains special.
Read more cool stories about baseball cards, football cards, basketball cards
and hockey cards in our
previous sports cards of the week.
All cards and stories were submitted by our members!
