Finally I got Mark Reed I have been following since 2009 and never got a chance to get him in person. I sent these cards to the Arizona Diamondbacks and I am glad to get a 1952 custom back because I have been making a lot of them so look out for them coming up. The 1952 is also some new paper, same as my Tim Dennehy cards. Mark Reed was a 3rd round pick in 2004 by the Cubs and was in their organization until 2011 where he spent the 2011 and 2012 seasons in Diamondbacks Minor Leagues then became their MLB Bullpen Catcher. Thanks Mark and good luck. 

TTM Success Joe Wendle

A great return on a Bowman and two custom cards of Indians top prospect, Joe Wendle. Joe signed and returned my cards in 19 days sent c/o the Akron RubberDucks (Indians AA.) Joe was drafted in the 6th round of the 2012 MLB First Year Player Draft by the Indians out of West Chester University of Pennsylvania. Joe Wendle is currently on the DL for the RubberDucks with a finger injury and is supposed to come off the DL any day now. Thanks Joe and good luck.

IP Tim Dennehy OPRF Summer Ball Autograph 6/26/14

 Tim Dennehy Chandler-Gilbert Community College Coyotes custom baseball card
 Tim Dennehy Staten Island Yankees 1970 Topps Custom Card
Tim Dennehy Oak Park and River Forest Huskies 1963 Topps custom card

I got an easy autograph today from my Summer Baseball coach at OPRF, Tim Dennehy. Tim Dennehy is a former graduate from OPRF and was drafted by the Cleveland Indians in the 19th round out of his senior year of High School in 2005 but did not sign. The following year at Chandler-Gilbert Community College in Chandler Arizona, the Yankees selected him in the 26th round of the 2006 MLB First Year Player Draft and signed. Tim spent the 2007 season with the GCL Yankees and the 2008 season with the Staten Island Yankees and ended up being released and moved onto play independently with the Southern Illinois Miners and Windy City Thunderbolts in 2009 then to be retired. He now coaches the Varsity pitchers during the regular season and the incoming sophomores (like me) during the summer. Thanks Tim!

Juan is in his 5th professional season and is moving up in the ranks if the Mets organization.
