Yes and no, I don't look for them but if I can get a good deal I pick them up.

A friend and fellow member wanted to bid on a lot of 3 bats that had 2 Joe Torre bats and an Eddie Mathews. I told him to bid and I would take the Mathews. We won the lot and after I done some research and found out what a awesome player he was I have slowly been picking his cards.

I recently purchased a collection that included 198 autographed baseball cards, more than half of which were Detroit Tigers. Here are some of the highlights:




The Warden is a custom card, but I thought it looked good next to the Horton

I've been looking for one of these for quite a long time. The ironic thing about this card is they misspelled his name on the front - but spelled it correctly on the rear!

In my experience, this is the rarest variation in the set.

I guess you can take that one off your radar screen.

Warden certainly lucked out with the right team and year for his only season in major league baseball. He didn't appear in the World Series, though, but I imagine he received a ring and a bonus.
