"A quick story about my cards, I actually didn’t know that I had a card until I was playing independent ball after being released. I was in St. Louis and had just gotten off the bus when a fan ran up to me and asked if I would mind signing. I said sure, not a problem. He handed me a card and I saw myself on it and was in complete disbelief! It was something I had always dreamed of when I was a kid and was pretty cool to see. The only downside of the card was that Topps came to take the picture during my off-day and instead of playing I was coaching 1st base.
I am not really a baseball card guy anymore, but as a kid I always loved to see the chrome or holographic Ken Griffey Jr. cards. Being that he was and still is my favorite player of all time, I loved seeing the shine and effect of the holographic Ken Griffey Jr cards.
Unfortunately I do not collect baseball cards. I know people who do and they tend to give me different versions of my personal cards but that was just something that I never got in to. Maybe one day I will have a better love of cards but for now, I am just a baseball fan."
Thanks!
