How soon people forget… Nomar and Jeter both entered the league around the same time. There was a debate over which player was better at the time. Sadly, Garciaparra‘s injuries prevented him from having as distinguished a career as Derek Jeter. Still, for a time, Nomar’s cards, especially his 1992 tops of gold traded, were the hottest cards on earth. I love being able to collect this rare parallel at a reasonable price.
