June 12, 2014 graphed the Mississippi Braves both pregame inside the stadium and postgame outside the stadium. The Braves did not take batting practice due to a storm that had moved in earlier during the afternoon, so I completely lost that opportunity. They are one of the better graphing teams that has come through so far on the year however, so it was a good and successful night.

Graham and Hursh could not have been any nicer and signed everything that everyone had....There was a ton of graphers both inside and outside so that was a pleasant surprise at how they signed. Graham did all 18 at one time without being asked and asked if that was everything that I had as did Hursh, both incredible guys. I'll be headed back out a few more games of this series to tie up a few loose ends and work on Bryant some more.

Graphed the TN Smokies pre & post game today...Lucked out and had Kris Bryant at the pre-game autograph table and was able to get a couple of nice sit down autographs from him. Also stuck a couple of the Braves autographs in as well. They were also auctioning off tonight's Cancer Awareness jerseys and I picked up the Jonathan Mota jersey and will have pics of it once they get it to me in the coming week, he also told me he would get me the hat from tonight's game...

Went to the final game of the first half today for Fathers Day with the wife and kiddo between the Smokies & Braves and of course had to get a few autographs while I was there...I was also able to pick up my Jonathan Mota game used jersey from last night's Breast Cancer Awareness game, so that was an added bonus for sure.


Braves:


Mycal Jones 2010 Topps Pro Debut x2, 2009 Bowman Chrome x2, 2009 Bowman x2, 2009 Bowman Gold x2
Aaron Holbert 1997 Fleer, 1994 Bowman


Smokies:


Elliot Soto 2011 Elite Extra Edition
Kris Bryant 2014 Bowman Chrome, 2014 Bowman x6


Also added Jonathan Mota, Kris Bryant and Lance Rymel to my team sheet. The autograph that Bryant put on the team sheet is the best that I have seen him give out all year with every letter of his last name almost identical to the Aflac cards.

Here are a few photos of the game used Jonathan Mota jersey, he also gave me the hat that he wore during the game to go with it...He also signed it on the front and back as he didn't know which side I wanted to display.





Autograph on the back:



Front of jersey with lots of use :D



Back of jersey





Southern League All Star game on Tuesday will be my next game/event.

[cwells52]

Attended the Southern League All Star Game & Luncheon yesterday afternoon, it was a great time and I'm glad that I had the opportunity to meet someone the caliber of Mr Maury Wills. I would guess my graphs would be quality over quantity as I have seen most teams already come through.

It was also Kris Bryant's last game in AA, glad I was able to see him play this first half of the year.

[cwells52]

Went to Greeneville tonight for the opening night of the Appalachian League to watch the Astros take on the Elizabethton Twins...Greeneville has several guys with cards including hitting coach Cesar Cedeno, but I went for Nick Gordon who is with the Twins...His first game out and he goes 4-5 with a double.


Managed to get these done after the game right before he headed off the field, super nice kid.


The photo from the draft is inscribed #5 overall and the ticket is inscribed with Pro Debut

[cwells52]

Graphed tonight at the Smokies vs Chattanooga game at Smokies Park, one of the worst nights graphing in some time...Only got to graph the Lookouts pre-game as their BP session was stormed out and as soon as the game was over it began to storm again. Smokies won it on a walk-off walk, so I would not have been going to the Lookouts side anyways.

Took in tonight's game between the Smokies and the Montgomery Biscuits (Rays) and did very well. The Smokies team sets are out as of tonight and include one autographed card per set for $15.00. A neat idea to include the autograph per set, Bryant autos are inserted as these were signed before the All Star Break and sent off to set up.
