Collecting Cleveland Indians Topps team sets from 1952-present, as well as post-war minor and major league autographs.
Drew Stubbs. I have always been a fan of his going back to his college days when he was at the University of Texas. I got this autograph in-person back in 2012 while the Reds were visiting Cleveland. When I think of Drew Stubbs I think of a centerfielder with[…]
I am normally pretty condition sensitive about autographs, but I really dig a bold, blue ball-point pen signatures. Even if the paper is a little dinged up they still look amazing. When I saw this autograph for only a couple bucks I jumped on it. It is signed on some[…]
Carlos Pena is well known to anyone who saw Moneyball as the player that the A’s coach kept playing instead of Scott Hatteberg, despite the objections of Billy Beane. I remember him since the A’s traded away some of my favorite Oakland players to acquire him from the Rangers back in 2002.[…]
The Air Force Academy baseball team was in town this weekend. They are a really fun team, but its always hard to tell who are legit prospects since they play in Colorado, and the air up there tends to really help the offensive numbers. The one player that I[…]
This was my last consignment of 2017, snagged when the Indians were in Seattle. I am…still in shock that he is gone. Santana seemed like a dude that was going to spend his whole career in Cleveland. He is joining a very young, but very talented, Phillies team. So I[…]
Buster Posey spent a season playing out here in Hawaii during the now-defunct Hawaiian Winter League. Since then I have been kind of a fan, watching his career progress. He was not…super friendly out here…but nice enough. It’s not every day that I have been able to get a future[…]
I don’t have a problem rooting for the White Sox. And so I certainly don’t have a problem rooting for their best hitter, Jose Abreu. Especially when the autograph was only like $5. I am not sure what caught my attention, but I have been a fan of his since[…]
In 2015 Sonny Gray went 14-7 with the A’s, with a 2.73 ERA/1.082 WHIP / 143 ERA+. As an Oakland fan, I was pretty thrilled with him and was sure he was the next Tim Hudson. Well, it did not really work out. He struggled in 2016, with an ERA[…]
I got this autograph for like $5, which I think is a pretty good deal for a guy who has led the league in stolen bases three times and was the 2015 NL hits leader. Gordon was traded from the Marlins to the Mariners a couple months back. Should be[…]
I have been following a couple Willie Mays autographs, but hesitant to pull the trigger since they were all ~$200. Then this one popped up for half the price, so I jumped. I really dig it. It’s in blue ballpoint pen, and bold. The best thing is that its old–it[…]
