Rangers @ Red Sox, 4/8

I already had the day off from work, so I headed down to the stadium and decided to buy a ticket for $7 at the last minute.  It was definitely worth the price of admission to get Darvish.


Outside the park:
  • Mitch Moreland- 11 Topps
  • Tanner Scheppers- 12 Topps team card
  • Robbie Ross- 10 Upper Deck stadium card
  • Shin Soo Choo- 13 Heritage
  • Prince Fielder- 08 Allen & Ginter
Inside the park:
  • Yu Darvish- 13 Heritage

Brewers @ Red Sox, 4/6

 It was a brutally cold morning with very few players signing, but Braun made it worth the trip.  I might be waiting a while to get the other half of that All-Star card done.

  • Mark Reynolds- 12 Allen & Ginter
  • Ryan Braun- 09 Topps U&H

Brewers @ Red Sox, 4/4 Opening Day and Ring Ceremony!

It was a chilly day at Fenway for Opening Day last Friday, as it didn't quite feel like winter was over yet.  Even though the game ended poorly, it was great to be there for my first ring ceremony.


















Autographs were tough to come by for the opening series.
  • Jim Henderson- 13 Topps
  • Brandon Workman- blank card
