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 began sorting through them. Somewhere between the 3rd and 4th box, he rediscovered his passion for collecting and hasn't looked back since.
