Collecting Cleveland Indians Topps team sets from 1952-present, as well as post-war minor and major league autographs.
Garrett McCain was drafted by the Tigers in the 10th round of the 2017 draft out of Oklahoma State University. An outfielder, he had a pretty amazing junior season, hitting .388/.491/.549 with 4 HR. Anyone who knows me knows that I have an unhealthy fascination with high on-base percentage guys…so McCain[…]
I got this autograph this past winter when Seager was in town for a hitting clinic. He was…really cool. Being a superstar and all I was not really expecting that. Just a little while ago he hit the go-ahead homer run in game two of the World Series. So cool.[…]
Mitch Walding was drafted by the Phillies in the 5th round of the 2011 draft out of St. Mary’s HS, Stockton, CA. Coming out of the draft he was a project, but he had a good hitting tool and showed a plus aptitude for the game. He was rated the Phillies #23[…]

I was in the process of selling a bunch of autographs to pay my paypal down…so I was not trying to spend money…but then I saw this card. At first I was not intending to buy it, but I did follow it to see where it would end. By the[…]
2014 Panini National Treasures. This card cost me less than $10. That should say something about where he is in his career. Evan Longoria just finished his 10th year in the big leagues. At, at 31 years old, it was his worst. He hit .259/.312/.422 with 20 HR, good for[…]
