When Gabe Kapler says he collected baseball cards as a kid, you can tell he’s not lying.

The new Philadelphia Phillies manager is this week’s guest on “Old Baseball Cards” and we learned two things about him: He speaks the card-collecting language and he loves to make a trade. Many of them in fact. And he proves both those things by wanting to trade all his commons for every Hall of Famer he sees.

In this episode, Kapler opens up some 1990 Upper Deck and I open some 1987 Topps, and we find quite a few guys who are in Cooperstown (or headed there). But there was one that Kapler got so excited about it, he gave up his entire pack. We also pulled, for the first time on this show, the same player from two different types of cards.
