I collected baseball cards from the late '80s through 2002. Then I went to college and when I came out, I was lost. There were too many brands, sets, choices, relics, autos, parallels, variations. It was a turn off. However, I slowly made my way back. So here is my attempt to venture back into the hobby. I'll buy a few packs of cards here and there, comment on some cards I have, send out some TTMs, and follow the progress of my Topps Yankees Project.

TTM Success: Al Rosen
I've wanted to pick up an Al Rosen auto for a while, as he was a hell of a player and is probably on par with Bobby Doerr in terms of the greatest TTM signers of all-time. I picked up this 1956 Topps for a few bucks on eBay and sent it along, and in a week Mr. Rosen sent it back signed and personalized. I also included a 1979 Yankees team card, as he worked in the front office for them at that point. He graciously signed that as well.
