A HOCKEY SUCCESS! Its certainly been a while, with the offseason upon us its hard to write to hockey guys which is why I have switched gears to baseball for now. But every once in a while a straggler like this one will find its way back. Joe has always been a good signer, he takes his time and usually signs in the offseason but you usually get your stuff back. Sometimes you can get him to sign 2 cards but this time I just got one but it was the card I really wanted signed so its all good. These Champs cards look awesome very happy with this one. Cards were mailed to the Sharks.nolongerpostinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09943374549314013900noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6026415595866468280.post-64347965502551675112011-08-29T12:38:00.000-05:002011-09-01T12:42:59.225-05:00Gordon Beckham<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgngGl0tIykfD04N72USpHbrEktC3a7JaVL1b5MExU4IEN9JO0B7gfL1fIvqS5zKcF3nLPpp25Ly_ld1cc0hmH6jC2cHqGtWW5W2ksUIJtXq2FR2aFQEhH0vUbLH_ZWoT3ACdVm18O-YWI/s1600/IMG_0330.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgngGl0tIykfD04N72USpHbrEktC3a7JaVL1b5MExU4IEN9JO0B7gfL1fIvqS5zKcF3nLPpp25Ly_ld1cc0hmH6jC2cHqGtWW5W2ksUIJtXq2FR2aFQEhH0vUbLH_ZWoT3ACdVm18O-YWI/s400/IMG_0330.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5647447387416058370" /></a>Mailed on 7/23/11 and received 1/1 back on 8/29/11. Two White Sox in one day is pretty cool, team must have mailed out a bunch of stuff for the players that day. Gordon is an interesting young player, he had a great rookie season and had everyone here in Chicago excited for his career ahead.

I always love a 5/5 request. Mr. Giambi had a nice career for a few different teams but is maybe remembered most for getting tagged out at home in the A's/Yankees playoff game thanks to a great play by Derek Jeter. Great blue signatures on all five, very happy overall.

AJ has been a boss behind the plate for a long time and its a shame to see him on the DL for the first time in his career. But with some extra time on his hands it seems he is picking up the pen and signing. My only gripe about this one is that he signed it as if the card was a landscape card and not the vertical it is. Regardless though, nice to add AJ to the collection.

Mr. Uehara has been a great signer since coming over from Japan and he really proved that with this success. I mailed this one out when he was with the Orioles then shortly after I sent it out he was traded to the Texas Rangers (a danger of writing to baseball guys during the trading deadline). He took his mail with him though and I was very glad to get this one back. Cards were mailed to the O's. nolongerpostinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09943374549314013900noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6026415595866468280.post-86670311815686641712011-08-26T12:19:00.000-05:002011-09-01T12:29:40.598-05:00Bill Mueller<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrzcZjGdQDDQQOuM5Z6U4WvU7F2ecqMGBtLlh_VkV9Y1dFTTOcoma47Jaw1PhbTyV4wjSwOxGskJuF9_5WXvH5bB5pmR13SyDd0qet4MV-PheMpLWb_3FnIpAoL_Ht7zhbSozbcLAH6SM/s1600/IMG_0334.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrzcZjGdQDDQQOuM5Z6U4WvU7F2ecqMGBtLlh_VkV9Y1dFTTOcoma47Jaw1PhbTyV4wjSwOxGskJuF9_5WXvH5bB5pmR13SyDd0qet4MV-PheMpLWb_3FnIpAoL_Ht7zhbSozbcLAH6SM/s400/IMG_0334.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5647442320188660898" /></a>Mailed on 8/5/11 and received 5/5 back on 8/26/11. Mr. Mueller was a great hitter for a long time in the bigs for a few different teams but most memorably (for me at least) with the Cubs and Red Sox. I rubbed these cards down with an eraser but he must have signed the cards quickly and thrown them one behind the other because they still got smudged. They don't look awful but don't look that great either. The only one that didn't get smudged is my Bazooka comic strip showing Mr. Muellers game where he hit a grand slam from both sides of the plate.

Mr. Pavano has been a reliable "one-per"signer recently. I figured I would get one off to him while he is hot with the sharpie. Interesting signature, loops his C in Carl into the P in Pavano. Looks more like some sort of weird symbol but it works. Mr. Pavano has had an interesting career, he had some great years with the Marlins then signed a big contract with the Yankees but he never stayed health in his Yankee years. He has now turned into a horse for the Twins, logging 200+ innings a year. Card was mailed to the Twins.nolongerpostinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09943374549314013900noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6026415595866468280.post-70347863861357086422011-08-24T12:07:00.000-05:002011-09-01T12:14:31.006-05:00Clint Robinson<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3vcIlrVOCvHSVM5rO1EauMznr80r4uyxIKelpey2jfdP2_XGl3GAh0IigVKU_1GC-ivXJs8Iylxlagtk23EGEVGk7FiPMHr4K3f4SF9eyXfA0mXYvjPvzalSPcGUTLqv6ArzyeUt_hJc/s1600/IMG_0336.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3vcIlrVOCvHSVM5rO1EauMznr80r4uyxIKelpey2jfdP2_XGl3GAh0IigVKU_1GC-ivXJs8Iylxlagtk23EGEVGk7FiPMHr4K3f4SF9eyXfA0mXYvjPvzalSPcGUTLqv6ArzyeUt_hJc/s400/IMG_0336.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5647439299574188354" /></a>
<br />Mailed on 8/9/11 and received 3/3 back on 8/24/11. I've gotten Mr. Robinson a few times before, he has always been a reliable signer for me. These are signed in silver which looks better in person then they do in these pictures. It's tough to get these Chrome Bowman cards to look good in the pictures. Clint is having a monster season in AAA for the Omaha Storm Chasers and I'm sure we will see him this September with the Royals once the rosters expand.

Another fast return from a former long time big leaguer. Mr. Milton has a very reliable lefty for the Twins and he even threw a no hitter in his career. A no-hitter is in my opinion one of the coolest things you can do in sports. An entire game of domination by one player is as good as it gets. He nicely signed all 5 cards I sent in thin blue sharpie.

Awesome success from one of the best young players in the game. This kid is gunna be a stud in the middle of the Cleveland lineup for a long time. Get him while he is signing! This card did get a little smudged but still looks awesome. I have to say, the Cleveland Indians seem to be the best signing team in the league. I've gotten a bunch of their guys and I have more requests out to guys I've seen a lot of success with. Glad they take the time for their fans. <div>

This card got a little smudged but still looks great.

Nyjer has been a great addition for the Brewers this season. He has provided a lot of energy and clutch hitting for the young and talented Brewers. He has had a troubled past but has put all that aside and played great baseball all year. I previously mailed to Mr. Morgan when he was with the Nationals but I never got it back. Glad to finally get him.

Mr. Masterson is having a breakout season with the Indians and will be anchoring that rotation for a long time. He has been a great signer over the years but this is the first time I managed to get him. I only mailed to him one other time and it never came back. It was when he got traded to Cleveland from Boston and I guess mine got lost in translation. He has a great signature, glad to add him to my collection.

One of my all-time favorites, Mr. Ausmus was amazing behind the dish with the Astros pitching staff when they were really good. It didn't matter if he never got a hit, he was so valuable with his defense and baseball smarts at the most important position in baseball (I'm a pitcher but I know how important a good catcher is!) He has always been a great signer in person and TTM. He is now working with the Padres and I hope he will soon have a managing position in the MLB. Cards were mailed to the Padres.nolongerpostinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09943374549314013900noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6026415595866468280.post-18264026810162926822011-08-20T15:36:00.002-05:002011-08-20T15:40:20.279-05:00Juan Pierre<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfCJzF6_xqX-mGY1mvHNyXytiDq4EMnzA0a7X1KTixMJ6IYaIgb9f_2WCPGPYofXua3Lxc6aW-2wIHp_MDaSqZ2HWc9uVjiOuKUzJO6OUE8mdscmvVIz4of73RoQCp_L_O6fCFj-W2BBA/s1600/IMG_0264.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfCJzF6_xqX-mGY1mvHNyXytiDq4EMnzA0a7X1KTixMJ6IYaIgb9f_2WCPGPYofXua3Lxc6aW-2wIHp_MDaSqZ2HWc9uVjiOuKUzJO6OUE8mdscmvVIz4of73RoQCp_L_O6fCFj-W2BBA/s400/IMG_0264.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5643039985350227298" /></a>Mailed on 6/29/11 and received 2/3 back on 8/20/11. Mr. Pierre has been a speedster and great leadoff man for so long in the MLB. He is still getting it done with the White Sox and he has been a reliable signer his whole career. He nicely signed these two cards and added a Bible verse to both cards which was pretty sweet. Its a great Psalm that he added, I encourage you to go look it up!

He kept two of my cards and returned this one nicely signed. It is a little tough to see on the card but it looks sweet in person. I love these Fleer Tradition cards, he kept the base card from this set but this is one of the insert from the set and they look great signed. Mr. Williams had some great seasons as the Pirates closer and I'm glad he signed one for me.

Mr. Valdez has been a nice player for the Phillies this season, filling in where ever he has needed to for the Phillies. He won a game on the mound this season as well! Definitely not something you see everyday from an infielder. The coolest thing was he set down the middle of the Reds roster in order. Interesting signature from Mr. Valdez and I'm glad he signed all three of my cards.

Great success from one of the young studs in the Arizona rotation. The D'backs have turned in around this season and are currently leading the NL West. Daniel has been a huge part of that success, his numbers speak for themselves and he is going to be a good one for a long time. Mr. Hudson was a big prospect here in Chicago before being dealt to Arizona and I'm glad he has turned into a star. This card was personalized by Mr. Hudson which is always cool with me. My last three successes have been personalized! I realize some guys do this so these cards don't go right up on ebay but I appreciate the extra effort these guys have put in for me. Card was mailed to the D'Backs.nolongerpostinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09943374549314013900noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6026415595866468280.post-78346757576984623422011-08-12T12:30:00.002-05:002011-08-12T12:41:31.231-05:00Brian Duensing<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguoFywhR2vJnhJEXx7Tw98hsxjsbXFv0CPVaoZKiDT1M4GuTRG5-xu72KYeDFDVBvBLwvL5FFbvx84z5wt2lWFfBgM79dPJvVriJ4D8nDg83lhDA76yJekDE1sFTTrloW_0Ab4NN5-HKI/s1600/IMG_0206.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguoFywhR2vJnhJEXx7Tw98hsxjsbXFv0CPVaoZKiDT1M4GuTRG5-xu72KYeDFDVBvBLwvL5FFbvx84z5wt2lWFfBgM79dPJvVriJ4D8nDg83lhDA76yJekDE1sFTTrloW_0Ab4NN5-HKI/s400/IMG_0206.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5640024652164351714" /></a>Mailed on 7/26/11 and received 4/4 back on 8/12/11. Very nice return from a young arm from the Twins. I saw Brian pitch in single-A with the Beloit Snappers in 2006 and I'm glad to see he has found a spot in the Minnesota rotation. I was happy to see that Mr. Duensing had signed all four of my cards, I'd seen a few requests come back with only one card signed for many people. Pumped I got my minor league cards of him signed since I was able to get them signed in person because he got promoted before these cards came out. His signature has changed a bit since 2006 but I'm sure his autograph request amount has greatly increased since his minor league days. Very happy with these four cards. Cards were mailed to the Twins.nolongerpostinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09943374549314013900noreply@blogger.com0
