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: Preston Claiborne
Yankees reliever Preston Claiborne kept my nice run of TTM successes alive by returning my 2013 Topps Update card with a great-looking signature. I don't have many horizontal cards signed, so this was a nice chance. The signature looks great and really pops against all the the light colors in the card.
Claiborne had a nice season in 'pen last year, and I look for him to be a key cog in the Yanks' bullpen again this year. Young relievers are very valuable, and while the Yanks are constantly getting knocked for not developing players, they've had a lot of success developing young bullpen arms.
