Playing with baseball cards on Christmas
You guys! My mom got me some baseball cards for Christmas! It’s been about 20 years since I was a kid collecting cards, but what better time than this for a little piece of childhood nostalgia? And what better place than Athletics Nation to geek out for a moment and share my new toy?
The gift was a pack of 2016 Topps, from a set called Heritage High Number Baseball. (I think it’s one of those midseason releases that updates the original set?) The cards are designed to look and feel old-timey, and I think they succeeded in that effort. There were 20 cards in the pack, and the hope was that I could find an Athletic among them.
