I rarely trade my items much less sell them but when Jake Cave signed with the Phillies, Emily P (part of the Facebook ticket collecting group) reached out and asked if I had a ticket for Jake’s debut. I only had one and it was signed already. Since Jake was one of my son’s most favorite players, I had a really hard time moving it but she acquired it from me. Fast forward to recently when Jake was released by the Phillies and Emily made the ticket part of a lot of a huge pile of tickets for sale. I jumped at the chance to bring that ticket back home. Included with it were signed debut tickets for:
JT Chargois
Brandon Kintzler
Jurickson Profar
Christian Bethancourt
Vince Velasquez
Francisco Mejia
Michael Kopech
Adam Haseley
Bailey Falter
Logan Gilbert
There were about another 50-60 unsigned debut tickets that will keep me busy too! It was a fun lot of tickets to go through!

What’s The Wether(holt)?
The person who runs SportsGraphing.com, Alan Moore, recently had a signing with the projected #1 player pick in the 2024 baseball draft, JJ Wetherholt. I bought a baseball from that signing and it arrived today. Nice fully signature with middle name!
Jose Can You See?
