It's baseball season, I'm in the space between two major pro sports drafts that are in DFW, and the National is also inching ever closer.

So, I've gotten a little behind.

On the positive side, I got to do some mailing recently since I'm close to having the National trip paid for. So hopefully some more successes will come rolling in.

Without further ado, April: a month of low quantity but high quality, including four set hits!

And one almost throwdown with everyone's favorite scammer/forger/all-around scumbag Andrew Miller (When he missed Rougned Odor I said "That's okay, you can just forge him later when you get home" and that set him and Amanda both off; I fully expect him to try to run me down with his car someday, sooner rather than later. Apparently he got called out in the Autographs 101 Facebook group too.)

MAY 7
Mark Price, c/o home, 2/2, 1 week

Had a few names added to the National since my last post on it-- Rico Petrocelli, Mike Hargrove, Luis Tiant, Calvin Murphy, Eric Metcalf, and Ross Browner will all be there. Should be about six more yet to be named. I have most of my intel assembled on the ballparks we'll be seeing

Getting stuff ready for the NHL Draft as well-- a giant binder of cards, custom index cards, some pucks I have on hand, maybe some photos. Looks like I'll get to meet up with part of my former Boston 'graphing crew as Russ and Larry will both be there.

I also mailed out to some NFL Draft Picks and UDFAs to their camps. The draft itself went badly on both the 'graphing front and the Browns front (seriously contemplating becoming a Packers fan) so hopefully this nets me a few. I need to mail off a few others soon-- Buddy Bell has been signing, which is a nice surprise.
