He owns one of the best T206 baseball card sets in existence (yes, he’s got a Wagner), all displayed on his office wall. Detroit-area attorney E. Powell Miller loves his cards, but he’d also like to have even more people share in his love of baseball.

She may not have quite as much disposable income, but Ruth Boger has a similar passion for baseball. The 51-year-old North Carolina woman is the music director for the local Lutheran church who started collecting baseball cards ten years ago when she was recovering from back surgery.
