2021 Topps Luminaries

On August 18, 2021 I received a DM on Twitter from @Topps that I had won a box of 2021 Luminaries which was very exciting since this is a product that is priced out of my budget for box buying as they are in the $350-400.  Keep in mind that these boxes contain a grand total of 1 Card either an autograph or an autographed relic.  I watched some YouTube breaks of this product and there was some really great stuff pulled and then there was some like Mark Teixeira so was hoping for a big pull with this one. Package came FedEx with the crunched corner was a little worried but box inside was fine! See below for the pull that I got from this premium product.  I'm very happy with this pull was hoping for maybe a Mike Trout but still a nice HOFer!

BMW Championship W/Lots of pictures

A friend of mine was volunteering to work the BMW Championship tournament so I decided to take a day off and try to do some autographing at the PGA playoff stop at the Caves Valley in Owings Mills, MD.  The tournament had issued a NO Autograph policy but most players were happy to stop and sign between holes of the Wednesday ProAm practice round.  Others sighted the policy and moved on those stating the policy were mostly the bigger names Dustin Johnson, Sergio Garcia, Brooks Koepka & Justin Thomas.  The only player that I saw sign and I didn't get was Rory McIlroy as he skipped my SI magazine a couple times.  I was hoping to get Phil Mickelson but he didn't play in the ProAm and I never saw him.  I was able to 30 golfers and 3 others that where playing in the ProAm and a total of 45 autographs so a great day even with missing out on most of the big names.
