Summary

In the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode, "In the Cards," Jake has his eye on the perfect thing to cheer up his dad - a 20th century baseball card. When he loses it at auction though, Nog hatches a scheme to get it back. They might be in over their heads, but will all be well that ends well? Hosted by John Champion & Norman Lao Welcome to Mission Log, a Roddenberry Entertainment podcast, where we explore the Star Trek universe one episode at a time.
