Collecting Cleveland Indians Topps team sets from 1952-present, as well as post-war minor and major league autographs.
New Arrival: Kolby Allard, p, Cleveland Guardians … Kolby Allard signed a minor league contract with the Cleveland Guardians this past February. Allard was not great in 2024. He bounced between the Phillies and their AAA club, and pitched to a roughly 5.00 ERA at both stops. Rough. But Cleveland[…]
Man, I remember being really excited about infielder Brett Lawrie. He was Brewer’s 16th overall pick of the 2008 draft. He was a well-regarded prospect and put up fantastic numbers in the minors.
2012 Topps Gypsy Queen Dual Autograph Relic Justin Verlander . I can’t say that I am a huge fan of Justin Verlander. But I am a fan of baseball, and if you are a fan of baseball…you have to appreciate Verlander’s career to this point: 2006 AL ROY, 2011 AL[…]
I did not find the 2020 Gypsy Queen checklist to be all that thrilling, but I was happy to see Gio Urshela in there. Last season Gio hit .314/.355/.534 with 21 HR–good for a 133 OPS+ and 3.9 WAR. That, coupled with his plus defense…he has the potential to be[…]

Couple Carlos Correa autographs from my collection. I have been a fan of his since he was in Quad Cities, so its great to see him turn into one of the better players in the National League. He is having a bit of an off year in 2018, though[…]
I got this autograph for like $5, which I think is a pretty good deal for a guy who has led the league in stolen bases three times and was the 2015 NL hits leader. Gordon was traded from the Marlins to the Mariners a couple months back. Should be[…]
