Orioles Breakfast

My buddy Mike who is a season ticket holder was invited to a breakfast with the Baltimore Orioles and he needed a second so I went along with him.  It was held at the B&O train Museum and featured a buffet and appearance by 2 players 2019 All-Star John Means &  Branden Kline along with The Orioles Bird.  It was a good time and filled a Saturday morning that really didn't have anything to do. 

Carter Hart

I was looking for an autographed Carter Hart card as a Flyers fan he appears to be the next big thing at age 21 and a starting Goalie in the NHL at age 20 we can only hope he becomes the guy we have been looking for years maybe a couple decades. I had been seeing this card a 2018-19 Upper Deck Premier Hockey # 92 selling for about $60 plus shipping and was able to get this from a Twitter seller for about $45 shipped.

Phillies Winter Caravan

Last night Mike and I went to the Crown Plaza in Reading, PA for the stop of the winter caravan.  this is an event that includes food and sampling of beer from Saint Boniface a local micro-brew giveaways and guests and a short autograph session.  I was able to get all of the guest that were at the event.   The guests included Joe Girardi (Sports Illustrated Cover), Vince Velasquez (8x10), Roman Quinn (Card & Postcard), Ben Davis (Blank), Steve Jeltz (Flyer) & Greg Edge (2 Cards). Here are pictures of the items I was able to signed.

Kevin Mawae

I added HOFer Kevin Mawae from EBay to the collection he is the 199th Football Hall of Famer I have an autograph of so who will be # 200?  It was a total of $4.40 shipped, so not to bad for the  HOF class of 2019 member.

Twitter Win

I won a giveaway on twitter from @BrettCrabtree3 for some Colts items that included A Zach Pascal autographed picture a Pat McAfee Jersey and a pendant.  Then he threw in a Pierre Desir autographed 8x10. Thanks Brett for the nice little package and the extra autograph.

AFC Divisional Game

Disappointing, Disappointing, Disappointing.  Ok I'm over it Last night Dave and I went to the Titans/Ravens playoff game we did autographs before and after.  Game was no what was expected but the weather was nice for January 12th in Baltimore 73 degrees.  I was able to get 36 players and 46 total autographs.  Plus also got a Glove from Titans Isaiah Mack and a Grip Boost towel from the Ravens.

I received this 2018-19 Panini Prizm Bruce Brown Autograph from John @SwantonCards from twitter, a nice pick up of someone I didn't have in the collection.

Twitter Purchase

Started off as a 2 card purchase wound up being a 9 card purchase total was a little under $2 per card.
Included are a Fedde Jersey, Allard double Jersey, McGuire #'d /25 & a couple #'d Inception cards.

EBay purchase

I bought an 11 card autograph lot as the normal these days cost more for shipping and taxes then the actual auction price. Years are from 2003-2018 Some are #'d from /50, /250 & /275.

Emmett Zitelli

Emmett was a Raven in 1999 that I never got his autograph.  So needed 1 for the all-time roster collection saw a 3x5 on EBay for $19.95 (which is robbery ) so I offered $4 shipped and seller took it, So cross one of the list.

2020

Happy New Years to everyone happy collecting in the coming year.
