I'm going to save the baseball card industry and here's how I'm going to do it.

Why Should a kid start collecting 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 sports card of the week is provided by J. Miller (aka Jx2reds) from, Madison IN:

Ive been into the baseball and the hobby since 1986. Living just a few hours outside of Cincinnati I heard all the storys of the great Big Red Machine. So it just seemed to be that I became a Reds fan. In 2006 I had a son, and this year he begins his first year of tee ball. Since then he's taken some intrest into the hobby as well, but at 4 years old it doesnt hold his attention past a hour or so yet. I had him help and we sent several cards to Cincinnati a few months back trying for some autographs. Ive done this over the years, but hadnt in a few. I knew he'd forget about it before if we got one back. Last week we got our first one back. It was personalized to by son by Micah Ownings. Ive obtained about 50 TTM autographs and this makes the first personalized Ive seen. Its even sweeter in eyes that he signed it to my son. To me this is a fine example of just what kind of athletes are still out there!
