Hi All,
The wife and kids were away so The Poppa got to play. Yep, my bachelor weekend meant I had a few opportunities to abuse the Sharpie collection!

I went to Saturday's Trenton @ Akron game and then swung by downtown Cleveland to try to get the Indians after their game. Sunday, I picked up a bunch of 8x10 photos from Saturday's game and headed back to Akron. Bonus at the game was Denny McLain signing autographs and supplying the memorabilia. I picked up his new book, I Told You I Wasn't Perfect, plus an 8x10 and both were signed. Sunday was also get-away day for the Aeros so I cleaned house once again.

In total, 35 cards, 1 book, and 23 8x10s signed, with all but one of the 8x10s being my own photography - woot!

Here are the cards (the hologram is of Lee Hyde)...

Because I don't want to bring down the server at The Bench, I'm only showing the 8x10s that have nice penmanship and/or a great photo (if I say so myself!).

Super cool!! Awesome photography!!!

Thanks!

I've written to Topps asking if I could submit photos for consideration on their cards but they refuse to respond! Sometimes I look at cards and can't believe what they choose or edits they failed to make... and sometimes I have better pictures of that specific player!

My next goal is to get one of my photos in the main Topps set (and I'd settle for a minor league set for starters).

Then my goal would be to get paid for it! :)

Players, especially minor leaguers, often comment about them. Many have asked for copies over the years.
