Very nice pick ups Andy! Gives me an idea on who will sign when they come to Durham

Was wondering if the Tristar Goedert card is for trade. Need it for my set.

Check out what I have available for trade:

Thanks! They're a good signing team, generally. Russ Canzler, unfortunately, is the only one that has denied repeatedly. I'm hanging onto the Goedert for now, but he's a great signer. If you don't manage to get him, I'd be happy to help out.

I am interested in one of the regular topps update Cabreras.

Going to shoot you a PM...

Looking forward to the next week of 'graphing...planning on 'graphing Lehigh Valley in Columbus this weekend (Ryne Sandberg) and then next Wednesday, I'm planning on going to Akron to see the Aeros play the Erie Seawolves (Nick Castellanos). Hoping to knock out a few Clippers and Aeros cards postgame, too...should be fun!

Nick Castellanos Was a really cool guy last year when i saw him play, he was one per but he talked to me for a little bit and did 2 for me at once.

HUGE night in Columbus against Lehigh Valley tonight...after nightmare traffic caused me to be ten minutes late, I got to the stadium and started 'graphing. I had a friend helping me, which was great for a couple occasions...here's how I did:

Pregame:

Kyle Hudson 2/2 Cards
Steve Susdorf 1/1 8x10 Logo Sheet
Kevin Frandsen 1/1 8x10 Logo Sheet
Ryne Sandberg 1/1, 1/1 ROMLB (w/ HOF '05 inscription!), 8x10 (had help)

Both from Sandberg look AWESOME. I'll have scans up tomorrow...that was it from pregame 'graphing, but I was okay with that since I got two from Sandberg! Game ended early so I hit up the parking lot afterwards...

Postgame:

Gregorio Petit 1/1 8x10
Scott Elarton 1/1 Card
Tom Cochran 1/1 8x10 Logo Sheet
JC Ramirez 1/1 8x10 Logo Sheet
Andres Blanco 1/1 8x10 Logo Sheet
Tyson Brummett 1/1 8x10 Logo Sheet
Ezequiel Carrera 3/3 Cards
Zach McAllister 3/3 Cards
Andy Laroche 2/2, 1/1 Cards (had help)
Trevor Crowe 2/2 Cards
Chris Seddon 1/1 Card
Dan Wheeler 1/1, 1/1 Cards (had help...he chewed me out for having my friend help. Scrub)
Eric Berger 1/1 Card
Matt LaPorta 1/1 Card
Chris Schwinden 2/2 Cards
Dominic Brown 3/3 Cards

So all-in-all, an absolutely awesome night! Sandberg makes any night great, then to add in great numbers with some great players makes it even better. I'm a little upset, though, that my Sharpie was different than my usual one and kept skipping/bubbling. Nothing too bad, though, thankfully! I'll have scans up in the morning, but I'm definitely psyched!

Glad you ended up getting that Elarton signed after you said how bummed you were he was starting the game

Can't wait to see some scans!

Awesome stuff Andy!

Made a trip to Canal Park, home of the Akron Aeros, for the first time in my life today...the Erie Seawolves were visiting and have two top prospects, Nick Castellanos and Bruce Rondon, that I wanted to add. Did pretty awesome! First time 'graphing AA, but it's really laid back and nice. Here's the haul:

Brandon Douglas 1/1 Tigers Team Card
Jordan Lennerton 1/1 Tigers Team Card
Cesar Carrillo 2/1 '05 Topps, Tigers Team Card (was given the Topps by another 'grapher)
Patrick Cooper 1/1 Tigers Team Card
Kenny Faulk 1/1 Tigers Team Card
Corey Jones 3/3 Bowman/Chrome/International Cards
Bruce Rondon 2/2 The Autograph Card, Tigers Team Card
Nick Castellanos 1/2, 1/1 8x10's

Castellanos did one before the game, and said he'd get the other one after the game...which he did! Awesome kid, I think he's going to be a good one. Bruce Rondon though...WOW. That kid has a cannon for an arm. He'll be in the Majors soon!

Other notes...I tried Chick-Fil-A for the first time at the ballpark; easily the highlight of my day. I also caught my first ever foul ball from Roberto Perez! I love getting baseballs to give away to kids with gloves, so I gave that one away, too. Almost bought a cracked Juan Diaz bat (used in Cleveland!) for $25, but decided to pass on it...too bad it wasn't someone better!

That's it. Had an AWESOME day getting both of the guys I wanted and an overall awesome experience. Might have to head back! If you guys want scans of any cards, just let me know.

[gladdyontherise]
