Cleveland Indians pitcher Cliff Lee took some time out of his busy schedule Wednesday night to host a fundraiser for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. This cause is very near and dear to Lee's heart as his seven-year-old son Jaxon has been suffering from leukemia since he was just four months old. The Indian's 20 game winner heavily discounted his autograph signing fees for this special event. Lee charged fans only $20 per item autographed. Three different items could be autographed by Lee for only $50.

Mike Smeth is the Owner of The Cardboard Connection. After collecting baseball cards for much of his youth, he took a 12-year hiatus from the hobby. One muggy summer day in 2006 he unexpectedly came across his childhood baseball card collection while packing up for an upcoming move. With every intention of selling them on Craigslist, Mike set the cards aside and began sorting through them to list. Somewhere between the 3rd and 4th box, he rediscovered his passion for collecting sports cards and memorabilia, and hasn't looked back since.
