Collecting Cleveland Indians Topps team sets from 1952-present, as well as post-war minor and major league autographs.
Teodoro Ortega is a decent pitching prospect. Signed as an international free agent by the Oakland Athletics in July 2017 Pitched very well in the Dominican Summer League in 2018 (3-1, 2.11 ERA/0.891 WHIP) It would seem that his performance was noticed, at least by the Texas Rangers, who got[…]
Triston Polley was drafted in the 16th round (475th overall) by the Texas Rangers in 2019 out of Indiana State. Congratulations to senior left-hander Triston Polley (@tristonpolley28) on being drafted to the @Rangers in the 16th round of the 2019 @MLB Draft! #MarchOn | #StateMade pic.twitter.com/25M8Xy1DVQ — Sycamore Baseball (@IndStBaseball)[…]
Adam Kloffenstein is a very good pitching prospect. He was drafted by the Blue Jays in the 3rd round of the 2019 draft out of a Texas high school.

Tonight’s starting pitcher is William Gaston! 🇨🇺 La Habana, Cuba 🆚 @EverettAquaSox pic.twitter.com/LBL9pgL8fF — Vancouver Canadians (@vancanadians) July 10, 2019 William Gaston was signed by the Blue Jays in December 2018 as a minor league free agent. Gaston spent most of the season in extended spring training, then was[…]
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.

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[…]
