The great thing about sports collectors is that they are all very different in what they collect, how they collect their items and what they do once they have them. We first came across Michael Wilkie through the Upper Deck Facebook [...]]]></description>

It was hokey, but I hadn’t seen it in awhile and it made me think, “I wonder what baseball will be like in the future.” I didn’t want [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On November 4th 2009, the New York Yankees captured their 27th World Championship against the Philadelphia Phillies. Since then, if you&#8217;re a fan of the other 28 teams, it&#8217;s been a slow, uneventful winter.
If you&#8217;ve been bored by the lack of activity on the baseball front, no need to worry: big things are going to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I had waited thirteen years to see a World Series game, not to mention a championship clinching win.  Just so you can understand where I’m coming from, I’ll explain a bit of personal history; despite my intense fandom, I never had the opportunity to see the Fall Classic in person until this year.

While this may not be the most popular move by the Carlsbad, California company, it proves that it is giving collectors exactly what they want.

Not since Aaron Boone’s moon shot off Boston’s Tim Wakefield leading off the bottom of the 11th inning in Game 7 of the 2003 ALCS catapulted them into history have the Bronx Bombers played for all the marbles.
