@murphy17 love the dozier collection man. he's really turning into a heck of a player!

Thanks! I went to college with him at Southern Miss. He was a heck of a player for us, and he was one of the leaders on our first ever college world series team. I have always collected baseball cards, and it was natural to start chasing his cards. I'm not too surprised that he has climbed the ranks and is now starting to make an impact, but it is in a different way than I would have thought. He wasn't a power hitter in college. Granted, he hits all his homers to left field, but he still has more power now than he did with an aluminum bat against inferior pitching. His defense has also been phenomenal. I hope he can keep it up. He alone is why I follow the Twins, but so far I have admired the support that he has received, and I have liked any of the Twins fans I have talked to. I hope he spends his whole career there.

He is my favorite player currently. Just a hard worker and friendly. One of the best signers on the team always before the game you can find him along the right field wall signing autos.

Beckett Grading will be accepting submissions at Three Stars Sportscards in Roseville on 5/10 from 10:00 - 5:00. The email I received from Beckett states $12/card for 10-day service and $9/card for 20-day service. Three Stars site says $10/card. The main benefit is the savings on shipping to/from Beckett if you have a larger order.

Do you have any idea of what the total cost might be for 1 card at various service levels? I'm not big into grading, but have 1 or 2 that I might want to drop off just for protection.

 

[UMich92]

Don't have a good idea about the various service levels, but someone did post that type of question on their Facebook page. For a single card w/auto, they expect the total cost (grading, shipping, etc) to be $14. Without an auto would be $12. I believe this is at the 10-day level.

Looks like a nice bold auto and good centering too. It's a shame he won't debut this year because of the injury.
