Hey everyone,
This story may be old, but now that I am settled into Georgia after my combat tour and PCS, I thought I would share my awesome Dbacks IP Autos and Top Prospect IP AU.

Last summer, I was home on 2 weeks of R&R from my combat tour. While home, I was in Target and came upon a package of 5 mini DBacks helmets used for dips and other snack items. I decided these were going to be used for something other than that.... AUTOS!!

Well, again while home in that same time period, the DBacks were hosting the CHI White Sox and my wife and I went to 2/3 of the games. On at the 2nd game, the DBacks personnel were anxious about a new top draft pick, Archie (as they kept referring to him as) was attending the stadium in anticipation of him signing. At first, I was skeptic because I am not a prospect collector but then I thought "What the heck, why not?" The words turned out to be a great decision.

I stood next to the dugout and behold, here comes their new top draft pick, Archie Bradley. I obtained his auto on one of the mini helmets and now, I am glad I did. This guy has created alot of hype and I have an awesome AU for my collection.

So, besides the Bradley, I obtained a couple of pitchers (Hernandez, Paterson, and Breslow) AND the DBacks Mascot, Baxter!!

Enjoy the photos of the five mini helmets with AUs. The crummy part is of this whole thing is how the AUs are easy to smear (Hernandez AU has worst smear, and Bradley has NO smears, Thank God! LOL). Oh well, they will be kept in a glass case to avoid any further smearing.
