    What did card companies do differently after the strike of 1994?

    If anything, please comment. I was off to college and was out of card collecting until 2003. I been reading old Beckett magazines and it seemed business went on normally.

    If I bought this and my auto was Conor Biggio I'd be really mad. He didn't even sign and I bet he is the Chaz Roe in this product for the next five years.

    Name something about this hobby you'll never understand

    The fact that Minor League team issued sets are largely ignored. You have some teams that only produce 200 to 500 of these sets with many finding themselves in the garbage 10 years later.

    HOUSTON, WE HAVE A PROBLEM - Astros Fail to Sign #1 Pick Brady Aiken

    1.5 million gets you 2 wins above replacement level. that's a small money amount in terms of having to go out in sign a pitcher to make up that difference. Your not going to find it that cheap.
