In the last few months, we at Tuff Stuff's Sports Collectors Monthly have ran a series on your worst hobby experiences, your best hobby moments and another on your dream collectible. Our next series is all about change or more specificially, what you would change if you you had the power to change one element of the hobby.

While any veteran McFarlane SportsPicks collector will say we have always included "chase" or "variant" versions of existing figures before, its new Collector Level™ program is intended to raise the bar. McFarlane is expanding its current Classic Chase and Super Chase figure releases into a consistent marketing program by developing the Collector Level. McFarlane Toys will produce special Level figures for the Collector Level™ program. There are six Levels in the program; Bronze, Silver, Gold, Premier, All-Star and MVP. Each Level matches to a limited production range. Nearly every standard figure in a series will have an alternative figure; either a Collector Level™ or Classic Chase figure.
Not sure if you've been paying attention, but the World Series is going on, and unlike some of the Fall Classics in recent years, it's actually been pretty entertaining. I'm not sure what happened to the World Series over the last couple decades but I remember when the Series was must-see TV and everything else took a back seat as far as TV viewing goes. It used to be that all of the other sports would'nt dare go head to head with the Series but that's no longer the case because the network programmers have seen that college and NFL football telecasts can no hang with the Series in terms of drawing viewers.
