Bryn Smith


 I mailed a 1992 Fleer Ultra baseball card to Bryn Smith on August 9, 2022 and received it back on August 20, 2022 for an 11 day turn-around! 

Sid Bream


 This 1992 Upper Deck card was mailed to former Braves first baseman, Sid Bream on August 8, 2022 and returned 12 days later, August 20, 2022. Glad to have Mr. Bream added into my collection! On a another note, everytime I hear Sid Bream's name, I think of what my Dad used to say in the early 90's... "I scream, you scream, we all scream for Sid Bream!"

Damon Hollins


 Damon Hollins signed this 1994 Classic baseball card on Friday, August 19, 2022. Damon, a coach with the Kansas City Royals was at Tropicana field, for the Royals to play the Tampa Bay Rays. The Royals beat the Rays in extra innings.

Cal Eldred


 I met Cal Eldred on Friday August 19, 2022. Cal, the pitching coach for the Kansas City Royals, was at Tropicana Field to play the Tampa Bay Rays. Cal signed a 1993 Upper Deck baseball card prior to the game.

Jeff Montgomery


 Jeff Montgomery signed this 1993 Bowman baseball card prior to the start of a game between the visting Kansas City Royals and Tampa Bay Rays. Jeff, was preparing to do a pre-game show, as he announces games for the Royals, and was kind enough to sign for some fans moments before going on-air.

MJ Melendez

My son and I had the opportunity to meet MJ Melendez at Tropicana Field, on August 19, 2022 when the Kansas City Royals came to play the Tampa Bay Rays. The Royals wound up beating the Rays in extra innings and MJ recorded the final out by making a diving catch in left field! MJ signed a 2019 Bowman baseball card prior to the game.



 

Brady Singer


My son and I met Brady Singer at Tropicana Field after he pitched and beat the Tampa Bay Rays. I normally go to these games prepared with hopes of getting a few, and never really having an idea of who I might get out of what I bring. This time, I was pretty confident on meeting Brady Singer. Brady is from the Tampa Bay area, so I figured he'd be hanging around to see friends and family after the game. Sure enough, I was right! Brady singed this 2018 Bowman baseball card shortly after the game. Then shortly after that, my son was able to snap a picture with him as he was leaving the ballpark.


Bobby Witt Jr.


 My son and I met Bobby Witt Jr. on August 19, 2022 at Tropicana Field, 4 days after getting his father's autograph in the mail! Bobby signed this 2022 Bowman baseball card prior to the game against the home town Tampa Bay Rays. Bobby and the Royals wound up beating the Rays and he also hit a home run! Glad to add the son of a ball player into my collection... Especially when the son is one of the bright up and coming stars of Major League Baseball!

Bobby Witt

This 1993 Fleer Ultra baseball card was mailed out to Bobby Witt on August 5, 2022 and returned 10 days later on August 15, 2022. Big thanks to Mr. Witt!!
