"Jake wants to give his father a present to cheer him up, a 1951 Willie Mays baseball card, but runs into complications with a mysterious geneticist, Dr. Giger and a Dominion ambassador group."
The plot seems stupid, but the episode was not too bad. The thing is, how crazy rare this 1951 baseball card must be. No way many would survive into the future. Especially since in the Star Trek universe, Earth has gone through a ton of turmoil to get to this point. But, whatever.
So Dr. Giger offers to trade the card to Jake and Nog if they bring him a list of obscure items from DS9. He needs to the crap to work on his "Cellular Rejuvenation and Entertainment Machine". His theory is that cells get bored and that's why you die. If you stimulate the cells than you can be immortal.
Meanwhile Kai Wynn is on the station trying to work out an alignment with the Dominion (headed by Weyoun). When Dr. Giger disappears, Nog and Jake become suspicious of Kai...for some reason. Also, Weyoun becomes suspicious that everyone is plotting against him...Kai, Giger, Jake, Nog... He then confronts Nog and Jake who are scared out of their minds. Then he confront Giger who seems confused.
Then seemingly out of nowhere everyone figures he each other and becomes friends. Or something. I have no idea. It just ends really strangely.

I wonder if that Willie Mays card is worth more than that Roger Maris baseball card from the Next Gen episode The Most Toys.
Because I'm a nerd I looked up the current prices of those cards. Willie Mays is worth more by a lot. Then again, who knows what could happen in the next thousand years.
I just looked too, Mays really is worth way more. Poor Roger Maris, he doesn't even have the single season home run record anymore.
