Mike Smeth is the Managing Editor of The Cardboard Connection. After a childhood of passionate collecting he took a 12-year hiatus from the hobby. One muggy summer day back in 2006 he unexpectedly came across his childhood baseball card collection while preparing for an upcoming move. With every intention of selling them on Craigslist, Mike set the cards aside and began sorting through them. Somewhere between the 3rd and 4th box, he rediscovered his passion for collecting sports cards and memorabilia, and has never looked back since.

    Uh, how is it that Omir Santos is your rookie catcher and not Matt Wieters? Wieters numbers outpace him in every category. What’s up?
