Collecting Cleveland Indians Topps team sets from 1952-present, as well as post-war minor and major league autographs.
Look what showed up in the mail yesterday…how exciting: My 2017 Cleveland Indians Base Set (Series #1, #2 and Update) In case you did not know: I am in the middle of trying to put together every Topps Cleveland Indians base set from 1952-present. It’s a little easier since the[…]
Austin Jackson is one of my favorite players in the game, so I was happy to grab this autograph for $5. A big reason that I like him was that I saw him play here in Hawaii during the 2007 Hawaiian Winter League. He was good, hitting .271/.368/.489 with 3[…]
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.

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[…]
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[…]
