Coma self proclaimed screenwriter and artist, Dee Collins, revealed this week that despite her best efforts, sales for her homemade baseball card collection have been “meager” at best. Collins began making the cards in her spare time nearly three years ago to assemble one of the most impressive card collections in the region while generating additional income through sales.
“Whoever said ‘the easiest path to making millions is to create homemade baseball cards’ was full of it,” Collins said.
Collins said she was surprised her hand-crafted cards have not sold considering each card is a “one-of-a-kind collectible”.

Collins first sale to Micah Horncraft of Coma fell apart at the last minute.
“None of the cards feature a holographic watermark that changes colors,” Horncraft said. “I only purchase authentic Fleer or Upper Deck cards because they have higher re-sell values.”

Collins, who in her mind is an accomplished writer, has completed nearly one-thousand screenplays and said she will likely try to bundle the cards with her screenplays to create additional value.
“I’m working on screenplay sequels to ‘Field of Dreams‘ and ‘The Natural,” Collins said. “Actually, I’m also working on a sequel to ‘Moneyball‘, which takes place in outer space and a prequel to ‘Eight Men Out.'”
