Former Major Leaguer Dimitri Young is Unlikely Owner of Huge Rookie Baseball Card Collection

Young boxes up the other half of his lunch. He’s headed home to get moving on the foundation. Finally, though, he admits he’ll continue seeking another elusive card.

“I just bought a bunch of ’81 Topps sets,” he says, almost whispering. “There’s never been a Fernando Valenzuela 10. It’s the ugliest card you ever want to see. Mike Scioscia is in the middle and Jack Perconte, a little middle infielder dude, is on the other side. It’s usually off center, with smudge marks, print marks. It’s a real turd.

“To actually find one in decent condition, I’m up to the challenge.”

Young shrugs as he stands up to leave.

“What can I say, I’m the nerd.”
