I have been collecting baseball cards since I was a child. While the industry had a glut of cards in the 1980s, meaning the cards of my youth are worthless, I found a lot of joy in collecting.
Returning to the hobby in my midlife crisis years, I have been frustrated by a new glut of collecting series, series within series, parallel cards, relics, autos, short-prints, super-short-prints, and a variety of gimmicks that only seem to appeal to the wealthy.
So on that note, my collecting has gotten much more picky. Below are some of the things I like to collect:
Dodger Rookie Cards
Dodger Cards by Year
Laker Cards by Year (Yes, I know those aren’t baseball cards)
Yucaipa High School MLB Players
City of Santee MLB Players(Santana and West Hills High Schools)
