The Mets added a few stars to their baseball family with a single pick in the first round of the MLB Draft on Wednesday night.
USA Baseball alum Pete Crow-Armstrong went to New York with the 19th pick in the draft, giving fans a new name to chase -- and he's got quite a bit of cardboard already thanks to USA Baseball.
But he's not alone in his family when it comes to trading cards and certified autographs.

Admit it, you may have overdone things when it comes to buying football cards this year -- maybe past years, too -- and have a big ol' stash of cards you don't know what to do with. What do you keep? What do you jettison? That's where having a collecting focus comes in. If you haven't overdone it on wax, then maybe having a focus for your single-card buys is a need. (That's one even Buzz has struggled with over decades of collecting.)
One potential niche that seems prevalent this year in NFL and college sets? Cards showing the kids of former NFL players who have now made their way onto cardboard.
They seem to be everywhere this year. Second-generation players aren't anything new, of course, but they can be a fun way to revisit the past while also collecting the present. Buzz started his collecting days in the 1980s and, back then, a Joe Montana autograph wasn't an easy find -- plus, his handwriting didn't justify the high cost on a small budget. Fast-forward to 2015 and Nick Montana has cardboard. He won't be an NFL star -- he wasn't really even that good in college -- and the handwriting also isn't great, but he's got a certified autograph card.
Buzz wanted it, Buzz got it. Can't say the same thing for a Joe autograph, though, even all these years later.
