The Baseball Card Blog
As  a hobby, collecting baseball cards lost its innocence sometime in the '90s, when commerce trumped the joy of collecting. While we won't get maudlin about the days of ten cards and a stick of stale pink gum, the delight of sorting through cards was slowly sucked dry by $5 packs and a glut of card makers. But this engaging site might rekindle your love for the small slivers of cardboard that marked many a childhood. Ben Henry has been a baseball card collector for 17 years, and his devotion to the hobby bubbles up through this breezy blog. He's currently ranking the best sets of the '80s; we recommend starting from the bottom of his well-written, humorous thoughts. You'll flip over his recounting of the worst pack ever, or the tale of great players being victimized by bad cards. And while the quest for the most boring card ever made continues, we're sure that you'll find this site anything but. (in Baseball) |
