Oh Balls!

Wow! What a box of baseballs I received from my pal Chris L (ChrisL999 on SCN)! Chris is a guy who loves chasing autographs more than collecting them so he and I are a great fit. I put full trust in Chris to figure which prospects and players are “worth” an official baseball (these are not cheap!). Today’s box included the following baseballs signed on the sweetspots in blue ink… just how I like them:
Anthony Volpe (Yankees top prospect)
Yandy Diaz
Josh Smith (another Yankees top prospect)
Sandy Alcantara
Brett Baty
Justin Turner
Trevor Rogers
This was a fun box to open and add these items to the collection!

My Cousin Vinnie!

Today I received my items from Vinnie M (vinniemiller on SCN) that he got signed in spring training. Vinnie does an awesome job for me at Spring Training as well as during the regular season.

Jason Castro – 2019 Topps 406
Kyle Gibson – 2019 Topps Now Opening Day

Thanks Vinnie!
