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).

Top 5 TTMs of 2023

 When I set myself reminders, I do well and this year I set a monthly reminder to send out TTMs.  I was successful every month this year!  I sent more to home addresses this year and not so many to MLB or MiLB teams, which I hope to change that trend next year.  Here's to more TTMs in 2024!

5.  Donald Harris - I just loved these 1st round draft pick cards when they came out!  So this was more of a nostalgic TTM for me more than anything.


4.  Frank Stanley - He's originally from Iowa, and he's in my mega collection of MLBers from Iowa.  I had some extra cards and saw he signed, and I was successful.  Great looking A's cards from the early/mid 80's too!


3.  Jim Deshaies - He's currently with the Cubs doing broadcasts and I enjoy him the most since the good ole days of Harry and Steve.


2.  Chris Hoiles - I have a preference to catchers and the Orioles are one of my second tier favorite teams, so this was a no brainer.  In fact, I send quite a few TTM requests to former Orioles this year!


1.  Jonah Heim - Again, a catcher, All Star, Gold Glove winner and World Champ!  I had to pull this from my catchers binder for a signature.
