Collecting Cleveland Indians Topps team sets from 1952-present, as well as post-war minor and major league autographs.
I had my eye on this card for a while and was able to snag it for roughly $5. Considering how tough he is to get, I think think it was a pretty good deal. The 2011 Heritage is actually one of my least favorite heritage sets to get signed,[…]
Sammy Sosa has, I think, 11 rookie cards. His 1990 Leaf is easily the best one of the bunch. There was a while there where it was booking for roughly $100. This card was very popular. And very expensive. But now…not so much. PEDs will do that, I guess. Still,[…]
Aaron Schunk was drafted by the Rockies in the 2nd round of the 2019 draft out of the University of Georgia. With the 62nd pick of the 2019 #MLBDraft, the @Rockies select @BaseballUGA 3B Aaron Schunk: https://t.co/OHooNe2EPu pic.twitter.com/xdnFcEm3zx — MLB Draft (@MLBDraft) June 4, 2019 He was assigned to short-season[…]
Took me a little while to get this card, but was finally able to snag it for under $10. Really nice looking autograph from the 2019 Topps set. Franmil Reyes came over to the Indians at the trade deadline. It was a massive trade. Per Baseball-Reference: July 31, 2019: Traded[…]
Very neat card: 2002 Grandstand Cliff Lee, his first minor league card. Lee went 7-2 with a 3.23 ERA with Harrisburg in 2002. In June that season he would be involved in one of the biggest–and best–trades in Cleveland Indians history. The Montreal Expos traded Brandon Phillips, Grady Sizemore and[…]
This is the rookie card of Indians pitcher Larry Burchart. Burchart was a 3rd round pick of the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1967 and then was drafted by the Indians in the 1968 rule 5 draft. He would make his major league debut in 1969 with Cleveland, and over 42[…]
The only rookie card of the former Major League Baseball home run king. Roger Maris made his major league debut in 1957 with the Cleveland Indians, hitting .235/.344/.405 with 14 HR. The 22-year-old would carry a 105 OPS+ and looked like he was the future of the Cleveland outfield. But[…]
