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.

Jersey card of Phil Hughes right as he leaves
Right as he leaves NY and heads to Minnesota, a jersey card of Phil Hughes that I won on Listia arrived. Hughes was frustrating, but I always had a soft spot for him. It was probably because he was homegrown.
When Hughes made his much anticipated ML debut, I was there. I can effectively say that I saw many of his highs and lows as a Yankee in person. I've accumulated quite a bit of Hughes cards over the last few years, and there will always be a place in my collection for Yankees card of his.
Best of luck, Philbert. Hope you put it together in Minny.

Hughes a frustrating pitcher? Sounds perfect for Minnesota! Maybe he'll be the next Carl Pavano!
