Every cap at the Little League World Series is worth nothing, and that’s exactly the point.
No resale. No drop date. No colorway anybody argued about in a comment section. Somebody handed each of those kids a cap out of a cardboard box, and right now it’s the most important thing he owns.
That was you once. And here’s the uncomfortable part: most of us are spending forty, fifty, sixty dollars a cap trying to get back a feeling we got for free at eleven years old.
I don’t think that’s a knock on the hobby. I think it’s the engine of it. Every grail you’ve chased is an attempt to feel the way that first cap made you feel.
Which is probably why the least valuable cap you own is the one you’d grab first in a fire.
What was your first one?
