PGA Championship

Yesterday I spent the day at the PGA Championship at Aronimink Golf Course in Newtown Square, PA.  It was a practice day so no real schedule most players played 9 holes either the front or back and spent a lot of time near and on the greens to do there homework and to take notes as most of the players have never played this course.  I went early and stayed late arrived at course a little after 8 AM and left at 7 PM. Apparently the shuttle end a couple minutes before I got to pick up which just added adventure to the day as there was about 10 of us so we walked to where the roads were open as they closed all roads around the course and found an Uber driver to take 4 of us to Delaware Community college about 3.5 miles away where we had parked. As for the autographing it started very slow as the only players signing were the club pros who had qualified, but it picked up a bit and I was able to get about 52 people in total and 71 total autographs see below for the list of who and pictures of the items plus some pictures of some of the players.

Thrift Store Pick-up

My wife found these 2 balls at a thrift store on Saturday she paid 25 cents each.  The first is an Official American League baseball with 4 signatures all are easy to tell as I have them all from local signings in the past.  The 4 are Brooks Robinson, Boog Powell, Elrod Hendricks & The (Oriole) Bird.  The other ball has what appears to be 7 signatures but are in thick black sharpie and I don't know any of them so let me know if you recognize any of them. Pictures below of both balls and all 11 autographs. Any time you can get a Hall of Famer for a quarter that's a win.

Adisa Isaac

I made a 1 card purchase from Signatures for Soldiers (@Sigs4Soldiers) on X and I received it today in the mail. He sells autographs with the proceeds going to help out veterans so this was a double great deal added this 2024 Panini Zenith # 102 & #'d 70/99 to the Ravens autograph PC and the money went to a good cause.

Tony Fossas

On Saturday I went to York for after the game autographs was really looking to get Tony Fossas as I have 14 different cards of him he was nice enough to sign a page of 9 and said I'll get the rest tomorrow.  I'm not going tomorrow but should be able to get him in Lancaster.  See the picture below of the 9 he signed.

Staten Island & Lancaster

Over the weekend I went to Lancaster for some pregame autographs I got the 4 players I had cards of for Lancaster and only saw 1 guy from Staten Island which was Blake Rutherford there was others on the roster but didn't see them so maybe hurt.  A total of 5 players and 16 autographs,  See the listing and picture below.

1. Blake Rutherford - 9 Cards.
2. Mark Johnson - 1 Card.
3. A.J. Alexy - 2 Cards.
4. Luke Albright - 2 Cards.
5. Andrew Schultz - 2 Cards.
