Wax Pack was fantastic!  I wish he'd open another pack.

Just received this as a surprise birthday present from my hopefully future daughter-in-law. Looking forward to reading it.

I haven't read it myself but I've heard a number of people say positive things about Confessions of a Baseball Card Addict. I'm not sure if Tanner is a member here but he at least used to post a lot on the Blowout Cards Forums. And I'll concur with BrewerAndy that Mint Condition was a great read 

"The Card" looks fantastic. I'm looking forward to getting that and reading it. A few months ago, I reread this:

I was given the book when I was a boy but had not read it in years and years.

Cardboard Gods: An All-American Tale Told Through Baseball Cards

Book by Josh Wilker

Is a nice read of a collector telling his stories behind cards they had in their collection.

I'm going to have to check that one out.  Sounds fun.

Reminds me of "The Hall Ball" about the guy who's been trying to get a picture of his baseball with every hall of famer living or dead (on their headstone) to make it the first croud sourced hall of fame artifact.

I remember seeing pictures of his baseball being held up by different players over the years on social media and a few graveside pictures as well.  Made me feel like I was on the journy with him.
