SCAN DAY!!! Very impressive haul! Love the cards signed by multiple players. Those are always fun little mini projects to get done.

SCAN DAY!!! Very impressive haul! Love the cards signed by multiple players. Those are always fun little mini projects to get done.

Unfortunately, everything scanned there that isn't finished likely won't get finished. Giovanni Soto was traded to the Cubs, and all of those Clippers players are outside the organization (or in Cleveland) now. But thanks for the kind words!

Been slacking on copying my updates over here, but here are the results from Friday, Saturday, and Sunday where I was able to sneak off and do a little autographing each day. Totaled 62 in three days, so pretty solid. I'm fresh out of Clippers stuff, short of just a few guys.

In case you're wondering, I really do hate myself. I basically took yesterday off 'graphing (although I add another Rio Ruiz and Ryan Lavarnway at the game), but I was back at it today with the Charlotte Knights in town. Not bad for the first day of a series...


John McDonald 1/1 Index Card (roving instructor)
Michael Martinez 1/1 Card (finally done with him!)
Phillippe Aumont 2/2 Cards
Chris Volstad 1/1 Card
Jacob May 1/1 Card
Leury Garcia 2/2 Cards
Travis Ishikawa 3/5 Cards
Tim Anderson 1/2 Cards


Solid enough day. Really happy to get Anderson and Ishikawa, and Johnny Mac becomes the 110th former Cleveland Indian that I've got an autograph from in person. I'll be back tomorrow and/or Thursday to clean up on guys that I missed, we didn't recognize, etc., but definitely a solid start to the series.

Today marked probably the final day of my almost daily 'graphing for awhile, but it wasn't a bad day. Got a lot more Charlotte stuff done, but they're definitely a terrible signing team on the whole as far as AAA squads go...


Tommy Hunter 1/1 Indians Team Ball
Collin Cowgill 1/1 Indians Team Ball
Chris Tremie 2/2 Cards
Felipe Paulino 1/1 Card
Chris Beck 1/1 Card
Scott Carroll 2/2 Cards
Travis Ishikawa 2/2 Cards
Tommy Kahnle 1/1 Card
Will Lamb 3/3 Cards
Matt Davidson 1/1 Card
Tim Anderson 1/1 Card


So yeah, not a bad day by any means. Few guys I wish I could've gotten, but I won't lose sleep over them. Plus I got a good start on my 2016 Cleveland Indians team ball that I use as a side project throughout the year. No complaints here.

I got duped into going back today; Charlotte outfielder JB Shuck and I share a hometown (of a population of about 10k people) and our dads actually played college football together for a year, but I've never had the chance to get him. Missed him the first two days, so I figured I'd go back and get him on a ball for my PC...


Omir Santos 2/2 Cards
Jacob Turner 1/4 Cards
Tim Anderson 1/1 Card
JB Shuck 1/1 ROMLB


Shuck denied several times before I eventually broke him down with all the personal connections. I was initially really excited to meet the most successful athlete ever from my hometown, but he kind of managed to ruin that. That, and the fact that I basically had to beg JB friggin' Shuck for an autograph (on a ball FFS!) really put a damper on my day. Oh well, at least I got him.

Racking is fun. Scanning stuff isn't bad. Combining the two sucks. Credit bronxbomber33 for getting the Loek van Mil done and credit to dbacks4life on the Brandon Webb via trade. Most of this stuff is available in trade if interested.

[lambeauleap87]

Feels like I'm talking to myself here...Lehigh Valley results:


Mark Appel 1/1 Card
Nick Williams 3/4, 1/1 Cards
Taylor Featherston 2/2 Cards
Andrew Knapp 1/2 Cards
Jake Thompson 2/3 Cards
David Buchanan 2/2 Cards
Edward Mujica 2/2 Cards (Indian #112 on my list)
Darnell Sweeney 1/1 Card
Will Venable 7/7 Cards (could not have been any nicer)
Zach Eflin 1/1 Card
Mike Clevinger 4/4 Cards (shout-out to jimfalbo21 for "loaning" me a few since my lot didn't come in)
Tyler Naquin 1/2 Cards
Ryan Merritt 1/1 Card
Robbie Grossman 2/2 Cards
Michael Choice 3/3 Cards
Giovanny Urshela 2/2 Cards (usually does one; "Gio, could you sign those last two, please? I won't ask you again." He responded, "Lemme see your face," and then started laughing, so I probably won't be asking him for awhile, if at all).








All-in-all, pretty good night. 36 autos in total, which is never a bad trip. Lots of good stuff, although I think I'm starting to get a little burnt out from 'graphing. Skipping Louisville though, so maybe two weeks off (until Buffalo/Durham) will put me back in good shape.

Nice haul! Eddie Mujica was one of my favorite players when he played for the Marlins & Cards. He would stop to talk to you when you asked him for a graph or pic, very nice guy.

I always remembered seeing successes in your thread with notes on what a cool guy he is. He didn't have much to say, but he was arguably my favorite success from the night.
