An ongoing journey to collect rare cards and memorabilia from the legendary 2004 Boston Red Sox, with a focus on tracking down elusive autographs and getting them signed in person.

From hunting down hard-to-find cards to creating personal connections with the players who made history, this collection is about preserving a piece of one of the greatest teams in sports history—and the stories behind each card.

One Of  The Last Items

Tim Wakefield Ever Signed

I captured an emotional moment when Kevin Millar was shown one of the last items Tim Wakefield ever signed—a rare card from the historic 2004 Red Sox season. Holding the card brought back powerful memories for Millar, who became visibly emotional reflecting on his former teammate and friend. I shot, produced, and edited the video, capturing a deeply personal moment connecting two unforgettable figures from Red Sox history.
