Marlins & Cardinals ST Autos- MAC- Stanton-Reyes -& More

here are some pics from the 3 days
i spent at cardinals/ marlins camp.

i was only there for 1 practice day and
the other 2 days were the sit down team
signings. basically went for the fat of the land.

i did 1 Marlins practice , Cardinals signing, and Marlins signing.



Trip was a success as the 2 biggest items (bat & pujols 16)for me both got rare full name sigs. He gave the full to only a few lucky people at the signing. He mostly signs his name with the 75% auto which is missing the loop with the first M in "Mark" . The others one are nice. Just not full as im picky as you all know.

McGWire 1/1 and 5 with Help*
6 Total*
89 Game Used Bat - w/ 89 WSC inscription - Full
16x20 w/ Pujols Auto - Full
16x20 w/Mattingly Auto - 75%
11x14 w/ LaRussa *75%
500 HR Ticket *75%

a personal favorite, i was at the last WS game

jack mckeon lead the marlins over NY.
finally had the geezer sign my stub.

Wow, that is an awesome haul...Congrats !!!

Nice stuff man. Really like the Mcgwire/Pujols item as well as the mcgwire/larussa celebration pic.

Awesome haul man. I would love to make a spring training trip.

Very very nice Macs, Don!!!!!

thanks chris.

pretty happy bout the new stuff!

If we head down there next year I think I'm doing st Don style. Ginters by the stack and know what's going on lol. Don nice meeting you down there. I'm still going to get you that email link for the ticket guy that may have a stub you need.

Would you be interested in trading or selling the Jaime Garcia Topps 100? I need that one for my set.

Beautiful looking A & Gs, especially the Zambrano

Click to expand...

the garcia has a little ink smudge. its not terrible,

pm me and ill send you closeup.

Darron, nice to finally meet ya!
now you know how it works.
i would have liked to get a bunch of 16x20's
done, but now you see how much of a pain
it is to carry them. ill get luster coating
cause glossys will be covered in fingerprints.


cant go wrong with ginters lol
send me the ticket stub link

Nice haul, I wish the Pirates had more high profile players to graph...I did get Acutch, Alvarez, Walker, Gerrit Cole, and Taillon this spring though.

Interesting, looks like Stanton is still signing his name Mike even though he's going by Giancarlo

I'd be interested if he's ever going to swap over his autograph, or if it's too engrained by now?

Carrying 16 X 20s is terrible. I need to buy one of those portfolio things that those graphing guys carry. The wind catches those boards and its hard to keep them from hitting the ground. Also the signed Allen Craig one we got got a little scratched up, you can only tell from up close but still not good. I found a lady on Flickr today who has a ton of great pictures of Cardinals players and I will be getting some images from her. I am pretty sure we are going down there again next year (obviously a long time to plan ahead but I think we will be there a week next year)
