A new week means a new post for Collector of the Week here at The Art of Fatherhood. As a fellow geek and collector of all things Pop Culture I wanted to showcase some cool collections that dads share in our community. We love to see this passion in what people collect. In addition, we talk about the latest movies, sports memorabilia, a Cal Ripken Jr. card collection and video games that we are enjoying at the moment.
This Week’s Collector – Cal Ripken Jr. Card Collection
This week’s collector is from Danny. He is sharing his Cal Ripken Jr. card collection.
My parents would take me to a few Orioles games each year. My favorite player growing up was Cal. He was a beast. My dad always praised Cal for his work ethic. As a kid does growing up, I started collecting baseball cards. My buddy would trade me his Cal cards for anything Yankees. We each thought we were getting the better deal. Card prices didn’t matter as long as we got the cards we wanted. It was even better when I would open a pack and find a Cal card.
Thanks for sharing your story, Danny. Really enjoyed your story and collection.
Whatcha Got?
It can be comic books, bottle caps, records, helmets or whatever you are into! I want to see what your passion is and why you started up that collection. For me, I believe that in each collection lies a better story. I want to share your story! Feel free to reach out to me and share your collection.
