    Baltimore Orioles vs. Tampa Bay Rays, St. Petersburg, FL

    I went to the Orioles at Rays in St. Petersburg the other night. Same night as hockey playoffs, so most were home watching the game and the stadium was empty. Only about 7-10 people on the Orioles side for autographs so I thought it would be a gold mine. Manny Machado did come over and sign for everybody, unfortunately he signed my baseball upside down under the Rawlings logo. Buck Showalter came over and signed as well, but no other Orioles signed during warm-ups. I ran over to the Rays side and got a few guys on cards and that was about it. Reminds me of how much more fun the minor league games are for autographs, but I can't complain having gotten Machado.

    Congrats on the Machado. I got him in Single A and trust me, the signature looks about the same!
    I collect vintage in all sports and rookies. However, I do love any Red Sox, Bears, Penguins or Celtics that I need for PC! Need 1959 Topps Baseball cards for a set (ending stages). My cards come from smoke free environment, so please be upfront if your cards are not. Also if your cards are creased or bent, be honest about it.

    Honestly, the first time someone told me a ball got signed "upside down" I had no idea what they were talking about. It's not like you have to read the rawlings logo to appreciate the graph- so lately I've been trying to be happy with what I have- I encourage you to do the same .

    And as others have said that's as good as you're going to get from machado so good work!
