For those of us who grew up in the late 1980's and 90's, this movie takes you back to a simpler time. And although it hits on baseball cards and the industry... the movie is really about a child who loved cards with his dad, only to have his dad leave the family... and rarely contact his son. We all knew of a family like this in that time period. It was a time before the Internet or cell phones... where some dads just walked out on their families and never came back. It was easier to disappear back then. It was kind of a metaphor for the card industry and how it all just changed one day. I didn't expect to tear up when the main guy in the movie got to meet his father for what he said was the first time in 20 years. I wasn't expecting much from this movie... but I found it to be a compassionate take on a time gone by. I'd actually like to see more sports documentaries by these filmmakers. The main guy seems like a cool dude. By the way, I have 25 Upper Deck Ken Griffey, Jr. rookies still in their protective sleeves!
