Welcome to my blog!!!

I have collected baseball cards and autographs over the years. I still have boxes full of cards (as well as newer cards) that are just sitting there. So, I have decided to see how many of them I can get autographed. I use through the mail as my preferred route for this adventure. I also have an account on Zistle and The Trading Card Database for trading purposes (stevienicks77).

I had written this bad boy off a long time ago.  Usually after a year I write them off.  I'm glad to see players doing TTMs during this time; I know its a nice surprise in the mailbox right now!

The "rona support" eBay purchase

This is the card I was referencing in my post a few days back about helping out a fellow Twitterer during this time.  He had a second T.J. Hockenson card, however, I didn't win that one.  ðŸ˜Ÿ  This card is a beauty and a perfect match with the Noah Fant card!
