Well I'm a Cubs fan and this card was from when I first started tearing packs as a kid. For me a rookie card of my teams #1 pick felt like a big deal and resprestented hope for the future. Well it didnt turn out that way but for me the picture of that card mingles nostalgia and humor. When I look at some of the amazing and quite valuable cards others here are fortunate enough to own my own collection feels similar to a random rookie common from a mass produced modern set. But if you have a card you love you dont care what its worth and to me thats what makes collecting fun.
