I started collecting Juan because I use to take my daughter to the local baseball card shop to bust packs. This was in 1990. She loved it. She was also a tom boy. Like most people who went to college, my mom threw out all of my baseball cards when I went to UCSB. One day, my daughter said, "dad why don't you buy some packs to open?" I bought a few but it seemed aimless just to collect a bunch of different cards. I could not afford at the time to collect my heros from the 1960's so I decided to pick a young player who could hit home runs. I picked Juan in 1990 and have been collecting ever since.
