    Here is a pic of me holding a Game-used Babe Ruth bat at the National. Then a pic from the Cardinals game. It is a very nice ballpark. And this is my wife. It had been raining so I bought her a poncho. Too bad it was a Cardinals one. ;)

    MLB Lifetime Membership Gold Card

    Why couldn't you just use it? Go up to the gate and say, "I would like to get in. I have this pass. " They would say, "Are you Mr. Maldonado?" To which you would reply, "No, I am the 'And one'." 😄 It could work. Very cool item BTW

    My National Experience...A Quarter Century in the Making!! SCANS ADDED!!

    I wanted to give a recap of my experience at the National. I apologize in advance if it is boring and/or long. The last National I attended was in 1990 in Arlington, Texas. I was a sophomore in high school and I was trying to buy as many Darryl Strawberry cards as I could. Oh how things have...

    What is your process when you receive a card???

    You should look at having your scans on Sports Card Album. You can make albums for each year and your scans are yours. Also, you should check out Zistle. You can upload your scans to the crowdsourced database and really have a cool place to track your collection. Just some thoughts.

    What is your process when you receive a card???

    So I was thinking today how many steps I go through each time I receive a card. It is crazy, but the only way I know to keep good track of what I have. For example, today I got this card... Here is my process: 1) Scan the card 2) Add it to my custom spreadsheet that currently has 23...
