Featured Card: We're collecting these cards based on popularity, and each time we go to collect two more cards before the games we're attending, I ask the Phillies employees at the Kids Club booth which cards are going fastest. Surprisingly, or maybe not given his popularity, we were told this Stubbs card is one of the most popular. Granted, he was hitting .103 entering this game, but he is fairly popular and he doesn't really appear on a ton of baseball cards, so I guess it makes sense.
