Episode 3: OG Baseball Superfractors and Nostalgia

In Part 1 of today's episode, I refine my thoughts on what separates good 1/1s from great 1/1s. I also discuss why I tend to stay away from auto and relic cards.
In Part 2 of today's episode, I examine 2005-2010 baseball Superfractors that are in my personal collection. I conclude that collectors shouldn't always chase nostalgia or be driven by nostalgia,...sometimes we have to let the nostalgia chase us as we perform research. Specific cards mentioned include 2005 Topps Chrome Superfractor Zack Greinke and 2006 Topps Chrome Superfractor Felix Hernandez. Curt Schilling, CC Sabathia, and other players of the era also make an appearance.
