- The showcase covers 50 cards and links individual pieces to trades, grading results, player trajectories, and Birmingham identity.
Field notes
Entries combine catalog-style information—year, set, player, parallel, numbering, and PSA grade—with acquisition history and personal commentary. The collection includes both football and NFL material, while the surrounding site adds a journal, a Rip & Reveal section, and a conversation feature. The writing distinguishes sentimental value from market scarcity: one card matters because it was a first Jude one-of-one, while another remains desirable despite missing a hoped-for gem grade.
