Kris Medlen

Mailed on 8/5/11 and received 1/1 back on 8/22/11. Kris is a great young pitcher for the Braves working his way back from injury. He is a great signer and is also very fan friendly on Twitter. Nice blue signature on this card, looks great! Card was mailed to the Braves

Carlos Santana

Mailed on 8/5/11 and received 1/1 back on 8/20/11. 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.

I just got back from a week of vacation so it was fun to open up the 12 envelopes that I had waiting for me from the week. I don't have specific dates of these so I just labeled them all successes today. All baseball and I got some great stuff. Enjoy!

Matt Harrison

Mailed on 7/28/11 and received 1/1 back on 8/20/11. Matt is a young arm for the Texas Rangers and has really established himself this season. He has some great stuff and will develop into a great starter in this league for a long time. This card got a little smudged but still looks great. Card was mailed to the Rangers.

Mike Leake

Mailed on 7/12/11 and received 1/1 back on 8/20/11. Mike has been a reliable arm for the Reds since coming into the league last season. He didn't play in the minors which makes his big league success even better. He has been a great signer this season and I'm glad I could get him. Card was mailed to the Reds.

Nyjer Morgan

Mailed on 8/5/11 and received 1/1 back on 8/20/11. 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. Card was mailed to the Brewers.

Justin Masterson

Mailed on 7/18/11 and received 1/1 back on 8/20/11. 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. Card was mailed to the Indians.

Brad Ausmus

Mailed on 7/12/11 and received 2/2 back on 8/20/11. 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.

Juan Pierre

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! Cards were mailed to the White Sox.

Mike Williams

Mailed on 7/29/11 and received 1/3 back on 8/20/11. 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. Cards were mailed to his home.

Wilson Valdez

Mailed on 6/22/11 and received 3/3 back on 8/20/11. 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. Cards were mailed to the Phillies.
