Hall of Fame return! Bobby Doerr is the oldest living Hall of Famer at age 96. He signed my three customs and the back of my 1955 Bowman c/o his home. Bobby Doerr was inducted into the Cooperstown Baseball Hall of Fame in 1986. I am so excited when ever I get a hall of famer back so this is a great return. Thanks Bobby, still kicking it at age 96 lets make it to 100.

 Matt Davidson 2010 South Bend Silver Hawks Team set card
Matt Davidson 2010 Bowman Chrome RC Arizona Diamondbacks

Matt Davidson returned my four cards sent c/o the Charlotte Knights of the Chicago White Sox organization. You may notice that Matt is a D-Back in all of these cards that is because last season he was traded from Arizona to Chicago for Addison Reed. Those two were working out together on Intentional Talk when Matt Davidson was being interviewed, Addison Russell showed up. I didn't make any White Sox customs so I could stay a proud Cubs Fan. Matt played in the Majors last season with AZ but hasn't been called up to Chicago this season. Thanks Matt and good luck.

Jacksons Autos: Javier Baez getting first shot in the MLB

Denver, CO-- Javy is the #5 prospect in the MLB and the Cubs #2 prospect behind Kris Bryant. Although Baez was not the nicest in Spring Training but I hope he will help the Cubs in the future.
