I want to tonight's game and did pregame autographs I was able to get all 8 players I had items for and a total of 35 autographs. The following is a list of the players and items signed along with pictures.
I won an auction on Pristine Auctions for this 8x10 signed by Scottish Golfer Richie Ramsay. It was basically free when I used a promo credit code. So not bad for nothing it is also certified by Beckett.
I went to the July 3rd game against Lancaster and did autographs before and after the game I was able to get 7 Players and a total of 18 autographs. below is a list of who and what I got signed along with a picture of the items.
I bought this 2023 Leaf Draft autograph of Thomas Incoom cost was about cost of a stamp. Thomas is currently with the Carolina Panthers. See picture of the card below.
Mike went to the Orioles game last Friday and they have alumni signers and he was nice enough to pick me up this Al Bumbry signed postcard.
I made a trade with @kg49ers on X. It started out for 2 autographs he had posted but it turned into 23 autographs so a nice deal and additions to the collection they are all baseball and the detailed list and a picture of the is below.
Mike and I went to the Draft League game last night in Frederick vs Williamsport had no cards of any of the players and no coaches for Williamsport but I did have some of both Frederick coaches Preston Wilson (Manager) who was 1 per person Mike got 1 for me as well and Jimmy Nelson (Pitching Coach) did 3 per person. Also, it was wrestling night and they had an appearance by WWE Superstar Mickie James I was able to get the game program cover which she was on and 2 4x6 pictures signed, Not a bad night but for the game lightning came for a delay so we left and then the rains came and the game was cancelled. See below for a few pictures of Jimmy Nelson, Mickie James signing & throwing out 1st pitch along with the items signed.

Wednesday night I went to Lancaster for the Staten Island game mainly for 1 player Adalberto Mejia who didn't travel with team to York but I saw he pitched on Tuesday in Lancaster so assumed he was there I was wrong as he left before the game so once again wasn't with the team. So was only able to get Pablo Sandoval Card #'d /999 and 3 4x6 pictures of Kirby Snead 1 with each MLB team he has played for below see a picture of the items.
I made 3 purchases on EBay for 3 autographed football cards each had free shipping so I basically got these for less than the cost to ship them or the cost of a stamp each is a 2021 Sage Premier Draft.
On Saturday I received a TTM I sent out I usually don't do these but Kurt Benkert who I follow on X gave his address out publicly so I had 3 of his cards so I sent them out. The cards are 3 different 2018 rookies 1 Prestige and 2 different Score nice additions to the collection. See a picture of the cards below.
I received a card that I had claimed a couple weeks ago on X as part of the Thread #PWEFriday this one came from @KevinSpollen and is a nice Telvin Smith Panini Playbook #'d 27/99, see picture of the card below.

Thursday night I went to the stadium for post game autographs and was able to get 2 autographs 1 from Pablo Sandoval a card /599 and Kirby Snead a 3x5. Kirby I got in the pen right after the game he was waiting to get ready to go in the game if needed but never happened as the and game ended 12-4 York made 3 outs easily so when he signed he gave me the ball he had in his hand as well. below picture of the ball and the autos.
I went to Lancaster on Tuesday night for pregame autographs didn't have a lot actually only 2 people both coaches Arthur Rhodes (6 Cards) there pitching coach and the new Manager Shane Turner (2 cards & Phillies logo) I was able to get both no problem below is what I got signed by them and a couple picture of former MLB pitcher Mike Kickham. Also, got a batting practice ball.

Here are a couple pictures from the Game Mark and I attended the day of the AC/DC concert Wednesday May 28, 2025. It was a good game Dodgers leading most of the way the Guardians score 5 in the 8th to get the win 7-4.
Mark and I took a road trip to catch the last USA AC/DC show of the current tour and maybe last ever as Brian Johnson is 77 and Angus Young is 70. The opening act for the concert was The Pretty Reckless. We left Wednesday morning and made the 5 1/2 hour trip from PA to Cleveland. I saw that the Guardians were hosting the Dodgers at 1:10 as well so we made sure we left early enough to make the game and then we went to dinner and made the concert all worked out extremely well from the drive to the hotel to getting parking making the game and walking to the other stadium and having dinner to walking back to the car and back to the hotel was all smooth and went as well as it could have. Below a couple pictures from the game and the concert along with links to the set-lists and and some videos from the show.

I made a small X trade with @MBalsley My side was this Grayson Long 2017 Bowman Chrome /250.
A buddy of mine collects signed video game cartridges and had sent 2 to Jack Nicklaus and got them back and had PSA Authenticate and passed. He mentioned that he doesn't sign trading cards but I also collect Sports Illustrated Cover which I had 4 unsigned. So about 6 weeks ago I sent out 2 SI magazines and was pleasantly surprised today opening the front door to find the large envelope laying on my porch with Jack Nicklaus as the sender. Jack signed both Mags and returned them in the postage paid envelope I sent along. Very nice to get these signed I had meet him once at a senior PGA event probably in the early 1990's but I didn't get his autograph at that time, so it's nice to cross off the Hall of Famer from my golf list and add him to the collection. I usually don't do TTM but am taking this as a W since it's from the Golf GOAT!
