SET REGISTRY SPOTLIGHT

Jean-Luc Picard's Collection of Non-Sports Cards
In this issue of the PSA Insider, we are not spotlighting one set, but giving a nod to Jean Luc Picard's collection of non-sports cards. Just scroll through the Miscellaneous Sets section of the Set Registry and you'll see what we mean. From his 1950 Bowman Wild Man set to his 1969 Topps Man on the Moon set, this collector has assembled a wonderful collection of vintage cards. And, he's not done yet. He is continuing to add sets to the Registry. Congratulations on this fine achievement.

It has been a great baseball season and there's still some major excitement left, with the decisive games of the playoffs and the World Series still on the agenda. As wonderful as it was (and is), there were still a few sour notes in the 2003 season. What, in your opinion, was the WORST part of this up and down year?

1. The Sammy Sosa/corked bat controversy! Enough said.
2. The Red Sox/Yankees melee in Game Three of the playoffs!
3. Yankees owner George Steinbrenner's acting in the VISA commercials! Don't quit your day job, George.
4. The announcers for FOX Sports during the playoffs! Even the usually reliable Tim McCarver was off the mark this year.
5. The Detroit Tigers!
