January seems to be my biggest month of getting in-person autographs. This year was no different. I just figured I would share my haul. I apologize for the quality of the photos. I currently am without a scanner.
Waffle Fundraiser w/Indians prospect Jordan Smith.
This was to support a "local" youth baseball organization, and they brought Smith in. I loved watching him play in 2010 in the NWL and have been following his career ever since. I got a MASSIVE Belgian waffle (with the option for seconds but I couldn't do it), and 2 autos, all for 7 or 8 bucks.
Next was Caravan. I had 4 on my radar this year, but only one ended up to be a public stop. I can't complain because the lineup was excellent (although I was a tad bummed because Perkins was on one of the stops). Carew, Oliva, Gibson, Hicks, and Hendriks all came. Carew was advertised as "NO AUTOGRAPHS" but it was changed too "PHOTOCARDS ONLY." I did see a couple items sneak through the line, but they were pretty cheap.
I never knew that Liam Hendriks was a top 5 Australian-rules football player but decided to go with baseball instead.
Next up was TwinsFest. This is my 1-day haul. The past few years, I had help with the autographs. This year, I did everything by myself. I panicked a little beforehand because some of my items didn't come in on time and I forgot to order a few cards, but I think I improvised well. The one thing I didn't like was getting Kevin Tapani on the photopaper. I wish I had a card for him. Anyways, here are the pics.
Here are some of the cards. Again, sorry for the poor photo. I am going to have to get a scanner.
Ryan Pressly, Cole Nelson, Tim Laudner, Chris Herrmann (x2), Vance Worley, Trevor May (x2), BJ Hermsen, Aaron Hicks (x2), Tyler Robertson.
These are the better cards. Sano's line was INSANE. My dad pulled the Molitor/Jenkins cards from a grab bag, so I got them signed.
These are 4x6 photopaper. I usually bring some sort of item to be signed by people that I have nothing for. I grabbed these on the way out the door. They look pretty nice. I am just going to list the players, not the quantities on this one.
Kyle Knudson, Austin Malinowski, Brian Duensing, Joe Vavra, Bobby Cuellar, Kevin Tapani, Jared Burton, Nate Hanson, Cole Nelson, BJ Hermsen (one inscribed 2012 MiPOY), Michael Tonkin, Ryan Pressly, Corey Fien, Caleb Theilbar, Alex Mayer, Pedro Hernandez, and one I can't remember off the top of my head.
I need to take a break. Part 2 in a bit. 8x10s, OMLBs, the cookbook, and a random eBay win.
