Let’s Go Read (with audio!): The Wax Pack

A good baseball book is more than just a baseball book. It’s an underdog story, like Moneyball; it’s a story about ingenuity, like The MVP Machine; it’s a peek behind the curtain, like Ball Four.

What makes The Wax Pack special, is that it’s a little bit of all those things and more.

Besides being a baseball book, it is tough to pin The Wax Pack to one genre. It’s a simple enough idea: one guy opens a pack of 1986 Topps, cracks his teeth on the gum inside, and sets out across America to find the men on the cardboard inside.
