There comes a time in almost every hat collector's life where they begin to examine their collection and wonder ‘what's next?’ Some collectors start pursuing specific teams. Some focus on rare and hard to find gems. Some decide to take the biggest step of all: the collector’s version of making it to the big leagues.
Many of my ilk start with a design and a basic premise and go from there. I personally couldn't just make something one-off and call it a beginning. I wanted to do something that would not only represent my hometown but possibly be accessible to others.
