I can't begin to tell you how excited I was when I opened that envelope! Knew it was gonna be from coach Gallimore since it was postmarked from Seattle and I already got the UW softball coach

I wrote her a letter telling her what a big fan I am of her and what a big fan I am of Hope and everything she did for Hope. I told her I was going to mail this to Hope's agency next to hopefully get signed. Last week Hope Solo did a book signing at the University of Washington before a women's soccer game, so of course she met up with her coach. When I opened the envelope today my jaw literally hit the floor. Coach Gallimore got the card signed by Hope Solo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very nice get on this one! Sometimes things just seem to work out the right way ; )

Happy Halloween everyone!!

I got 2 returns today to close out October, both from the Arizona Fall League.

Gary Daley: 4/4
Out: 10/22 In: 10/31

Robbie Erlin: 2/2
Out: 10/22 In: 10/31

I also got some more bobbleheads today. This was a Craigslist purchase from a collector in Houston

2012 JR Richard

Roger Clemens

2008 Lance Berkman

Roger Clemens/Nolan Ryan, unfortunately both of these bobbleheads broke at the legs while being shipped. I was able to glue them back together but the Nolan Ryan legs just would not line up :(

2008 Series: 2/4 complete, I only need the Hunter Pence and Roy Oswalt bobbleheads to complete this set

2012 Set: I just need the Mike Scott and Nolan Ryan bobbleheads to complete the set. I just won the Milo Hamilton bobblehead last night.

Entire Astros bobblehead collection

Another TTM success trickled in today to kick off November. Not sure how much longer I'll be getting TTM returns. In a bit of a financial pinch so won't be able to send many out unfortunately

Mike Foltynewicz: 1/1 2012 Topps Heritage Minors
Out: 10/22 In: 11/1 c/o home
Super pumped to get this return as he is a top prospect for my Astros. He had a phenomenal year with Class A Lexington and was named the Astros' 2012 Minor League Pitcher of the Year by the organization

And a couple more bobbleheads in today. And yes this new obsession is the cause of my financial pinch :/

Dustin Ackley

Lance Berkman: Pretty much the coolest bobblehead I own. He was known as the "Big Puma" when he was an Astro

And the entire collection
