TTM Success Matt Fields

Matt Fields 1976 Topps Custom card

Matt was kind of a Joliet Slammer in 2011 he was invited to Spring Training but was Traded to the Southern Illinois Miners but was then signed by the Royals. He signed 1/5 and this was one of my first customs I ever made so this is a long return. He signed c/o the Omaha Storm Chasers and this is a end of the season return. Thanks Matt I will send to him again in Spring.

I am kinda happy about this one because I got two of these cards signed in person signed two days ago but I can send him some more ones next year with who ever he is with but it is not bad to have extras. Tsuyoshi is done for the season and probably heading back to Japan so he probably cleaned out his locker and sent them to me I just wished he had last week. He signed these sent c/o the Cubs and is a pretty good TTM signer, Thanks Tsuyoshi and good luck.

IP Chicago Cubs Autograph Baseball Card Recap at Wrigley Field 9/23/14

Chicago, IL--- It was a great success I also want to give a shout out to Cardinals fan, Gil for hooking me up with the Jose Castro cards if you read this please let me know I am very grateful for you giving me the Jose Castro cards it was a great gesture. I got a lot of guys today this is the first time all year where I could get there in time for the Cubs before the game and stay after usually traffic is horrible. Here is what I got it was a great walk off win too. You will notice that these are not great designs because iOS 8 ruined everything that's all I am going to say about that. I lost all of my templates for cards.

I am pumped to get this card back. This is Mike Nikorak, Under Armour All-American, Perfect Game All-American Projected #10 Overall pick in the 2015 Draft. Oh yeah, he is still in High School too. He is a Senior right now and signed my cards with his cool signature and put an All-American inscription on all of them and he even posted these on his Instagram. His 97 MPH fastball made scouts take notice to him this summer and was dominant at the Under Armour game where pitching tended to be dominant over hitting and I also got his autograph there. Thanks Mike, this is a good one to get and I hope you can move up a little more in the Draft so the Cubs can snag you. Good Luck.

IP Arismendy Alcantara Autograph Signing at Sports Authority big success 9/19/14

Chicago, IL--- Arismendy Alcantara was signing autographs at Sports Authority so I had to make my way over there and get some things signed I got some customs and I wanted to print some extras so I made some for my dad and I gave my dad an official Minor League Baseball to get signed because we do not care if it is a ROMLB its a baseball just get it signed or throw/hit it. He was really nice but I am not sure if it was Arismendy's Agent or if a Sports Authority Representative but he was nasty he told Arismendy to stop inscribing my card because he wanted to get everybody through the line.... There were 4 people behind me and 40 minutes to go but what ever it worked out. Here is what I got:

 Arismendy Alcantara 2013 Grandstand Tennessee Smokies Team Set Baseball card

IP Andre Ethier autograph Recap at Wrigley Field Cubs vs. Dodgers 9/18/14 baseball cards

Wrigley Field-- I finally made it to the Cubs game when you can go down and get autographs because the traffic getting to Wrigley is SOOOO bad I can't make it usually. I was late getting there but I did make it there and I got Andre Ethier on two cards. He would have signed more but I only brought two. Here they are:

 Andre Ethier 2013 Topps Opening Day Los Angeles Dodgers baseball card

Thanks Andre you were very nice and happy to sign. I always appreciate when everyday big leaguers take the time to go down the line and sign for people and you were smart to go to me first. I'll be rooting for you. Good luck.

Andrew Godbold: OPRF Graduate, Dodgers Prospect, Nice Guy gave me a house visit

Oak Park, IL-- Andrew Godbold graduated from my high school (Oak Park and River Forest High School) in 2010 and was well regarded by our OPRF Baseball organization and got very little college attention and ended up going to Junior College and got picked up by Southeastern Louisiana University and really proved him self and got drafted by the Dodgers in 23rd round of the 2014 MLB First Year Player Draft. A couple weeks ago I reached out to to Andrew on Instagram and I told him that I had designed some custom cards of him and he told me I could send him the cards sent c/o Ogden or meet him in person. I decided to meet him in person and he said he could come over to my house and I said ok and last Thursday he came over and signed my 12 customs and I gave him some of the extras that I printed. Today he came back to my house and I made him 40 cards and gave him some of my business cards to take to Instructs for the Dodgers and I hope to hear back from some of those players.

Here are some of the gifts he brought me.

 He signed Official Pioneer League Game-Used ball on the sweetspot #50

 All three things he brought me including his game used Home-Run bat signed, yes one of the home runs he hit he used this bat. And the 2014 Teamset card for ogden.

Here is a close up of the signature and the bat he gave me.
