The "legend" was that (former) Rockies exec Jerry McMorris took Hampton to dinner and wrote on a napkin: "To: Mike Hampton. Years: ______ Amount: __________". I'd shun just about anybody if some gonad with money presented that to me. |

I'd sell my own mother into slavery for that napkin, except put my name where Mike Hampton's name is. |

MLB Network is running a special, tonight, about Topps baseball cards. I hope it focuses on the connection between baseball and Topps and how they help to chronicle the game. Rather than the dealer/money side of things. I'm sure there will at least be a mention of the dealer market, but if it that "Guy Who Has Appeared on Good Morning America" shows up, my foot's going into the TV screen. I can't recall his name, but his mugshot used to be all those shitty mail-order lists in the early 90's. "Mr. Mint" or some other ridiculous nickname. |

Personally, I couldn't care less about the financial/worth of cards. I just love collecting them because they're like gateways into the past. When I pull out my Yankees binder, I can turn to any page, find any player, or "season highlight" and go on and on about it to whoever I'm talking to. I don't think I've ever enjoyed telling stories or moments more than baseball stories. I can do that with all 30 teams, granted not as much so as the Yanks. |

The whole speculators' market and the "value/worth" of baseball cards is really a black eye on them. I agree- they're simply great snapshots of the season. I mean, what Yankee fan wouldn't want a Stump Merrill card from 1990?! :) |

I know! Manager card for the Yankees from the 80's through early 90's was like finding the missing link between man and ape. |
