Fans Flock to Collect the Best Cards of Baseball’s New Hall-of-Fame Class: Biggio, Smoltz, Martinez & Johnson

It’s always interesting to watch online auction sites like eBay the day before the Hall-of-Fame announcement and the day after. Sellers almost run to their computers after the announcement it made to post cards of the newest members of the Hall-of-Fame and collectors jump online as well to pick up keepsakes from their favorite players. Today is no different as tens of thousands of baseball cards from just four players are available through the online auction site eBay.
