Albert Pujols should join MLB's 3,000-hit club this week -- and we may not see a hitting machine like him ever again
We've all known Albert Pujols to be a big deal on baseball cards for most of this century and that his 2001 Bowman Chrome rookie autograph is an iconic card that can only be owned by some.But now that he's on the cusp of joining the 3,000-Hit Club -- he's just four hits away -- we get another moment to examine his place in MLB history.
While that club is exclusive, he's among an even more elite group once that happens -- and it's a club so elite we may never see it again.

NSCC signers: Whose autograph would you pick first?
This year's National Sports Collectors Convention begins on Wednesday with more than 100 autograph guests signing for those who opt to get a ticket and stand in line for their "inkredible" moment.Some of those signers are actually free if you're at the VIP reception on Wednesday or buy a VIP ticket package -- a bonus for taking the time to hit the entire show or buy the full package for all of the other bonuses -- but other signers will take some planning to land the ones you want.
>>> NSCC Want even more? Click here to see all of our past pieces previously revealing nuggets of news for the show and keep up with newer stories tagged NSCC by clicking here.
It's tough to see everything at the show -- it's that big -- and the time it takes to work through autograph lines is valuable in that it impedes your shot at seeing it all. With that said, here are my picks -- one per day -- to grab off the autograph list. (Keep reading for the full signers list in a gallery at the end.)
