Collecting Cleveland Indians Topps team sets from 1952-present, as well as post-war minor and major league autographs.
This card was signed during Spring Training this year. Was really hoping to knock it out…I figured the autograph would pop, and its a neat, short-printed card as well. While I love the Indians, the Athletics are a close second and its nice to see them having some sucess this[…]
Jean Carlos Mejia was signed as an amateur free agent back in 2004. He sits in the low-90’s with a plus change-up. This is his second season in affiliate ball and his first in full-season low-A ball. He is more than holding his own. Through 30.1 innings he is carrying[…]
Mike Papi was drafted by the Indians in the 1st Round of the 2014 draft out of the University of Virginia. He was considered one of the most polished bats available in the draft and was expected to move quickly through the system. He has managed to get on base[…]
It’s always fun to see a player that came through Hawaii get drafted. Weiss was a senior at Cal State Northridge this season and hit .290/.324/.592 with 20 HR. The power is certainly there–he led the Big West in homers in 2018 and was fourth overall in the Nation. He[…]
Andres Gimenez is one of the New York Mets top prospects coming into the 2018 season. Both BA and BP also tagged in the back end of their Top 100 lists, so he is a very well thought of young player. Last season he hit .265/.346/.349 with 4 HR in[…]
I don’t normally care to add guys from the 2016 Chicago Cubs team if I can help it…but considering he is with the Phillies now and one of the more accomplished pitchers in baseball…I got over it. It’s easy to forget that for the first three years Arrieta spent in[…]
I had this card laying around and had an opportunity to get it signed by Hoskins. Jumped at the chance, and it turned out great. Glad I did it. Rhys Hoskins was a well thought of prospect moving up through the Phillies system, showing plus power and great discipline. His[…]
I have been wanting to get a Brandon Nimmo autograph for a little while…finally pulled this trigger on this one for a couple bucks. Nimmo has been bouncing between the majors and AAA since 2016. This season he looks like he will finally stick with the major league club, and[…]
2018 Topps Archives is a pretty nice looking set this season, and I decided to jump on this card. Tough to find one with a clean autograph, but I think I got a pretty decent copy. Back in late-2014, the Indians traded RP Vinny Pestano–who was well on the backside[…]
Snagged this great looking card for $5…really happy. Adam Plutko was a great college pitcher. He led UCLA to the 2013 College World Series and would beat Mississippi State in the first round of the Championship Series. UCLA would end up being crowned National Champions and Plutko was named the[…]
