Ebay Pickup of a another Cameron Varga printing plate

Cameron Varga 2014 Leaf Trinity Relic printing plate AUTO baseball card

I saw this on ebay with 15 mins left on it and at $3.80 so I placed a bid for .20 and I waited it out to make sure nobody sniped a bid and I got another Cameron Varga printing plate which is cool because I am a big fan of his. This is a nice addition and I hope to keep getting some more printing plates in my collection. Nice steal.

This is a nice return from local baseball player Anthony Ray!

He is good friends with MLB All-Star, Curtis Granderson and his father was a minor leaguer too. He went to St. Rita High School which my high school faces frequently in all of our sports. Thanks so much Anthony these are really cool gloves thanks so much! I will be getting you your cards shortly.

Louis Silverio signed my 8 customs c/o his home in Florida and this is a cool story. I followed his Instagram account and he followed me back and like an hour after he followed me he sent me a direct message asking if I could make him some cards and I said sure but could you sign a copy of the fronts for me first and he said yeah sure so he emailed me these photos and I made them into cards and I used a lot of my own designs which I will be using more of from now on and I sent these off to him and he sent them back today so I will finish these up and I will get him a copy of these to have. I also have some other players who want cards done that I am working on too. Louis's father was a MLB coach and Louis was drafted this year and this was his first pro season so I hope to catch up with him at spring training. Thanks Louis and good luck!

Autographed card of the week: Manuel Corpas

Manuel Corpas 2009 Topps World Baseball Classic baseball card

I was just looking through my books of autos and I came across his cards. I remember when he signed for me it was in 2012 at HoHoKam park in Mesa AZ and I wanted some shade from the blistering heat and I went to get some shade and I was by the players exit and he walked out of the locker room and I approached him and handed him a stack of cards to sign and he handed me the box in his hands (It had a cell phone and a baseball in it) and took his time and signed my cards and took his time on all of them. I always like guys that sign multiples and take the time like that and this was my first World Baseball Classic card I got signed. Thanks Manny!

I have quite the collection of cards of Gray hitting double digits in cards I have signed by him. Gray was part of the Under Armour Game and played on the Team USA 18u team as well. He is a projected 1st round pick in 2015. Great return thanks Gray!

I got a holiday note from Justin Hooper!

The letter I received in the mail today from Justin Hooper.

I wrote Justin in October asking for him to sign my cards and he wrote back asking for a copy so I promptly finished up the cards and sent him a copy. Today in the mail in an envelope addressed from him he sent me this. It is always cool when players remember you and write you back it is really cool of him. We are going to keep in touch and I hope the Cubs get him as their 1st round pick because I really like him but I hope the Cubs draft everybody there are a lot of guys I like in this draft. Thanks for remembering me Justin and good luck!

Those are the autos I think they are really cool ,  there are some nice old cards in there and some odd balls.

Here is some more stuff.

 My cousin's fiancé gave me a  photo he got signed by Sammy Sosa

 He also gave me his baseball card collection which is really cool there are a lot of good stuff in there which I will TTM and get IP.

 I also got some Japanese baseball cards I don't know who they are everything is in Japanese so if anyone speaks Japanese please shoot me an email. I would greatly appreciate any help.

I also did a box break of 2014 Bowman Draft:

 From top left to bottom right
Milton Ramos GREEN 82/150, Justin Steele, Mark Zagunis, Carson Sands BLUE 146/399, Justin Steele Chrome REF, Kyle Schwarber Chrome, Jake Stinnet, C.J. Ewwards, Kris Bryant Chrome.

 Miguel Sano Mini, Nick Gordon Draft, Jeff Hoffman Chrome REF, Ryan McMahon Die cut, Braxton Davidson Chrome REF, Sean Newcomb mini, Sean Coyle cracked ice, Erick Fedde chrome REF, Kohl Stewart Chrome REF

 Michael Chavis Chrome REF, Austin Meadows Throwback, Bobby Brantley cracked ice, Jorge Alfaro Chrome REF, Kevin Padlo Chrome REF, Jacob Gatewood Draft, Chad Wallach insert, Michael Chavis & Michael Kopech Draft, Justin Williams insert.

Albert Almora, Chad Sobotka AUTO, Dylan Cease Chrome.

The one thing I don't like about this set is the little time they put on the backs it really shows I like the old backs that had information and stats these had neither. As a card maker this is disappointing to me.

This is all I am going to show and I will be getting these Cubs cards signed at Cubs Convention and Spring Training and in South Bend.

Thanks for looking at this post and don't forget to follow this blog and subscribe by email for all of my autographs.
