Brian Grant on baseball cards

Brian Grant pitched in the Blue Jays organization from 2002 to 2005. In 43 games he went 6-14 with a 4.72 ERA. Now the owner of Industry Supply Inc. in North Carolina, he kindly answered my questions about baseball cards.

"My favorite card of myself is probably my 2002 Upper Deck Prospect Premier. It was a great moment in time for me. I look 12 years old in the picture but that’s OK. 

My favorite card is actually gonna be a basketball card unfortunately. It’s the 80-81 Topps Larry Bird / Magic Johnson RC. Bird, Johnson, Erving on the card. 3 of the best ever on 1 rookie card. Amazing card. 

Good story would be :

My oldest brother Bob bought his home with baseball, basketball, and football cards. He actually auctioned a lot of his PSA 10 stuff on memory lane and did well. He bought an 86 Jordan sticker at a trade show here in Raleigh once for 50 bucks in the early 2000s. Sent it in to PSA and it came back a 10 along with some other 9s. He ended up selling that card for 17k to mike high about 1 year later maybe around 2002-03. Amazing what the hobby was at one point. I kind of wish it were really strong again. 

His favorite baseball card is the 63 Mantle. 

I still have some cards and will collect here and there when I get the fever but when you have a kid and a wife they kind of take the driver's seat and there isn’t much time for that stuff anymore!"

Thanks!
