Memories Of An Old Obession, Baseball Cards

As someone who collected cards pretty hardcore when I was younger and still like to buy the occasional pack or two when I'm at Target, I found this video over at AwfulAnnouncing.com. Brings back a lot of memories of standing around wasting hours upon hours in card shops opening box after box of cards. You know trying to get that Pat Listach or Cal Eldred rookie card. It's a mini movie of sorts a little under 10 minutes long about a card shop called "The Dugout" in Brooklyn, NY. Enjoy!

And I Thought The T206 Honus Wagner Was The Most Rare Baseball Card

Seen this story over at Deadspin.com, my absolute favorite sports blog. A women out in Fresno, California named Bernice Gallego (no relation to former Athletic Mike, as far as I know) may have found the first baseball card ever produced. It is a card of the 1869 Cincinnati Red Stockings. The card could be worth 6 figures, and she once had it on eBay for $10. Wow.
