Welcome!

So why exactly am I doing this blog?

Because I can.

But seriously, folks, blogs like 1975 Topps and 1988 Topps are a true inspiration.

While my first memories of baseball cards are dotted with the red, red borders of 1990 Donruss cards, and the first card I remember truly cherishing was John Smoltz's 1990 Topps issue, the 1991 Topps set is more significant because of what it represents.

In 1991 at the age of eight, like everyone else in Fayetteville, Georgia, I caught Braves Fever.  It was a special time.  I delved into the world of Major League Baseball as a result.  Team apparel, caps, baseball cards, Starting Lineup figurines, even pencils covered in logos; the baseball memorabilia collection began then and still grows 21 years later.

The 1991 Topps set was always a favorite; while 1990 misses some cherished logos and uniforms (yes, I admit it: I actually LIKE that Astros uniform.  Fear the stripes!), the set makes up for that with a clean, organized look. The best part of each card is the wordmark of the player's team at the bottom right; it looks very nice to me.

Each card, each player, tells a story.  I hope to be able to tell those stories well.
