Spring Training TTM: Christian Friedrich

• Christian Friedrich 4/3- In addition to signing three cards for me, Christian also wsrote a nice note on one of my index cards.  He mentioned that he really liked the look of the gold card and thanked me for his support, and he signed the note as well.  I wish that more young players had this time of enthusiasm when it comes to fan interaction.  

Spring Training TTM: Rob Scahill

• Rob Scahill 1/1- The young Rockies pitcher signed his 13 Topps RC.  I don't have anything interesting to say about this guy, but I am looking forward to taking my first trip to Colorado later this year.  Hopefully I'll be able to catch a game at Coors Field while I'm there.  Sent 3/4 (10 days)

2 Returns: Neftali Feliz and Chris Iannetta

I've received 2 TTM returns over the past few days:

• Neftali Feliz 1/1- The 100 mph closer for the Rangers signed his 09 Topps Updates & Highlights rookie card. The card is creased pretty badly on one side, but I was happy to get this one back from a rising relief star. Sent 4/27 (47 days)

• Chris Iannetta 2/2- Chris signed cards from the '08 and '09 Topps sets in thin blue marker. Sent 4/22 (55 days)
