More news about baseball cards

The Sports Card of the Week (or sports card story) is provided by our members. The Sports Card of the Week is not selected based on cash value or rarity. Rather, it's simply a card or story that has some sort of personal value to the person who owns it. We hope to show you the wide variety of reasons that people collect or find certain cards appealing. It's just our way of providing a way for collectors to share some of their passionate for this awesome hobby.

This week's Card Story of the Week is by Mike Guilfoyle (aka BA Benny) from Bellerose, New York:

My card story is about a printing plate frame I pulled. I was going to pick up my son from his high school football practice and saw that I was early so I stopped by a card shop by his school to pick up a box of 08 Topps series 2 to complete my set. The shop had none so I took his last 2007 heritage box. I am not a huge Heritage collector but liked the idea of 3 hits per box. I parked by the school and waited for my son and decided to open the box. Started out nice with A-Rod box topper oversized card. (I am a Mets fan but like the Yankees also) Now into the packs I go. Nice cards coming, some Mets, Yankees and Stars that I collect then the first hit, A Steven Pearce auto, my second one of him from 07 Heritage. Then the next hit, A Jose Reyes jersey card. I am real happy now, get a hit from my favorite team. Then the third hit comes and it is a Tim Hudson jersey card, another good player to add to my collection. Now I go to finish the last 4 or 5 packs very happy already when to my surprise an extra hit. This must be my lucky day. As I revealed the card I noticed a very different feel to it. Look at that, a yellow bordered printing plate of #241 Ryan Sweeney. My first 1 of 1 and first plate. As far as collecting goes, I like the Game Used, Auto, SN'd cards the most so to pull a plate was a real thrill for me.
