What does a Jefferson scholar do with a small clipping of Alexander Hamilton’s hair? 

This was the question that confronted me when I cracked open a pack of the Historic Autograph & Card Co.’s 2025 Founding Fathers Box. A sucker for any type of collectible cards (a fault inherited from my father), from Magic the Gathering to football, I couldn’t resist when I saw an online ad for cards where I could “own a piece of history.” Before I knew it, I had pressed “buy it now,” and a box of cards was headed to my door.
