Collecting Cleveland Indians Topps team sets from 1952-present, as well as post-war minor and major league autographs.
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[…]
Dan Fyvie is one of many minor leaguers that I have had a crush on over the years, and though many never really panned out professionally I am still a fan of. Unfortunately, despite never becoming stars players like this can still be tough and/or expensive to add to the collection.[…]
Got this from a private signing a couple weeks ago. Tejada had a fantastic career. Over 16 seasons in the big leagues he would be selected to six all-star teams, win two Silver Slugger awards and was the 2002 American League MVP. Standard Batting Year Age Tm Lg G AB[…]
I got this autograph two years ago when Ohtani was in Honolulu for a Nippon League event. At the time there was a lot of buzz about him coming to the majors, and it seemed like only a matter of time before he came to play in the states. Glad[…]
I got this in-person years ago, one of the only Allen and Ginters that I ever got done myself. Justin Masterson was the Indians #1 pitcher for a couple of seasons. For three years (2011-2013) he was the Indians most consistent pitcher, going 37-35 with a 3.86 ERA/1.316 WHIP/100 ERA+.[…]
The Indians are having a rough time of it in the majors, but at least there are a couple players moving up through the minors to be excited about. Will Benson was drafted 14th overall in the 2016 draft. A high school player, he was considered a project with a[…]
