    Hells Bells in Frisco

    I was there Thursday. It was Mike Maddux not Greg Maddux. Derek Holland was also there Thursday in uniform which was strange since he was not pitching. Each of my kids got him SS on ROMLB's. Feliz was in the stands with Alex Claudio and Roman Mendez as well. All 3 in the Ranger Bull Pen right...

    Rangers and Dodgers Spring Training trip

    They are a life saver. My kids love them and I think the players appreciate them since you are prepared and they don't have to wait while you thumb through 100 cards looking for theirs. I got a ton of complements on them from folks who were scrambling to get cards out for their kids and several...

    Rangers and Dodgers Spring Training trip

    So I took the family to Spring Training again this year to see the Rangers. After learning the ropes last year we were much more prepared this year and it paid off. Got to the hotel Wed evening and decided to go to the lobby as I know Ranger players go in and out. Sure enough, 10 minutes after...

    # cards signed

    So do any of you try and get #'rd cards signed as opposed to just commons? What is the general concensus about getting those signed? I got a Luk Jackso 2011 Heritage Minors #/620 signed the other night and it made me start to think more about it.

    Frisco Saturday

    First, thanks to Hockeybrawler on his tips on getting prepared for autos. It was a big help for my two boys and removed the burdon on me of trying to get the kids the cards of the players. Colby Lewis was starting on rehab but was unaccessable to anyone so there was no success there. Our goal...

    Drew's blog (hounding reports)

    Well, I put your method to the test. I made two books for my kids similar to yours. made 2 4x9 bound books using index card stock at Office Depot. Total cost was about $15. We went to Frisco Saturday and my two boys got 28 cards signed! It was a smashing success. Every player that had...

    Should I just do it?

    yeah, I had just looked those both up. I bought the 48 card lot. only 11 bucks total so it's not a big investment. Good suggestion on tracking down the winning bidder.

    Should I just do it?

    OK, I'm a Steve Garvey collector and my latest goal is getting all regular issue Topps cards (1971 - 1987) with a PSA of at least 8. I have all but 1986 and there is only 47 total in the population report that have ever been graded. What would you do? 1. Wait for Ebay auction 2. buy large lot...

    IP Rangers/Reds/Bears oh my...

    Agree on the Minors point. I have two kids who are into the autographs and now even they prefer minors games. They love the interaction with the players and they then follow that player and think it's cool when they get promoted within the system. They just got a kick out of Wilmer Font going...
