Why did this Aaron Judge Rookie Card sell for a record $5.2 million? In this preview of my podcast Collecting Confidential, coming this fall, I dive deep into the world of top Aaron Judge rookie cards to explain the nuances that most people miss—from specific refractor types to the "signed vs. unsigned" debate.

From the low hundreds of dollar entries to the multi-million dollar "grails," there is a card for every collector.

In 1951, long before there was Caitlin, or Serena or Nellie, there was 17-year old Lois Youngen, star catcher in the All American Girls Professional Baseball League. Only about 600 women played in the league, which ran from 1943-1954.

Founded by chewing gum magnate Philip Wrigley and made famous by the 1992 film A League Of Their Own, the so-called "lipstick league" was formed as a way to keep baseball parks busy during World War II. Lois played from 1951-1954 and even caught a perfect game!

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT, join me as I appraise the memorabilia Lois brought, and find how she joined the league and what Baseball Hall of Fame manager she played for!"
