Collecting Cleveland Indians Topps team sets from 1952-present, as well as post-war minor and major league autographs.
This is not an exhaustive collection of the 2018 Topps Now Indians issues. I just tried to grab the really important moments and milestones. There were not too many. The season was mostly the Francisco Lindor and Jose Ramirez show. There is one card left that I would like to get,[…]
This team made the post-season, or so I am told. Key Cards and Notes: #PS-18 Greg Allen has the Rookie Logoman on it, so that is probably worth mentioning. This set might be noteworthy to Indians fans for the inclusion of Josh Donaldson and Melky Cabrera. Both players had pretty[…]
This is the 2018 Indians Opening Day set. Key Cards: #OD-102 Francisco Mejia has his rookie logo on it. That matter if Mejia pans out like many expect he will.
The Indians won 22-games in a row back in 2017. You might have heard about it. The streak allowed them to surpass the 2002 Oakland Athletics for the longest winning streak in American League history and tying the 1880 Chicago White Stockings and the 1935 Chicago Cubs for the second-longest[…]
Another easy set to slap together–Series 1, 2 and update were easily bought together. 2017 Indians Yea, I really don’t want to talk too much about this team. Finished the season with a 102-60 record and was the favorite going into the playoffs. The favorite. This team will be remembered[…]
This set was easy to put together. Just bought the whole set (Series 1, 2 and Update) all at once. Note and Key Cards: Its a little bit of a bummer that a couple players are not in the set. Roberto Perez is the one that jumps out the most.[…]
This set took a little longer than most to finish. I bought most of the set through a guy selling partial team sets. But he did not have any of the “Semi High” (cards #447-522) or “High” (#523-576), which cost a little extra time and money to get. Notable cards with[…]
Brady Singer was selected by the Royals with the 18th overall pick of the 2018 draft out of the University of Florida. This was the second time he was drafted, the first time being in 2015 when he was the Blue Jays second-round pick. He was a fantastic college pitcher.[…]
I am pretty excited to add this autograph to my collection. Despite being from Hawaii…I really like Augustana, a D-2 team from South Dakota. Two years ago they came through the islands to play Hawaii Pacific. That Augustana team was not considered contenders, though they did garner a couple pre-season votes[…]
Alberto Guerrero was signed as an international free agent by Marlins in July 2014 out of Panama. This season he spent all of 2018 at Low-A pitching out of the rotation. He more than held his own: over 69.2 innings he only allowed 61 hits while striking out 63. Good for a[…]
