We are so excited to have Eric join our department as a colleague! An astute critic, generous mentor, and very soon to be a fantastic professor as well.

Most of my cards are 1990-1996. They're worth approximately the value of the cardboard they're printed on, but I still love to pull them out every once in a while to show them to my kids. They were going to help pay for my college education!

I have only a few cards that are that old, but I do have the Dave Winfield and Mark Fidrych from that set!
