MLB Cut4’s Michael Clair is a friend of mine (at least he was until I wrote this article), and he’s one of the best people I’ve ever met. He’s fun, has a genuine enthusiasm for the truly bizarre and can hold your interest on a subject just with his excitement. He loves baseball ephemera, which includes baseball cards.
Maybe some of you collected baseball cards growing up like I did, but my card collecting heyday was 1987-1992. And even then, I was really only interested in Giants cards. Although, all of my friends were A’s fans, so I remember amassing a bunch of A’s cards to trade them for whatever Giants cards they had.
