Every ballplayer dreams of being on his own baseball card.  Even more amazing is the companies pay for the autographs.  Drafted and Rookie Cards are the most coveted.  Topps has now been acquired by Fanatics and at the MiLB level, Panini is still in the game.  Marc works very hard cultivating excellent relationships with the company reps and constantly markets the player to obtain signature deals when the player becomes a collectible name.  Larger markets drive the industry and oftentimes the player's trading card interest will lag some months behind the on-field performance.  Keeping the companies abreast of the player's performance ensures deals will be had at the earliest moment.
