For many, nostalgia remains the driving force behind baseball card collecting, and that’s how we arrived at the idea of One-Sheet Collections.

It’s a simple concept with infinite possibilities.

Take a single ninepocket sheet and a reasonable $100 budget, and build a nine-card collection with a unifying theme.

This time around we focus on nine forgotten Cy Young winners for the 1980s and 1990s.

While guys like Greg Maddux and Roger Clemens were piling up hardware on their way to legendary careers, these nine pitchers briefly crashed the party with an award-worthy peak that is rarely mentioned.
