</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"> Today I decided to post one of my more interesting TTMs during my absence that being the infamous, John Rocker.</div><br />
Rocker played in 6 MLB seasons four of those being with the Braves and the others being with Indians, Rays and Rangers. Though Rocker is known more for his off-field actions, he was a solid closer near the beginning of his career. When asked about playing for my Mets or the dreaded Yankees he said some very racist and inappropriate things that I don't think I should have on my blog. His answer can be found on Wikipedia.<br />
<br />
In Rocker's MLB career he had a record of 13-22 with an ERA of 3.42 and 88 saves. Also, the HBO show Eastbound and Down was loosely based on Rocker according to the creators. Though Rocker made quite the storm in the MLB I still remain a fan because I love a guy who says what he feels and doesn't give a crap what others think even though what he said was completely inappropriate. I would like to thank Rocker for signing my card.<br />
<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div>Then we get to my trip to the card shop today, the Giants lost again last night to the Eagles and when my Giants lose I get mad and buy card. Today I did not spend to much money but got some nice cards for my PC.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgllAZBaWX2gNvf3a-DcjrPc1zRVvzTo2YVWuJ8EXkAFu8w-zNnROAncisSVvq0iNv5sygoyXsa4kTYcZNM3fUBgf5yaEuGMKn2lETS34wIeZ3gkvfWvd2YL_5g2XkBuVFE9qe16F5NwNIs/s1600/IMG.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="130" ox="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgllAZBaWX2gNvf3a-DcjrPc1zRVvzTo2YVWuJ8EXkAFu8w-zNnROAncisSVvq0iNv5sygoyXsa4kTYcZNM3fUBgf5yaEuGMKn2lETS34wIeZ3gkvfWvd2YL_5g2XkBuVFE9qe16F5NwNIs/s320/IMG.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"></div>I bought autographs of Former Mets Joaquin Arias and Anderson Hernandez. I was looking through the owners cards for sale and found this awesome Willie Green three-color patch numbered to 50. I paid three bucks for it. If anyone is interested it is for trade.<br />
<br />
I hope I don't have to keep spending my money because if the Giants keep losing I will be on the streets soon.<br />

This card is signed by the ageless wonder himself, Jamie Moyer.<br />
<br />
Moyer who turned 48 two days ago is still trucking in the majors. This season, he played for the Phillies but missed the second half of the season due to an elbow strain. Moyer recently became a free agent but also just suffered another elbow injury in the Dominican Winter Leagues that could possibly end is MLB career.<br />
<br />
I personally hope Moyer can recover from his injury and pitch next season, Moyer is probably the last guy for awhile that could possibly hit 300 wins other than Andy Pettitte.<br />
<br />
In Moyer's MLB career, he has appeared in one All-Star game and won one World Series ring. Moyer has played for the Cubs, Rangers, Cardinals, Orioles, Red Sox, Mariners and Phillies in his 24 MLB seasons. Moyer has a career record of 267-204 with an ERA of 4.24 in 686 MLB games.<br />
<br />
I hope to see Moyer recover and have a nice season next year and would like to thank him for taking the time to sign this card.Steven Mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02063787297998040065noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1489735222348861048.post-56622668251602923072010-11-20T16:45:00.000-05:002010-11-20T16:45:25.967-05:00Long, Overdue Winner of Contest<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMOHcmkjouLRCLVpwthELsboS06O1moihAKenEImLUxPYn27bG7K7pjlGzVdZoQj7ACqVNictkEzpR3QtWdK3NFL0J1eMfPCN7cS7czDnh5s8Lum_PceBZNes4Ou3TNK-UmX-ofPKNBX8L/s1600/IMG.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="228" ox="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMOHcmkjouLRCLVpwthELsboS06O1moihAKenEImLUxPYn27bG7K7pjlGzVdZoQj7ACqVNictkEzpR3QtWdK3NFL0J1eMfPCN7cS7czDnh5s8Lum_PceBZNes4Ou3TNK-UmX-ofPKNBX8L/s320/IMG.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>I apologize for taking so long to announce the winner of the contest. The winner is Mike aka BA Benny. I believe your favorite team is the Jets and already have your address so I'll get this out as soon as I can along with ten Jets cards.<br />
<br />
Also, it has been awhile since I posted daily, I plan to do that now that I have figured out the problem with my scanner. I have at least 20-30 TTMs from the break when I was not posting and I will have the first of those later today.<br />
<br />
Also, anyone interested in trading shoot me an e-mail, I'm always looking to add some cards to my collection and love to help others with there collection.Steven Mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02063787297998040065noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1489735222348861048.post-11963828010472440662010-11-06T17:51:00.000-04:002010-11-06T17:51:57.908-04:00A Bad Trip to TargetToday I took a trip to Target today in hopes of picking up some nice cards for my collection. I decided to buy one of those packages that has an autograph and four packs and costs 12 bucks. Then I also decided to pick up a value pack of this year's NBA Panini Prestige.<br />
<br />
So I started to open the 12 dollar autograph package first. I decided to save the autograph for last and open the four packs first. The packs included a 2007 Topps, a 2004 Donruss Studio, a 2007 Fleer Ultra and a 2008 Topps Stadium Club.<br />
<br />
In all of those packs which added up to 21 cards, I did not receive one Mets card or Red Sox and only two rookie cards. I was fine with that until I got to my autographed card.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCNygrGLJ9oVb98bUS05eHq6tgMnLFjDUoj2QhkzwC0xUE-9atabg_cRIw7mVee_LJX5KicfhrVziqvkVSGyW59u7rSFXx5XhmzTvOu0iQfsNyQdT0tKD3NU-7c_KbcMWKSDieQrs111hX/s1600/001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" px="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCNygrGLJ9oVb98bUS05eHq6tgMnLFjDUoj2QhkzwC0xUE-9atabg_cRIw7mVee_LJX5KicfhrVziqvkVSGyW59u7rSFXx5XhmzTvOu0iQfsNyQdT0tKD3NU-7c_KbcMWKSDieQrs111hX/s320/001.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>First off, I thought the card looked very nice. It had a jersey piece, a cut autograph and was numbered to 999. I really liked the card until I looked at the name on the card, Dave Crouthers. Crouthers was an Orioles prospect and never made it past Double-A. His career record in the minors was 30-25 with an ERA of 4.07. I like to collect minor leaguers but I would never pay twelve dollars for an autograph of a guy who never made in past Double-A and is already out of baseball. I know there are a bunch of Orioles collectors on here, to all Orioles collectors I'm sure you would like this card more than me, If you would like it just post a comment and we could make a deal. Needless to say, I probably will never buy this product again.<br />
<br />
Here are the two rookie cards:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjossktfcz_Qbz_B9tfHiMMiptOP4hThnPFz8mUU3BVhxh1dVZZrHiyKnx_lXe4oMKL4baAaGZgxpkgavP7oTf7FzyPxJ1SkwdWuicmVnISyvMCM_M62PTC_bnAepg9A6K-RWPVAd7Q81-g/s1600/002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" px="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjossktfcz_Qbz_B9tfHiMMiptOP4hThnPFz8mUU3BVhxh1dVZZrHiyKnx_lXe4oMKL4baAaGZgxpkgavP7oTf7FzyPxJ1SkwdWuicmVnISyvMCM_M62PTC_bnAepg9A6K-RWPVAd7Q81-g/s320/002.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
After that came the value pack of this year's NBA Panini Prestige, I really like the look of the cards and came away with a couple for my PC. I came away with a nice new Amare, Knicks card as well as some nice retired players, a Jordan Crawford rookie card and a Carl Landry numbered to 499. I have to say I was much happier with the Panini Value Pack then the 12 dollar autograph package. Here are the Crawford and Landry cards.<br />

After a while from the blogosphere I am back. When the sad news of the death of Sparky Anderson today I decided to induct him into the Everybody Loves Autos Hall of Fame. The Everybody Loves Autos Hall of Fame will consist of only players I have autographs of. Each month, I will post a poll with four players' names and you will decide which of those four should be inducted into the Everybody Loves Autos Hall of Fame. The players in the ELA Hall of Fame do not necessarily have to be in the Hall of Fame of their sport.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Now let's get to the first ever induction, Sparky Anderson. Sparky Anderson was not much of a player but man was he a hell of a manager. Anderson would carry his team into three World Series and was a two-time AL manager of the year. Anderson is sixth all-time in wins as a manager and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2000. I sent to Anderson earlier this year but he did not sign my card and just sent this index card with his first name signed in pen.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
Anderson passed away at the age of 76 today due to problems with dementia. I wish the Anderson family the best at this difficult time.</div>Steven Mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02063787297998040065noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1489735222348861048.post-56532512460185373272010-11-03T23:42:00.001-04:002010-11-03T23:44:15.187-04:00A Small Contest<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUrI4xp-ayfybvxwHKnffMprm8bDNHWsDtaSkBbjbos1XlrOQITVgHIOHbTfDlgrUg1BpGjJAA5Fkyc-tEtaIeNemtWPLjJbsnnBomjyI7wWX68m_6WykMTvO2bEVA_13DTjlW3YvB4bJ1/s1600/TOPPSFOOTBALLHOBBYBOX.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" px="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUrI4xp-ayfybvxwHKnffMprm8bDNHWsDtaSkBbjbos1XlrOQITVgHIOHbTfDlgrUg1BpGjJAA5Fkyc-tEtaIeNemtWPLjJbsnnBomjyI7wWX68m_6WykMTvO2bEVA_13DTjlW3YvB4bJ1/s1600/TOPPSFOOTBALLHOBBYBOX.jpg" /></a></div>Hello All! Steven back here. It has been nearly a month since I have posted due to the fact that my computer stopped working and it took quite a long time to get fixed as well as my scanner not working, which still is not working.<br />
<br />
So to all of those who continued to follow even though I had a lack of posts, I decided to make up a small contest. The winner will receive a 2010 Topps base of Ryan Grant numbered to 2010 as well as ten cards of their favorite team.<br />
<br />
Here's how the contest works, the person who comments below and picks what number out of 2010 closest to this particular card will be awarded the card and will also receive the ten cards of their favorite team. If their happens to be a tie, I will figure out what happens.<br />
<br />
The contest will close at 12:00 AM on Thursday of next week, the 11th.<br />
<br />
I wish you all the best and really hope to see someone hit the number right on the dot.Steven Mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02063787297998040065noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1489735222348861048.post-55687148621226581562010-10-08T20:55:00.001-04:002010-10-08T20:56:57.574-04:00TTM Success 10/7/10- Reds Future Star<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisIYpcJumxGO9KntILMHYwLjULI946DURFAsuz9PYB_VpGpStkiwZttXIwdkHNQgsfwa9mBkjP_UYM1gfwoxUUotehf6ng1BSwu0lrz-3ASvTs3ZJCh5dA5_ATohr32lJzXrwoUeUpUDwZ/s1600/001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ex="true" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisIYpcJumxGO9KntILMHYwLjULI946DURFAsuz9PYB_VpGpStkiwZttXIwdkHNQgsfwa9mBkjP_UYM1gfwoxUUotehf6ng1BSwu0lrz-3ASvTs3ZJCh5dA5_ATohr32lJzXrwoUeUpUDwZ/s320/001.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>Once again, I am showcasing my TTM a day late, somehow that always happens. This card is an autographed 2010 Allen & Ginter rookie card of Reds OF Drew Stubbs. As you can see, the scanner is still not working but I think I did a solid job at taking the photo but the photo does not do it justice, the auto looks amazing on the A&G.<br />
<br />
Stubbs is currently playing in his second season with the Reds but this year is his first full season. Stubbs played in 42 games last year with 180 at bats where he hit .267 with 17 RBIs and 8 home runs.<br />
<br />
Stubbs' power numbers went way up this year in which he hit .255 with 22 home runs and 77 RBIs. His team is currently down 1-0 but winning today’s game 4-3 in the 7<sup>th</sup> inning in the NLDS against the Phillies.<br />
<br />
I would like to thank Stubbs for taking the time to sign this card for my collection, especially during playoff time. I hope him and the Reds can pull a win tonight and win the series because man, do I hate the Phillies.Steven Mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02063787297998040065noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1489735222348861048.post-22523889301477713392010-10-06T17:15:00.001-04:002010-10-06T17:18:01.972-04:00Good Luck Brad!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxGLtwpz4UzeCpLyAyRv_NO0VpdVrck8eMmwG5Cn6GD-O61-zQMTNeATvH4j4riODZqEBtncs9ayoZiQyQtdaU8djU0pI3VDkPUHaFpT7sG3AJgBjkAjLmthlSlhE-7Plc1DQcO4bawZBQ/s1600/005.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ex="true" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxGLtwpz4UzeCpLyAyRv_NO0VpdVrck8eMmwG5Cn6GD-O61-zQMTNeATvH4j4riODZqEBtncs9ayoZiQyQtdaU8djU0pI3VDkPUHaFpT7sG3AJgBjkAjLmthlSlhE-7Plc1DQcO4bawZBQ/s320/005.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>It's been over a week since I posted, the main reason is because my scanner isn't working right but I decided until it was fixed I would just take the photos myself. This post is a bit late, I planned to do this on Monday but the scanner problems once again hurt my chances at a post. Well onto the auto, this post is in honor of the man pictured, Brad Ausmus.<br />
<br />
Ausmus retired from baseball on Sunday after playing 18 MLB seasons. Ausmus played for the Padres, Tigers, Astros and this season for the Dodgers. This season he played for the Dodgers but missed most of the season because of injury. In 71 at bats this season, Ausmus batted .222 with two RBIs.<br />
<br />
Brad had a hell of a career being a three-time Gold Glover and was an All-Star in 1999 with the Tigers. In a bit under 2,000 MLB games, Ausmus batted .251 with 80 home runs and 607 RBIs. Ausmus finishes his MLB career tenth all-time in fielding percentage at .994.<br />
<br />
I wish Brad all the best in his life after baseball and would like to thank him for taking the time earlier this season to sign this card for me. I personally think we will see Ausmus as a manager/coach in no time.Steven Mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02063787297998040065noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1489735222348861048.post-80250034518357709302010-09-29T19:20:00.000-04:002010-09-29T19:20:26.991-04:00Topps Gridiron Giveaway<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVOVusEZPeBrjROYspkMcLnZxvalZzB9u2b558QcnmMYCJUsWDVcGh3J3BxEW92XXnu4y9CSM12Md4dw4ObcjsRzxbspj6eJpCFBp_-YEJtXq6bJxQ4o2a73bHJDI6plbIc-57gLEqIdhN/s1600/BW.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" px="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVOVusEZPeBrjROYspkMcLnZxvalZzB9u2b558QcnmMYCJUsWDVcGh3J3BxEW92XXnu4y9CSM12Md4dw4ObcjsRzxbspj6eJpCFBp_-YEJtXq6bJxQ4o2a73bHJDI6plbIc-57gLEqIdhN/s320/BW.jpg" width="221" /></a></div>Recently I had a post about the Topps Million Card Giveaway. Well, today I put in a code in the Topps Gridiron Giveaway and came away with another dandy. The card above is a 1956 Topps Billy Wilson.<br />
<br />
Wilson was a wide receiver for the 49ers from 1951-1960. Wilson was also a six-time Pro Bowler. Wilson's career stats include 407 receptions for 5,902 yards with 49 touchdowns. Sadly, Wilson passed away last year. RIP Billy.<br />
<br />
Man, do I love these giveaways, sometimes the cards you get are junk but in lucky times you can get a nice, old card like this.

This TTM is from none other than Dallas Clark.<br />
<br />
Clark has been a member of the Colts since 2003 and has improved each year on the team. Last year, Clark had an astounding 100 receptions from star QB, Peyton Manning along with 1,106 receiving yards and ten touchdowns. Clark was named a Pro Bowler and was a First-Team NFL All-Pro.<br />
<br />
Clark already has 21 catches on the season with 207 yards and two touchdowns, which shows just how well he already is playing. I would like to thank Clark for taking the time to sign a card for my collection and I expect him to see him with another Pro Bowl season this year.Steven Mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02063787297998040065noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1489735222348861048.post-37037974329395266222010-09-26T16:36:00.002-04:002010-09-26T16:36:30.636-04:00Atlantic League Week, Part 2- Former Red Sox Prospect<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS1FZgY__VNtxOqAjhCpnK5ND7YH1bVhJ9w3F6FTjHb5HGF_oyXQWVa8iuoqlWynebTdA_g_xI1_QRqWDklnBZgwEMPTko3fWVEZ2jQwKofWreerKTb9vL-mSqnu8ZbISlMrRiZC2usf3O/s1600/IMG.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" px="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS1FZgY__VNtxOqAjhCpnK5ND7YH1bVhJ9w3F6FTjHb5HGF_oyXQWVa8iuoqlWynebTdA_g_xI1_QRqWDklnBZgwEMPTko3fWVEZ2jQwKofWreerKTb9vL-mSqnu8ZbISlMrRiZC2usf3O/s320/IMG.jpg" width="231" /></a></div>This is the second post of Atlantic League Week featuring Somerset Patriots IF Iggy Suarez. This was also the other card I got signed on Friday night. Last night, the Patriots tied the series against the York Revolution and will be playing the decisive game in less than an hour. After a rough Giants loss today, I hope my Somerset Patriots can get the win.<br />
<br />
Suarez had been in the Red Sox organization since 2003 until this year. Suarez had a career minor league average of .243 with 78 stolen bases and 251 RBIs. The highest Suarez got in the Red Sox organization was last year when he made it to the Pawtucket Red Sox, the Red Sox Triple-A team. Suarez had a solid season this year with the Patriots batting .266 with 30 RBIs. Suarez had been hitless in the playoffs until last night's win.<br />
<br />
I would like to thank Suarez for taking the time to sign for me before the game and hope he can help lead the Patriots to a big win today.Steven Mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02063787297998040065noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1489735222348861048.post-35705550902370853732010-09-25T13:04:00.002-04:002010-09-25T13:21:58.044-04:00Atlantic League Week, Part 1- A Former Met<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjMapazyq0Y6esvSYsCb-NefvcwDxSU5zKayLc9frMDpNFXmTGmW-fxYMHDIjQ8xrj1nuI9Lo03tA4UEG6DcymjOyOHPdV8FBE1LfwOVwlQ9g-lcPs4STVUiPOy02CL4FKK7wjS8X8Bcj7/s1600/IMG_0001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" px="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjMapazyq0Y6esvSYsCb-NefvcwDxSU5zKayLc9frMDpNFXmTGmW-fxYMHDIjQ8xrj1nuI9Lo03tA4UEG6DcymjOyOHPdV8FBE1LfwOVwlQ9g-lcPs4STVUiPOy02CL4FKK7wjS8X8Bcj7/s320/IMG_0001.jpg" width="224" /></a></div>This is my first post this week because I have been sick all week and just got better yesterday. I planned on having an Atlantic League Week showcasing all my autos from the Atlantic League due to the fact that the playoffs started this week. I decided I would still do it but start Atlantic League Week today. I went to game three of the Freedom Division series between the Somerset Patriots and York Revolution last night and obtained this autograph in person as well as another. I also saw that a fellow blogger went to game two (<a href="http://dionsipautosonly.blogspot.com/2010/09/somerset-patriots-york-9222010.html"><span style="color: red;">Dion's IP Autos</span></a>).<br />
<br />
Bill Pulsipher played for five different teams in his six season MLB career including playing for my, New York Mets. Pulsipher went 10-13 in his MLB career with an ERA of 5.15. Pulsipher was at one point supposed to be a savior for the Mets until he had to have Tommy John surgery after his rookie season. Pulsipher did not make it back in the pros until three years later.<br />
<br />
Pulsipher suffered many injuries in his MLB career and I have to think if he didn't he could have had a solid MLB career. Pulsipher is now a member of the Somerset Patriots where he went 5-1 with an ERA of 3.18. If he wasn't 36 I bet he would have a chance to make it back in an MLB orginazation.<br />
<br />
Pulsipher has given the Patriots there only win in the series so far with the Patriots being down 1-2 in the series with a game tonight. I hope they can get the next two games and go in to the Atlantic League Championship game. I would like to thank Pulsipher for taking the time to sign for me before the game last night.Steven Mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02063787297998040065noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1489735222348861048.post-8231810542722189542010-09-19T15:53:00.000-04:002010-09-19T15:53:29.339-04:00Topps Million Card Giveaway<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBqWxrVY7r_seSw6w_r2vQk1fwpbBpQWYshXf3v2ivy_EAg8BUNQFBsNnr5V63dggGKtsuy8D8VYpgcSn11lzdI5V12JdWWnU6KHOSfzkGVpxkpbkg1kTq4R__6dWwPokf3VPwg0d7OfdY/s1600/TK.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" qx="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBqWxrVY7r_seSw6w_r2vQk1fwpbBpQWYshXf3v2ivy_EAg8BUNQFBsNnr5V63dggGKtsuy8D8VYpgcSn11lzdI5V12JdWWnU6KHOSfzkGVpxkpbkg1kTq4R__6dWwPokf3VPwg0d7OfdY/s320/TK.jpg" /></a></div>This is my first post ever that will not include an autographed card. I was looking through my cards and found one of the Topps Million Card Giveaway inserts and was really psyched.<br />
<br />
I typed in the code and ended up getting this 1955 Ted Kazanski. I could not be happier with this card (well I could because I hate the Phillies) but it is now my oldest card in my collection. I have many cards from the 60's through now but did not have any prior to 1960.<br />
<br />
Kazanski played for the Phillies from 1953-1958 and his career stats include an average of .217 with 14 home runs and 116 RBIs in 417 games. I plan to get this card shipped to me right away and hope to get many more of these inserts.Steven Mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02063787297998040065noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1489735222348861048.post-41679083337282961312010-09-18T19:50:00.000-04:002010-09-18T19:50:28.416-04:00The Celtic Warrior/ WWE Champion<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6RghbgYxCDVwdV_HfBPUnItmbWq5NMlqJ3AOJS0JPY0J5N06huS8py2oAa4dcAMH5ic5Iaxzi3206e862-LEz8i3dfXw5aou1xEJ5RfzijL91acQTytnp4z9gHPnNVkVZ0hrx4TGNj76N/s1600/IMG.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="184" qx="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6RghbgYxCDVwdV_HfBPUnItmbWq5NMlqJ3AOJS0JPY0J5N06huS8py2oAa4dcAMH5ic5Iaxzi3206e862-LEz8i3dfXw5aou1xEJ5RfzijL91acQTytnp4z9gHPnNVkVZ0hrx4TGNj76N/s320/IMG.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>Most people do not know I am a wrestling fan probably due to the fact that I have never posted about it but I am a huge wrestling fan. If you’re a wrestling fan you know that tomorrow is the WWE's Night of Champions PPV so I decided to showcase these autographs today because these are of the current WWE champion, Sheamus.<br />
<br />
Sheamus, whose real name is Stephen Farrelly is now one of the top stars in the WWE after having a breakout year last year and is currently in his second reign as the WWE champ, with many more to come. Before coming to the WWE, Farrelly wrestled in Ireland and the WWE's developmental company, Florida Championship Wrestling where he was at one point the FCW Heavyweight Champion.<br />
<br />
I am a huge Sheamus fan and this is one of my favorite autographs in my collection and I would like to thank him for signing these cards.Steven Mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02063787297998040065noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1489735222348861048.post-4437755921583522102010-09-16T18:44:00.000-04:002010-09-16T18:44:44.629-04:00Twin's Star Pitcher<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgflbaDgo0-H-K2kVDORy_7SBRCqaeHHSl2Teuh5LJcfXjeuUNJ552f8k4ZGCp1AFv_71TJjBmqWgXYK4kmrpW7yqp2U-7JUqCm0nv-aF-oAYwgBlKBi8sDRGxi7gwddTKU3Uim0OVZalx5/s1600/IMG.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" qx="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgflbaDgo0-H-K2kVDORy_7SBRCqaeHHSl2Teuh5LJcfXjeuUNJ552f8k4ZGCp1AFv_71TJjBmqWgXYK4kmrpW7yqp2U-7JUqCm0nv-aF-oAYwgBlKBi8sDRGxi7gwddTKU3Uim0OVZalx5/s320/IMG.jpg" /></a></div>This post is to honor Twins starter, Brian Duensing who increased his number of wins to nine last night.<br />
<br />
Duensing is having a real breakout season this year after being moved from the bullpen to the starting rotation. Last season, he went 5-2 with a 3.64 ERA in 24 games, nine of those being starts.<br />
<br />
Duensing was already having quite a good season before being moved to the starting rotation but since being a starter Duensing has looked like a future All-Star. Duensing is 9-2 on the season with a 2.07 ERA in 50 games, ten of those being starts.<br />
<br />
Duensing has had an amazing season and all I see is more good things to come. Also, I recently received a message about what I have for trade, I'm working on that right now and hopefully will have a post up about that this weekend.Steven Mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02063787297998040065noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1489735222348861048.post-80698717378142199732010-09-13T19:20:00.003-04:002010-09-13T23:17:15.302-04:00Trade With BA Benny<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">This is my first post that is not completely about autographs.

This is an autographed photo of Yankees outfielder, Curtis Granderson. Granderson does not sign any cards TTM but sends back the card you sent and this 4x6.<br />
<br />
Granderson is currently is his first year with the Yankees after six seasons with the Tigers where he has batted .246 with 17 home runs and 48 RBIs. He was an All-Star last season and has led the MLB in triples once and the American League twice.<br />
<br />
I am a big Granderson fan even though I hate the Yankees and appreciate that he took the time to sign the photo.Steven Mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02063787297998040065noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1489735222348861048.post-77020699281047076042010-09-08T21:36:00.000-04:002010-09-08T21:36:14.435-04:00Atlantic League All-Star<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-BY177tTF23H3hqK-1MGA85Tt55-dnJ3KPfGgfzV-b4yJU5pHwqH1t8X_2Fi4bTL2sdX2E5qrIMUOpEdCfnI3HHLx6zN0HpYPmPYPu6LWly6L9GxTi0FGaqGfRejCp0GzcU5dGsFgQgmF/s1600/IMG.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ox="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-BY177tTF23H3hqK-1MGA85Tt55-dnJ3KPfGgfzV-b4yJU5pHwqH1t8X_2Fi4bTL2sdX2E5qrIMUOpEdCfnI3HHLx6zN0HpYPmPYPu6LWly6L9GxTi0FGaqGfRejCp0GzcU5dGsFgQgmF/s320/IMG.jpg" /></a></div>I decided to post this card today because last night the man featured on this card, Jason Perry of the Lancaster Barnstormers hit his 22nd home run which is second in the Atlantic League.<br />
<br />
Perry has been a member of the Blue Jays, A's, Tigers, Rays and Braves organization. Perry has only played in one MLB season and that was with the Braves in 2008 where he had 17 at bats and batted .118 with an RBI. Hey, if he never makes it back to the bigs he'll always be able to say he had an RBI in the MLB.<br />
<br />
Perry has played in the Atlantic League the past two seasons having an amazing season this year batting .295 with 22 home runs and 72 RBIs.<br />
<br />
Perry could be back in an MLB organization next season if he continues his play. Perry signed this for me earlier this season and could not have been a nicer guy, so I wish him all the best and hope to see him with an MLB team soon.Steven Mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02063787297998040065noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1489735222348861048.post-89948751882601672832010-09-07T22:47:00.001-04:002010-09-07T22:49:01.162-04:00Flowers Back in the Bigs<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeklAvbSiQhzcK9tQeX3oLsLf690uQV5baPno4t3DMBDZINvfaD9OdLftuPsqiF5iC7s881vtpa8WMlKFbguUfnZYDbiZlLJvbSi6kPV7NEgXeECgBwkmk4Wc_GxyXSVnZtjTvwQKhfi2J/s1600/IMG.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ox="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeklAvbSiQhzcK9tQeX3oLsLf690uQV5baPno4t3DMBDZINvfaD9OdLftuPsqiF5iC7s881vtpa8WMlKFbguUfnZYDbiZlLJvbSi6kPV7NEgXeECgBwkmk4Wc_GxyXSVnZtjTvwQKhfi2J/s320/IMG.jpg" /></a></div>This post is in honor of White Sox catcher, Tyler Flowers who played in his first game of the 2010 MLB season today.<br />
<br />
Flowers is currently playing in his second MLB season but it is technically his first due to the fact that he only had 16 at bats last season. Next year, will probably be his first MLB season because I highly doubt that he will get the amount of at bats needed to no longer be a rookie in just a month.<br />
<br />
Flowers has been in the top hundred prospects according to Baseball America the past two years, being rated 99th last year and 60th this year. Prior to September callups, Flowers played for the White Sox Triple-A team, the Charlotte Knights where he batted .220 with 16 home runs and 53 RBIs.<br />
<br />
I hope to see Flowers have a great September.Steven Mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02063787297998040065noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1489735222348861048.post-7521062325423910152010-09-06T16:04:00.000-04:002010-09-06T16:04:54.384-04:00TTM Success 9/3/10- A Former All-Star<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizPKsyjmHEoga1H3Ey925ZL0aAurkzcZ_mqC6VGZrbzzXZ4SCRf09MyjzJv-9-dJllPgC4WlpQk5X9ZkBD3dUtmM-5wIgblat7OuCrLQ-0G3suxtdXoxOf_880srdRg9UMEtTTx29eTWE6/s1600/IMG.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ox="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizPKsyjmHEoga1H3Ey925ZL0aAurkzcZ_mqC6VGZrbzzXZ4SCRf09MyjzJv-9-dJllPgC4WlpQk5X9ZkBD3dUtmM-5wIgblat7OuCrLQ-0G3suxtdXoxOf_880srdRg9UMEtTTx29eTWE6/s320/IMG.jpg" /></a></div><br />
This is my last TTM I received in the mail last week. This card is autographed by Mariners 2B, Chone Figgins.<br />
<br />
Figgins is currently in his first year with the Mariners after eight years with the Angels. He is currently batting .245 with 32 RBIS and 35 stolen bases, which ranks eight in the MLB, seventh in the American League. Figgins is always near the top in stolen bases and even finished in first in 2005 with 62.<br />
<br />
Figgins was an All-Star last year with the Angels and has finished in the top 25 for AL MVP four times being 24th in 2004, 17th in 2005, 20th in 2007 and 10th last year.<br />
<br />
If Figgins picks his average up could be an All-Star again and I appreciate that Figgins took the time to sign this awesome Allen & Ginter for my collection.Steven Mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02063787297998040065noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1489735222348861048.post-69999563411300101472010-09-05T17:21:00.003-04:002010-09-05T17:26:57.801-04:00TTM Success 9/2/10- Sharpley as a Tack<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwha565pV0023gfI4egL6NqRmt-62II5gMuvQ6vgHbHFYmeY2iL_L6FTH_0mZuOBO_fmp1OVUcJL391W2XDagrv1a7B79PA7Lrqje59Go1tYgQy5DmnLxp9Uw1MlxBHh1XnM0jrRhN1XGV/s1600/IMG_0003.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ox="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwha565pV0023gfI4egL6NqRmt-62II5gMuvQ6vgHbHFYmeY2iL_L6FTH_0mZuOBO_fmp1OVUcJL391W2XDagrv1a7B79PA7Lrqje59Go1tYgQy5DmnLxp9Uw1MlxBHh1XnM0jrRhN1XGV/s320/IMG_0003.jpg" /></a></div>This is a TTM I received on Thursday, I still have one more TTM to post from last week which will be posted tomorrow and it is a dandy.<br />
<br />
This card is autographed by Mariners' infield prospect, Even Sharpley. Sharpley is currently in his second league of professional baseball. He had quite a good season last year on the Mariners' Arizona League team where he batted .333 with seven home runs and 29 RBIs. His numbers have gone down this season batting .235 with 6 home runs and 42 RBIs, which ranks tied for fifth in the Northwest League.<br />
<br />
One thing that is interesting about Sharpley is that he was once Jimmy Clausen's back-up at Notre Dame and even started a few games for the Fighting Irish.<br />
<br />
I love when guys personalize autos so that is a plus to this card, also I think if Sharpley gets that average up he could be a star one day and I appreciate that he took time to sign this card for my collection.Steven Mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02063787297998040065noreply@blogger.com0
