Re-entering the hobby: My quest to collect as many Braves cards as possible

When I was a kid, I was completely obsessed with collecting baseball cards. Topps, Fleer, Donruss, Leaf, Upper Deck....it didn’t matter. If it was a baseball card, I was interested. One of my prized possessions was a Ken Griffey Jr. Upper Deck rookie card which I regret selling to this day. I also had a Frank Thomas No Name on Front that I am reasonably certain my brother destroyed and I am still bitter about. I wanted complete sets including all of the inserts and I religiously checked Beckett’s price guide to see if any of my cards had appreciated in value month to month.
