2011 home brewed card set #3 - through the fire

2011 Home Brewed Baseball Card Set #3

Through the Fire explained
A.) Veteran players [ages 30-34] and younger players [ages 25-29] who have established themselves in Major League Baseball - but have battled through injuries / personal problems, an off-year or two, being traded/signed onto new teams, dealing with expectations, hype, tragedy, et al.

B.) Super-veterans [age 35 and older] who are still kicking around - hanging on as useful players or just hanging on for one last year or two after enjoying productive MLB players.

C.) These cards are usually 'put together' at the beginning of the MLB season - with an initial set of 20-30 cards, an in-season update to bump the number up to about 31-36 cards and a 'final update' at the end of the season to add a final group [perhaps after the World Series].

D.) There is no set number of cards [minimum of 18 cards to about 63 cards maximum] - though multiples of nine applies, because nine is a number of cards fitting into one plastic sheet.
