Trevor Gretzky 1973 Topps Chicago Cubs custom card

A great return today from former Cubs prospect and son of Hockey legend Wayne Gretzky. Trevor Gretzky signed my cards sent c/o the Orem Owlz, the Angels Low A. This spring while I was in Arizona Trevor was traded to the Angels for Matt Scioscia the son of the Angels manager Mike Scioscia. I have seen Trevor at the Cubs minor league facility for years and I am glad I finally got his autograph. Thanks Trevor and good luck.

TTM Success Alex Jackson

A GREAT return today from Alex Jackson the 6th overall pick of the 2014 draft. Alex signed my cards c/o the AZL Mariners and did not sign any of my customs but did sign and personalize my 2013 Leaf Perfect game card 'To: Jackson --- Good luck man" which I think is so cool because one day he will be the next Mike Trout and this will be a good card to have. I saw Alex play at the Under Armour All-American game and got his auto then. I am really psyched about this return thanks Alex and good luck.

A great return today from Mets 3rd round draft pick (84th overall) who signed my three cards sent c/o the GCL Mets. Milton was drafted out of American Heritage High School and was a Under Armour All-American last August so I got to see him play and a chance to get his autograph. Milton added in a letter giving me some great advice which is always appreciated. Thanks Milton and good luck with the Mets.

TTM Success Gosuke Katoh

Gosuke Katoh 2008 Topps New York Yankees custom card orange border

Gosuke Katoh returned two of my four cards signed but they are both cool so I'll probably sent them out next spring. Gosuke Katoh was a 2013 2nd round draft pick to the Yankees and signed these cards sent c/o the Charleston River Dogs in about a month. Gosuke is not 100% Japanese being born in California and playing for Team USA but has made trips over to Japan for baseball and is fluent in the language. Thanks Gosuke and good luck.

Art Ditmar Kansas City Athletics Custom Card

These are some of the first customs I ever made so you can tell that they aren't very creative but I am glad to get them back. Art Ditmar did not play in the 1951-1952 seasons because he was in the Military service but played from 1954-1962 with the Philadelphia/Kansas City Athletics and New York Yankees. Art signed these cards sent c/o his home. Thanks Art.

TTM Success Ti'Quan Forbes

 Ti'Quan Forbes 2013 Leaf Perfect Game baseball card

 Ti'Quan Forbes 1963 Topps Columbia High School Perfect Game Custom Card

Ti'Quan Forbes 1952 Topps Perfect Game Custom Card

A great return today from Ti'Quan Forbes the Rangers 2nd round pick (59th overall) out of Columbia High School in Columbia, Mississippi and is currently playing for the AZL Rangers which is where I sent these cards. Ti'Quan was a Rawlings Perfect Game All-American in 2013 and it is hard to believe he is two years and a couple days older than me probably making him the youngest autograph I have but I am not certain. This was one of my many good successes from today so stay tuned. Thanks TQ and good luck.

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.

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.

 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!
