How one pack of 86 Topps spawned a cross country journey to find life after baseball

[metrotheme]

This was probably my favorite story to do all summer. For all of the baseball card collectors here, I sat down with author Brad Balukjian to discuss his book the journey for his book "Wax Pack." He took a cross country trip this summer tracking down the lives of 14 ballplayers in one pack of 1986 Topps (he got a checklist in it), to find out what happens once a ballplayers has left "the show."
