Collecting Cleveland Indians Topps team sets from 1952-present, as well as post-war minor and major league autographs.
Matt Fiedler was drafted by the Cardinals out of the University of Minnesota in the 9th round of the 2016 draft. He was a very good hitter in college, hitting .366/.411/.525 his sophomore season. He had 8 HR. He was also a pitcher with UM, and went 7-4 with a 1.39[…]
Will Benson was the 14th overall pick in the 2016 draft. He was a high school pick out of Atlanta, Georgia. Power is his game. He has a ton of it. The biggest issue is that he has problems making contact…and you can’t hit for power unless you can hit[…]
Years ago I saw Charlie Blackmon play in Cleveland…and he was amazing. The entire weekend he seemed to get hits, make big plays, and generally dominate in a way that I had rarely seen a player do live. I was an instant fan. This season Blackmon forced himself in the[…]

I have always liked the way the Topps Total cards looked signed, and when I saw this one pop up for only a couple bucks I jumped at it. Drafted out of a high school in the 3rd round by the Montreal Expos in 2000. Was the Expos #6 prospect (2000)[…]
