TTM Success - Travis Ishikawa


Got my second TTM for Spring Training back on Friday.  Sadly, Travis isn't with the Brewers organization anymore, but I did get to see him last year at spring training in Maryvale and he signed a ball for me.  Travis is now in the Orioles camp and he was nice enough to sign both of his Topps Brewers cards for me and getting his 2013 card signed fills a hole.  If I get someone else on the 2013 design I'll probably give Travis the 2012 spot since Nyjer Morgan has both the 2011 and 2012 spots on my Brewers TTM page. 
Anyways thanks Travis and good luck this year with the Orioles.

Fan Packing across the USA - Royals vs. Orioles

Yep going to do another heads up.  Probably not fair, but life ain't fair.
I got fan packs from the Royals and Orioles pretty much back to back days so lets see what we have inside.
First up the Kansas City Royals

A nice form letter from the front office.  The Kansas City Royals lettering up top is gold foil. Very classy.
There was also a K Crew temporary tattoo. 
A 2012 Royals schedule, featuring Eric Hosmer, Mike Moustakas, and Alex Gordon.

And an application for the Sluggerrr's Blue Crew Kids Fan Club.

Kind of lackluster, lets see what the Orioles sent

Another front office form letter. Not very wordy.
Two, yep two more 2012 team schedules

A flyer for Camden Yards tours.
Here's the back
A couple of stickers.  And these stickers are big. Very nice.

And a player card of Wilson Betemit.  This is larger than the 2x3 regular card size, but smaller than post card size.  And it's even got stuff on the back.
I wasn't familiar with Betemit, so I looked him up online.  He's been in the majors for over 10 years and played for just about everybody.  I kid, but Wilson has played for the Braves, the Dodgers, Yankees, White Sox, Royals, and Tigers before signing with Baltimore this year. Betemit is a utility player being able to cover 1st, 3rd and shortstop and so far this year has played in 21 games and had 18 hits, 4 HR's and 15 RBI's not too shabby.

So I think the winner between this fan pack off is pretty obvious, ahem Orioles.  But thanks to both teams for actually sending me something.

A new Reggie might as well make him #2!

Cynicalbuddha's Top 100

Well I got home to day and found this in my mailbox.  My first Topps Marquee card so far. There are a few more I'm going to try and pick up, but I love the fact that Reggie is in a Orioles uniform and that there is a piece of Yankee's pinstripe and a kick ass A's patch piece in this card. And the best part is I got this card for a steal. So why not make the newest card to my collection and my Reggie Jackson player collection #2 on my top 100 cards.

So.....
