    "Classic" baseball cards. I sense a future recurring feature on DS: dead baseball cards of the past. The 80s-90s would be great. Sportflics, Score, Skybox, Donruss, Fleer...the possibilities are pretty much endless.

    And only three of those know how to calculate VORP.


    But how many of them know how to whip-up a batch of GORP? That's much more relevant, somehow.
