Primarily collecting my favorite local team the Cedar Rapids Kernels and its past monikers.  Everything from the first set the 1972 TCMA Cedar Rapids Cardinals, to the most recent 2025 Kernels.  I have a pretty thorough collection of Cedar Rapids baseball team sets and other sets featuring a player in Cedar Rapids uniform, like top prospect and all-star sets.  Some sets have variations and I have added many to the site.  If you have any questions I love to share my knowledge.  
 

I am interested in cards or sets from other MidWest League and Iowa based teams in any sport and league.  I like complete team sets.  Nolan Ryan my childhood hero.
