About 14 months ago I wrote an article predicting who the “next big thing” in Sports Collectibles would be. I recently looked back at it and realized I'd done a pretty good job and figured it would be fun to do it again. Back then David Wright hadn't played a full season in the majors, Sidney Crosby and Ronnie Brown hadn't been drafted yet, and Josh Smith had just opened some eyes with his victory in the slam dunk contest.
