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: Yanks prospect Kevin Russo
I sent this request out back on February 22 to Spring Training, and I got it back this past Friday...just under seven months later! Russo appeared in a bunch of games in 2010 for the Yanks, mostly as a defensive replacement. He didn't find himself in the Bronx at all this year and spent his third straight season in AAA. I always liked him and wish he was able to stick, but at age 27 and with younger players with more upside around him, he may be destined for the minors again next year.
Every year I usually get one or two cards back around this time - I think some guys wait until the end of the season to clean out their lockers & then decide to do fan mail.
