Hey everyone,

I am in NJ for the week and have a few games lined up to go to and graph. Today I went to the Long Island Ducks vs Newark Bears game. I didn't do too bad for my first time there. Here is what I came away with.

Ron Flores- 1/1 Signature Card
George Lombard- 4/4 Cards, 4/4 Cards
Dave LaPoint- 4/4 Cards

Newark Bears:

Charlton Jimerson- 2/2 Cards
Armando Benitez- 2/4 Cards
Ron Karkovice- 4/4 Cards
Tim Raines- 1/4 Cards

I will post scans of everything once I get back home.

Thanks,

Nicely done. The ballpark isn't bad...empty when I went, but not bad.

**** - gotta get there soon to try and get Carl Everett on a Mets card since he has not returned the ttm i sent.

Thanks!! Yeah they are struggling to get people to show up to the games. It was $1 ticket night last night and there was probably 250 ppl, if that.

Thanks, yeah he will probably sign pre-game. I tried to get him when he was walking off the field after the game, but he didn't sign.

I see someone else has tried to get these Independent league players to sign TTM and been unsuccessful. Maybe that is why no one is coming to their games. Are they that fan-unfriendly in person or just don't like to answer their mail. I sent out requests to several players and got nothing back.

I did get a success with Benitez, also have seen several successes with Tim Raines

Tim Raines signs through the mail for $5, and Benitez usually signs through the mail.

Tim Raines 1/1
Chris Spurling 1/1
Carl Everett 1/1
Willie Banks 1/1
