Why the issue matters

Greg Maddux — Modern Issues

Refractors, parallels and certified autographs from the 1990s onward. The focus here is the same as in the vintage: scarce parallels and low-population grades rather than volume.

Why the player matters

Greg Maddux

Greg Maddux, “The Professor,” was my childhood favorite player, which is why he has a place in this collection when almost no other modern player does. He won 355 games with command and guile rather than velocity, took four straight Cy Young Awards from 1992 to 1995 and a record 18 Gold Gloves, and was elected to the Hall of Fame in 2014. I collect him the same way I collect the vintage: earliest and scarcest issues first, plus a little Atlanta game-worn gear that ties to the same story. The nickname fits a Shoeless Professor.
