This website showcases my love for baseball and collecting. Great to have a change to show some of my collection and share stories associated.
I was given a pack of baseball cards as a student helper after helping clean my elementary school lunchroom back in 1982. That was my first pack of Topps Baseball Cards.
As I grew older, being in Orlando, FL, it allowed for easy access to Major League Baseball teams in Grapefruit League Spring Training, and the easiest autograph collecting one can imagine.
This site shows my efforts for busting packs and hunting 'graphs.
Topps is tops. Most of my collection is from Topps products over the years. I also collected in some Upper Deck, Donruss and Fleer, but the majority of my cards are Topps.
Baseballs, unless otherwise specified, are official Rawlings Major League baseballs... not the practice or recreational league plastic coated balls many people use when chasing autographs.
How many cards? Boxes and boxes and boxes and boxes....
sorting can be a pain in the neck, and lower back.
Not really! Baseball is king. I also have some cards and autographs from other sports as well as non-sports memorabilia and collectibles, but nothing like my collection of The National Pastime.
From the countdown to the debut, MLB Network is the best of TV.
There is a set from 2008 or 2009 from Topps that was for the Debut of the network. It has been elusive and only saw one once.

In April 2023, I was fortunate to participate in the annual Topps NOW Platinum Member forum in NYC. I make a workcation out of it and worked from my company's office on Park Ave during the day and spent evenings with my wife touring town. Near the end of the trip, I spoke to one of the other Platinum members with a great connection to MLB [as courtesy withholding his name] and provided me a tour of the MLB Offices.
It was an absolute dream. I was able to visit each floor, see the offices where graphics, video and content are created, visited the broadcast studio, saw the trophies and even got to see the Replay Review Room.
It's amazing to see the army that it takes to run the website, the online store, the auctions, the authentications, MLB Network and all parts of game-day operations in each team's city. But to see the nerve center of MLB was truly remarkable.
Enjoy some photos from my visit, and if you can't get a tour of the office, at least be sure to visit the huge Flagship MLB NYC Store on the ground floor of the building.
