Ortiz's final season is now underway with the Boston Red Sox, and I must say, it is a difficult thing to watch progress (as are the 2016 Boston Red Sox). I know that at the end I will be emotional, as I'm sure Ortiz will be as well. I will be in good company, though, as all of Red Sox Nation will be missing him. I'm just praying for an All-Star Game appearance, and a lot more homer-runs before he is officially retired.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
With a final season like Ortiz's in the works, this means that his sports card prices will be highly inflated. With this in mind, I will probably not be seeing many BIG additions to the Big Papi collection of mine. As of right now, these are most of the game-used (bat and jersey) and autographed cards of Ortiz that I have amassed over about six years of collecting his higher-end cards. I hope you enjoy seeing them just as much as I have enjoyed having them in my collection.</div>

<div>
**Note** All cards pictured below contain game-used materials from David Ortiz's personally worn/used items as well as autographs personally signed by Ortiz himself. Most cards have serial numbered production run stamps that signify how many copies were produced. Nothing is for sale!</div>

His face appears on too many newspaper covers and Sportscenter news segments to have completely missed the Ortiz train. The man is a legend and celebrity in Beantown at this point in his career with the Boston Red Sox. He is one of the best designated hitters to ever play the game of baseball, and some Boston sports fans will tell you that he is the best Red Sox player to ever play at Fenway Park. Ortiz's last season is in the midst of being kick-started here in five days, and every Boston sports fan is hoping he goes out with a bang.<br />

Consequently, David Ortiz's autograph is one of the most faked Red Sox autographs on the market today because forgers know they can make a quick buck on his autograph without being too suspicious. It isn't Mike Trout or Kris Bryant, so an uncertified autograph of Ortiz's isn't going to have the kind of skepticism thrown at the owner as a Bryant or Trout autograph owner would.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Lucky for you, I have been collecting Ortiz cards for almost ten years now, and I can spot a fake from a mile away. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here are some of my certified autographs of David Ortiz to use as a guide (not all of these are mine). I will walk through every millimeter of his autograph from every era so that you won't buy yourself a fake at a show or on an auction site. </div>

<b>1997-2000 Twins Era:</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This is a certified autograph of David Ortiz from when he played with the Twins. This was likely signed pre-1997 or around 1997. Obviously, this signature is inscribed with a "27" which was his number on the Twins. This dates it to a certain time period already since Ortiz played with the Twins from 1997-2002.</div>

In the picture below, I have taken a piece of his autograph to analyze. In all David Ortiz autographs predating 1997 and signed close to 1997, these two dots before a "J" looking slash mark should always be visible. A longer dot followed by a shorter dot is what you should look for! Also, notice how the loops in his autograph look slightly boxy. This, along with the dots, changed over time. The first loop will almost always tower over the second loop and this is something that also drastically changed as he signed.<br />
<br />
The "J" slash is actually the "S" from "Arias". The "S" should start close to the second loop after the two dots and will sometimes intersect the loop and dots. The "S" should start close to the loop and end/fade out to the left. This can be seen clearly in the picture. The "S" almost always fades out/streaks instead of an abrupt stop. Streaks in the loops are very common in Ortiz's autograph too, and if they can't be seen at all, then be cautious! Like all autographs, if it doesn't look like it was signed quickly, you should be concerned.<br />

This scribble in older David Ortiz autographs is the "A" from "Arias" and as he signed autographs this faded out of the autograph. Generally, the sloppier the "A" from "Arias" the older the autograph is.</div>

The picture below is a Fleer certified autograph of Ortiz from 2000. The same qualities can be seen in this autograph as the one above. The dots are more like lines on the right side of the autograph, but you can see that the longer line is followed by the shorter line.</div>

During these years, Ortiz kept up the same style in the majority of his autographs, however the two dots/lines that he had in his older signatures from the late 90's started to turn into just one solid line leading into the "S". Two examples can be seen below.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This 2004 Ortiz Donruss Certified autograph is seen with just one line leading into the "S". The "A" from "Arias" can also be seen sharpening and flattening out. (The line leading into the last loop is much flatter) Also, take notice that the loops in the autograph are becoming less boxy and more rounded.</div>

This 2005 Topps Finest autograph is a good example of how he was starting to transition some of his autographs to just having one line/dot to the left of the "S" at the end of the autograph. (Since this autograph is from 2005 and features the two dots, but the previous picture is of a card signed in 2004 but features the one line going into the "S") This particular card happens to feature one of the autographs that has the two dots, but it also shows the flatter "A" in "Arias" and the rounder loops. The "S" at the end of the autograph will also begin to look more square, but will still end/streak out to the left.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The autographs signed during these six years are going to feature the one line leading into the "S" of "Arias" (the closer to 2010-2011 the autograph was signed is when the line connects into the "S") and the loops will get continually rounder and less sharp. Identifying fakes that have the one line and a flatter "A" will generally lack the roundness of the loops. The loops need to be free-flowing with no stops and starts or slow moving pen.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Another feature that will start to fade from the autograph is the loop that kind of looks like an upside down and sideways cancer ribbon. In 2012, you see this feature mostly disappear. Below is an example of the loop I'm making reference to. This loop is still missing in his autographs as of 2016.</div>

Here is an autograph I have of Ortiz from 2008 Topps Stadium Club. The loops are now both the same size, will commonly intersect each other, and they are so round on this particular autograph that Ortiz ran the autograph off the sticker. The one line into the "S" is visible (separated from "S"), and there is almost no "A" in "Arias" visible. Some will have an "A" visible, but from my observation, most do not. It seems like the "A" started to really reappear in the autographs that I see signed during the 2014 regular season. </div>

<b>2013:</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The autographs signed during 2013 are all about the same until we get to the postseason, and Ortiz for some reason changed up his autograph style a little bit. Maybe they were being signed faster, but they have a much different look to them. I know these as the "2013 World Series autographs" as they are very easy to spot.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The next two autographs are from 2013 Topps Museum Collection. No ribbon looking loop is visible at the start of the autographs. These two autographs were signed before the new style developed although the second Museum Collection card has hints of the new style coming.</div>

This next autograph is from 2013 Topps Triple Threads. You can find this style (or something similar) on every World Series ball Ortiz signed that fall. There is a solid break in the line that fed into the "S" in autographs we saw from 2006-2012. This autograph just looks so much more symmetrical, straight, and flat to me. This is the autograph I call the "2013 World Series autograph". If you don't believe me that this is the style signed in the later part of the 2013 season, check it out for yourself!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The 2013 style seems to have been a World Series exclusive style, because the autographs get sloppier as we move into this era. There are SOME good autographs in 2015 and 2016 and I have cherry-picked some nice ones off of eBay, but a lot of them are looking sloppy and weird. 2014 was a neat autograph year for Ortiz, though.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
These next two autographs are from 2014 Topps Museum Collection. All of them have a visible "A" after the first loop, and they all feature connected lines moving into the "S". </div>

Here is an autograph from 2015 Tier One. Ortiz started running that last loop into the "used to be dots" and then into the "S" from "Arias". It is almost as if he was getting lazy with the pen and decided to start running all of the autograph together to avoid picking up the pen when signing.</div>

Here is my 2015 Topps High Tek Ortiz autograph card. It doesn't feature the above sloppiness because this is one of the cards I cherry-picked off of eBay. It features a swirled "S" that is almost beginning to look like a "Z". </div>

For comparisons sake, look at how inconsistent these are getting. I'm losing my feel for the patterns in style at this point. The "A" in "Arias" has returned again in some of these cards signed in the same set. I'm confused...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

And lastly, this is an autograph from Ortiz in 2016. Needless to say, they are trending towards the sloppier side of his autographs. There aren't many examples I can use for the 2016 autographs yet as he just hasn't signed all that many yet. </div>

But here are a couple of things to look for in any Ortiz autograph era that will generally hint at signs that point to a real autograph.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The tail on the first line of the autograph:</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The tail on the ends of the loops (check out previous pictures for these tails!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If inscribed, this is the style of his "34" inscription. Normal "3" and a "4" that looks relatively like a lowercase "u" with a really long tail or the number "7".</div>

The line to "S" in "Arias" is almost always opened upwards like a bowl resting on a table.</div>

So that is the evolution of David Ortiz's autograph. Hopefully it will save some of you some money at shows and on auction sites like eBay. There are a lot of fakes out there so be careful when collecting autographs. Here's to a killer season Ortiz! Cheers! To end this post, I'll ask you guys a question...</div>

You see, I was getting tired of looking at all of my relics and cool patch and autograph cards in a box, so I built these really awesome custom made card display shelves. This is a cheap and cool way to display cards without breaking the bank!! I get questions like "where did you get those shelves and how much were they?" on my youtube channel ALL THE TIME. SO I figured that maybe offering to build these shelves for people might help me make some more money for my college tuition. The shelves feature:<br /> Cut slot for cards to stand up<br /> Locking plexi glass doors (extra)<br /> Light, easy to handle wood<br /> Can house tons of cards!<br /><br /> Don't be afraid to ask for a crazy custom shelf either. Trust me, there is nothing I or my father (engineer) cannot do. :P<br /><br /> I am in the process of figuring out if I want to start building these to sell. I want to see how popular this idea is first, and if it is a popular idea, I will start taking orders from customers. I'm not even at the pricing stages yet, but the final product shipped would be maybe $90 - $100 plus shipping.

Couldn't have asked for more, really, and besides the rain, it was absolutely perfect. William over at Foulbunt met me at the Raleigh NC card show this past weekend. We browsed the show until about noon, then headed over to a sports bar and had ourselves some great burgers and shot three games of pool. My dad was tagging along the entire time looking for vintage tobacco Indian cards he needs to complete his set, he found none. We all had a blast I think, though. As for the pool games, William seems to have had some mojo clutch shot work going on when we were playing, because he won all three games we played. First game he came back on me when I was desperately trying to shoot the eight ball in, second game I scratched on the eight ball, and the third game was the same as the first. Either way, playing pool with a great friend after having a successful outing at the show and having a nice juicy burger in my stomach was just an awesome experience. After all of this, William and my Dad and I all drove tandem back to my house where we stayed up until three in the morning talking about baseball, cards, and some other things. The rainy car ride up was especially boring, but the conversations we had were FAR from boring.<br>
<br>
So you all are probably wondering what the heck I got at the show. Not a lot of David Ortiz stuff, but definitely knocked some things off of my need list. I am creating an autograph set of everyone who was on the roster when the Sox were playing in the World Series. I was able to knock some names off this list, so that was good!<br>
<br>
Here is what I got from the show.<br>
<br>

These two Ortiz relics were presents from William. The Chasing History relic was given to me before the show, but along the way while browsing, I ran across the all star stitches relic and William got it for me. It is my second Ortiz all star stitches relic from this year, but hey, who cares?? I love them!<br>

This Ortiz Golden Moments gold foil card is a little bit hard to identify as being the gold parallel, but clearly it has the serial number on it. Gorgeous card!! (63/99)<br>

This Curt Schilling relic was among the first cards I bought. The card is numbered (96/100) William and I had a conversation about Mr. Schilling when I was buying this card. How could a man like him invest all of his money into video games and lose practically everything?! Actually really depressing if you think about it.</div>

I already had one of these Dustin Pedroia T206 autograph cards, but I like the one I currently own so much I decided I would get another. Not serial numbered, but still a great card. I payed only $15 for this card. That is half as much as I payed for the first one I picked up at the same show a couple years back.</div>

All you need to know about this card was that I picked it up because I felt like I needed to get a card of Damon from 2004 like this one. A World Series force that you simply can't ignore. He helped the Red Sox win their first title in 2004 since 1918. Only payed $5, so didn't spend much on it.</div>

I was never a huge Lackey fan leading up to the postseason, but I am now. Lackey seemed to have really turned up his game a couple notches going into the postseason. He pitched some great baseball, and was a big force on the Championship team. I picked this card up for a whopping $5. I thought it was a great deal for his Bowman draft picks autograph card. Really nice looking bold autograph, too.</div>

Ok, I will admit it. I miss seeing Kevin Youkilis in a Red Sox uniform. Yes, it is true he wasn't getting the job done over at third base, but is Middlebrooks doing any better? I will always be a fan of Youk, he was a real classy guy. This card features a good looking autograph of him. I traded a duplicate relic away for this card, so I really can't complain about this deal!</div>

This card is one heck of a beauty! I found this Golden Moments Jumbo Jersey card of Roberto Alomar shortly after I started browsing ahead of William. It was in a box of cards that I was flipping through, and it caught my eye. I flipped it over and it had no price sticker. I asked the dealer how much he had to have for the card, and he consulted the Beckett book. My heart sank, and I thought for sure I was going to pay the $45-$50 the card is worth. The strange thing about some of the Beckett guides, though, is the fact that the Golden Moments Jumbo Jersey relics are not even IN some of the Beckett price guides. The regular relics, however, are in the book. He didn't find Alomar under the regular golden moments relic names, and rather than researching it further, he considered the card to be a common golden moments relic. Beckett assigns common Golden Moments jersey cards between $3-$8. WE MET IN THE MIDDLE AT $5. I couldn't get into my wallet fast enough. This was by far the best steal of my haul. The card is serial numbered (19/20)</div>

Felix Doubront silver autograph 4 piece relic from 2013 Topps Triple threads. I'm really digging the silver autograph and the card design on this one. The card is serial numbered (16/25). I didn't have this card for my World Series autograph set either, so it was an even better pickup.</div>

This is a great Dennis Eckersley autograph card from Topps Five Star. Not a bad card for $12. I enjoyed having him announce with Don Orsillo when Remdog (Jerry Remy) was out due to the emotional distress he was experiencing due to the incident involving his son. While I hope that Remy is back with Orsillo next year, I wouldn't mind having Eckersley fill in a couple of games next season. I find him very knowledeable and humorous.</div>

These were all singles that I got at the end of the show with William. The guy we were buying from was really generous with his pricing I would say. For all of these I payed $2. I love the Jackie Bradley Jr. rc's I picked up. Especially the Blue wrapper redemption card. Those are GORGEOUS!</div>

Tazawa was pitching decently up until the playoffs started, but luckily the Sox had Uehara to back him up. Koji seemed to be literally UNHITTABLE in the playoffs, and on top of his amazing performances, he made history by ending the first World Series baseball game with a pickoff move to first base. Wow! Koji, Koji, Koji, Koji, Koji!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_gpR6xrXswOpfflHgC7j87N1aSgkAma_8yYLm9eEe66IVMZMhmuVh3gl7OyvYaS7OOEgrHcZjCy9e_feqQKaE0RxfA_Mel_KrkwUp_jQUP2oBJyTTwXfsgNpWbOGEudXwi1a5qWYJSEYI/s640/blogger-image-805151629.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_gpR6xrXswOpfflHgC7j87N1aSgkAma_8yYLm9eEe66IVMZMhmuVh3gl7OyvYaS7OOEgrHcZjCy9e_feqQKaE0RxfA_Mel_KrkwUp_jQUP2oBJyTTwXfsgNpWbOGEudXwi1a5qWYJSEYI/s640/blogger-image-805151629.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">This is a Topps Lineage autograph of Jonny Gomes.

Thanks Jonny!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Before I wrap this post up, I will say that so far, I have gotten rid of, and picked up every single player that Ben Cherrington (Red Sox GM) has! Looks like my dream job isn't completely out of the equation. Anyway, to say that this postseason hasn't been full of surprises is simply ludicrous! I mean, Robbie Cano to the Mariners? What? Who saw that coming? I am pleased to see though, that the Yankees are yet again trying to buy solutions to their problems. It hasn't been working for them here the past several seasons, and I see another mediocre team full of egos being put together again, so, so far, I am a happy offseason baseball fan. It should be interesting to see these free agent players playing with their new teams, no doubt. Seeing Ellsbury, McCann, and Roberts in pinstripes will be interesting too. I predict that Ellsbury will be the first one on the DL, and following him will be the aging Brian McCann. But as I have said to many, a season that the Yankees play poorly, is a great season whether my team is losing or not. The idea that the front office thinks they can put a team together like they had with Rivera, Posada, Jeter and all of those other recent Yankees stars is simply nuts. That may NEVER happen again. </div></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So that will about do it for tonight. This post took me two evenings to create, so please, make it worth MY while and comment what you think about things. I would love some feedback from my followers out there! As always go Sox, and thanks for the read!</div>

I have been scheming as to what I'm going to buy on eBay if I don't come home with anything big from the Raleigh card show coming up on the 14th. I have a couple of cards in line already, and I'm going to share them with you!<br />
<br />
First on my list, this David Ortiz button card....Yes, a BUTTON card.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicxCEoWzZsEOyByZc9P8wuvfOzXX2g8SWLkIbHKCh4dM7hVLtSA6AdIis35KQFCQS5xsWtsaVz0UATk45eTSLRPFCLz-fwdjA0hfdihj23F6eRkA4d4ngYekdiPOTYGEnmuc1JJIT4okpr/s1600/Ortiz+Button.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicxCEoWzZsEOyByZc9P8wuvfOzXX2g8SWLkIbHKCh4dM7hVLtSA6AdIis35KQFCQS5xsWtsaVz0UATk45eTSLRPFCLz-fwdjA0hfdihj23F6eRkA4d4ngYekdiPOTYGEnmuc1JJIT4okpr/s400/Ortiz+Button.jpg" width="326" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If I am going to buy it, it will be using $165 of the $200 my parents are giving me for the show. This card would be the an amazing card to add to my collection, I think. Button cards are rare, and finding them of Ortiz today, is even harder.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The next card I would like to buy is this 2013 Topps Triple Threads auto relic /3</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRau3l927gff1kR2RJLxccyvgmPXkE9hnFnI4_ChISCXg-GF-1ZcvRQGuUJUVIZ-XJZsm10V72lsjlkU1-03MNICoFG2iWGUKF80itSC-MaXbhYwarZgPDYgP9XtBgUeUcGwITTacaUP_K/s1600/DSCN1771_zpsb76aad78.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRau3l927gff1kR2RJLxccyvgmPXkE9hnFnI4_ChISCXg-GF-1ZcvRQGuUJUVIZ-XJZsm10V72lsjlkU1-03MNICoFG2iWGUKF80itSC-MaXbhYwarZgPDYgP9XtBgUeUcGwITTacaUP_K/s640/DSCN1771_zpsb76aad78.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The owner of this card is selling it privately. I have first dibs. The only problem I have with this card is the severe lack of patch, and the price he wants me to pay. If the patch was better, I could see $85, but not the way it is here. While this card features an autograph of David Ortiz, I still think I want the button card more than this. I might be able to get this card too, though.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So this coming weekend is going to be nothing short of a blast for me. William, over at Foulbunt, is going to meet me and browse with me at the show, and from there, we will drive tandem up to my house in Va where we are going to stay up until all hours talking cards, eating my moms awesome ribs, and feasting on my moms signature nachos and cheese. I'm really looking forward to the end of this week, because I know it is going to be so much fun! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So that will do it for tonight, please let me know what you think of these cards! Thanks for the read!</div>

We have been doing a lot of small trades here and there, and they have been quite easy, pleasant, and painless. I have also enjoyed the little bit of friendly conversation that he and I have had over email. There just don't seem to be a whole lot of social and friendly people in the world anymore, so to run across one like I have is always a nice surprise. Anyway, I will share with you what I have gotten from him the past several weeks!<div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5JnEiS7nol5FUdZi78sS1IrerYAN-MMl2RMGbq6VECimJtd5WYoZ1skNms6dx6SAoKUQE62dNWH9G4rbkeHVLSaYj36nRt29sG39MBmGfOhKCLTE6eFZuRaGaWEhl6xmQtNPDcEfS5nCX/s640/blogger-image-1074995398.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5JnEiS7nol5FUdZi78sS1IrerYAN-MMl2RMGbq6VECimJtd5WYoZ1skNms6dx6SAoKUQE62dNWH9G4rbkeHVLSaYj36nRt29sG39MBmGfOhKCLTE6eFZuRaGaWEhl6xmQtNPDcEfS5nCX/s640/blogger-image-1074995398.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">So this black mini parallel from 2013 Allen and Ginter, along with the regular Ortiz 2013 Ginter Mini he sent me, are nice additions to my Ortiz PC. These were actually very generous throw ins for a package that was mostly centered around the following card.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6zeTQw9yVSh4bbWvg5HOiynMGtLjR3VqogHuQ76Ux7Ojj3QmdVT9S-X2BhyTXYSnK3kZzMGn7Iuhony73xzk3ET49BYLoCdV2FKGR1NwJYCGlqQErVGoBai23-U5WfaZJ3u7hnmPa6wvp/s640/blogger-image-535836429.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6zeTQw9yVSh4bbWvg5HOiynMGtLjR3VqogHuQ76Ux7Ojj3QmdVT9S-X2BhyTXYSnK3kZzMGn7Iuhony73xzk3ET49BYLoCdV2FKGR1NwJYCGlqQErVGoBai23-U5WfaZJ3u7hnmPa6wvp/s640/blogger-image-535836429.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">This is a David Ortiz All-Star Stitches relic from 2012 Topps Update.

Another great addition to the PC.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">About a week or so after I got this card package in the mail, he sent me a scan of a David Ortiz die cut card he pulled from 2013 Topps Chrome and asked me if I was interested. Obviously I was, so he sent me the following card for whatever I feel is fair for it.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisg7Is2RPvh4nmY5sPPh9iOUEEqN2Q3mkSE0paxI6KMH6v_T5XsLb31EBRlFJxqcm0vLoxsiRQgIw23h1ixP5UjcIBOdIF-LWMByqrQyOQ3G8_V86exGqO4JwweO8j8go_YIA85NTi8M4K/s640/blogger-image-1614740319.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisg7Is2RPvh4nmY5sPPh9iOUEEqN2Q3mkSE0paxI6KMH6v_T5XsLb31EBRlFJxqcm0vLoxsiRQgIw23h1ixP5UjcIBOdIF-LWMByqrQyOQ3G8_V86exGqO4JwweO8j8go_YIA85NTi8M4K/s640/blogger-image-1614740319.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">So if I said that Judson wasn't hooking me up, I would be lying miserably.

This Brian Johnson Red Sox blue refractor autograph to /150 is a beautiful card of a Red Sox pitching prospect that you could very well see pitching at the big league level in a couple of seasons. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Oh, and by the way, I am really bummed about how the blue refractors look in this years Topps Chrome.

First is this David Ortiz Tier One relic from this years Topps Tier One. It's a very nice looking jersey card, and is also numbered 105/399</div>

This is a David Ortiz dual relic card from 2013 Topps Tribute. It is absolutely gorgeous!! The idea behind this relic design was to depict where a player started playing his career, and then show where he is now using two different swatches of jersey. In this case, the upper relic portion is off of a twins uniform, and the lower relic portion is off of a Red Sox uniform. Very cool idea, I must say. The card is numbered 66/99.</div>

Definitely be checking back for some more posts closer to the 10th of October. I bought myself a SICK $210 dollar edition to my David Ortiz PC that you really don't want to miss seeing. I am not alowed to see the card until my birthday though (parents rule) and it is ABSOLUTELY killing me! Knowing that it is in the house, and not being able to see it is literally tearing me apart. I can't wait until I can do a post on it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So that will do it for tonight, I have to head off to bed a little earlier tonight because it's a school night. Everyone take care, and enjoy the rest of your football filled Sunday evenings!</div>

Hey guys! I have some nice trade packages to review with you this evening. I have been doing lots of trading on Youtube and off of my blog, I am very thankful for this. If anybody would like to set up a trade with me, all you need to do is comment or shoot me an email, and I will be back to you pretty shortly!<br />
<br />
Secondly, I have been filling out college applications....enough to make me want to put a gun to my head, trust me. Some of my friends who are feeling the same way have been asking me why I haven't been phased by all of the hard work and ridiculous applications yet. My answer is "the Red Sox".<br />
<br />
Yes, I have been an extremely happy baseball fan. I mean, this squad is reminding me of the 2004 Red Sox World Series team. They have been amazing me day after day, and week after week. I have been watching every game like I'm addicted. In fact, I am addicted. I simply can't stop thinking about how special the team is this year. They have gelled, and they seem to be having no trouble putting any team to rest. I can't wait for the playoffs, as I have high hopes for the Sox this year.<br />
<br />
So here are some of the cards that I have acquired.<br />

So my buddy William should remember when I sent this autograph card out to Topps. I finally got it back, and in a decent amount of time, too! I saw on Sportscenter that he clocked a 24 mph base running speed running around 3rd base a little while back. That is simply crazy if Eaton did actually run almost 25 mph.</div>

I got this nice Jamie Callahan autograph card thrown into a package from Youtube. This auto is really cheap on eBay, but the kid is 18 years old and has a fastball that tops out at 94 mph!! That's pretty bad ass if you ask me. Callahan is somebody new in the Sox organization that I will definitely start following now. I think someday he may get his chance in the big leagues, hopefully in a Red Sox uniform.</div>

My friends and close friends know that I am NOT a big fan of Jacoby Ellsbury. In fact, I hope we rid ourselves of his soon to become free agent, good for nothing, choker under pressure self. The way he has been performing the last couple months seems to be a fluke. The only thing he is good for is outfield and stealing bases, but if you can't hit your way out of a damn wet paper bag, you can't very well steal bases... But what the hell, I figured I would get a card of Ellsbury seeing as I only have one other Ellsbury bat card. The guy wanted nothing for this card, so no losses for me.</div>

And of course another addition to my David Ortiz PC. This is a Diamond Kings blue parallel dual relic card /100. God I love collecting David's cards. This is a guy I will need to meet at some point in my life. I just love the way he plays the game. He was such an inspiration to me in my baseball career, and I continue to follow him almost obsessively. Just a really awesome guy I think. I am looking to add a BIG card to this PC for my birthday in October if it is still on ebay then. It's a little overpriced, but sometimes you just have to get what you want...</div>

First, this Mike Napoli 15 piece relic card from 2012 Topps Triple Threads /27. I really like Napoli, but will admit that I was very weary about his injury prone hip when we signed him. That hip has held him back from producing great numbers MANY times with the Rangers. The injury bug doesn't seem to have gotten him while in Boston yet, but I think eventually we are going to have some problems with his hip. I hope that he has some solid years in Boston, though, because I really enjoy watching him play.</div>

This Jonny Gomes autograph was another nice pickup I thought. Gomes has actually really surprised me this year. I guess I didn't think much of him, and didn't really care much for the contract that brought him here to Boston, but I have come to like him. Beautiful card, though!</div>

I really like this Jake Peavy Upper Deck Antiquity patch card /50. Just look at all the detail in the patch swatch. Peavy was another guy that I liked the idea of coming to Boston. Great pitcher, lots of potential and talent, but I didn't like what we gave up for him. Our prospect at shortstop, Jose Iglesias, was shipped to Detroit for Peavy...</div>

This card was a must have for a TRUE Boston fan. Although Youkilis was traded to the White Sox and then to the Yankees, I'm not holding anything against him. Thing is, is that nobody can deny him his hard work, team spirit, go gettem' attitude, and not to mention all the positive contributions he made to the 2007 Red Sox World Series Championship team. Youkilis won't be remembered for the seasons he has played with Chicago and New York, rather, the Red Sox. We just couldn't keep on holding onto an injury prone player. Unfortunately, Youk just didn't make the cut...</div>

So I hope everybody enjoyed. It isn't much, but it's all I could muster up for tonight. School has started, and so has my senior year, which means applications, applications and more applications to get together. I will be very busy this year, but you had best believe I will be surrounding myself with this great hobby whenever I have a chance to. Anyway, thanks for the read! And GO SOX!!!</div>

It turned out to be a terrible day to visit the school, as it rained practically the entire time, but as it turns out, I really liked the school. Bentley University in Waltham, MA is still my favorite of the three I visited, but it really was a nice school. So anyway, not the most practical day for college visits, but a PERFECT day to do some antiquing. I picked up some very nice things that I am going to share with you.<br>
<br>
I know this isn't a blog about coins, but I do still collect them, and have since I was about 8 years old.

I got an All Star Stitches relic card of Mike Napoli out of the hanger box too! There is a bad feature to this card though. Look more closely...<br />

It looks worse in person, but yes, Topps ruined a perfectly good card.....AGAIN! Topps' QC can't be too great, I seem to be pulling all of the cards that were nice until Topps manhandled them....I'm still debating on whether or not I should send this back. I'm leaning towards yes, but any suggestions??<br />

Very bad scan of this card, but take my word for it...I'ts pretty nice. This came in a trade package from a buddy on Youtube. Since Victorino has been pretty hot in the Sox organization this year, I figured I would add something nice to my collection with his name on it.<br />

This ended up being a major bust because at some point before Friday when I checked to make sure the show was still on, I discovered the disheartening fact that the show had been moved out to Hickory NC. I quickly notified William, and we re-planned what and how we were going to do things. I'll just say that I'm very glad that our original plans did not work out, and while browsing at the show would have been nice, what we ended up doing resulted in a much more enjoyable and fun time.<div><br></div><div>So what we ended up doing was me driving down to William's house so we could cool our heels, visit local card shops, break a box of cards together, and just talk baseball. Upon arrival to William's house, we all piled into my dad's Mustang, and he directed us to a very tasty sandwich shop in the downtown area. When we were finished eating, we started hitting the card shops. The first was in Kinston. Here are some of the things I picked up.</div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiv7-QmGo7RoG5AVNDeiDgCeDXel5LU7S5gGNERlXW6rV4GLsS7hGFSbRbui06x70HTeN4KAQJIUhj1iX1jjEWTvCyIOyulOO7oc5L7VLQjdbxjwARUsNGytTEGf53_TR3xJWAw0S4b1hLC/s640/blogger-image--683370330.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiv7-QmGo7RoG5AVNDeiDgCeDXel5LU7S5gGNERlXW6rV4GLsS7hGFSbRbui06x70HTeN4KAQJIUhj1iX1jjEWTvCyIOyulOO7oc5L7VLQjdbxjwARUsNGytTEGf53_TR3xJWAw0S4b1hLC/s640/blogger-image--683370330.jpg"></a></div>This is a 2008 Topps David Ortiz World Baseball Classic card.

So that will do it for tonight! I hope you all enjoyed, and as always please don't hesitate to let me know if you have some Ortiz cards that you would like to trade. I hope everybody has a wonderful evening, I'm out!</div>

I'm also pretty excited about what I may be able to find Ortiz-wise at the card show in Raleigh, NC on July 20th. I have been saving some serious money for this show, so hopefully I will be able to find some nice things to add to my David Ortiz PC. If I can't find anything there, eBay will be having a rather serious visit from me... Before I begin to show some of the nice cards I have acquired in trades and purchases, I will ask all of you to check and see if you have any David Ortiz relic, patch, or autograph cards. If you find ANYTHING, please let me know and I will be more than willing to set up a trade or sale for the card(s). Without further a due, here are my most recent additions...<br />

Especially with it being numbered to 15. Leaf may not be an especially reputable card maker, but the card itself sure is rare.</div>

This Tom Seaver relic card is pretty da** sick. In the words of Forrest Gump..."That's all I have to say about that". I packsearched a Walmart in South Jersey after attending my Uncle's funeral. He passed just recently, and that's why I was up there. I found this card in a rack pack, and it brought my spirit up a little bit after I pulled it. Hey, I will take a numbered to 50 HOF relic card for $5 out of Walmart any day! Please note that I <b>AM NOT</b> one of those AVID packsearchers who make trips to find these things, I really just do it when it's convenient and want to get something better than base cards. I really feel like I rescued this card from some 10 year olds bedroom floor where it sits there and either gets stepped on or just gathers dust. This type of card simply DOES NOT belong in retail. It's just a little bit too rare. </div>

This Ortiz card is from 2013 Topps Museum Collection, and I just picked it up recently off of Ebay. I can't express how much I love this Topps product. The autographs and the patches are just so SICK! The card design is looking quite sweet also. I picked this one up pretty cheap because of the fact that the foiling on the top of the card is missing. I saw the patch on this sucker before I even noticed the foil was missing, so I knew I had to pick it up. The missing foil, to me, takes away none of the value this card holds, and I am very happy to have found it so cheap. This patch is off of one of last year's uniforms, though. It is from the 100 years at Fenway exclusive patch that appeared on the left hand sleeve of every jersey. Pretty cool!</div>

This Anthony Rizzo autograph is a card I pulled last week at the card shop. The chipping seen at the top of the card was there when I pulled it, but it's nothing too serious. I have it on Ebay right now if anybody is interested in buying it.</div>

This year's Gypsy Queen has also been taking a toll on my wallet! I bought 10 rack packs when it debuted and I found this autograph along with two relics in the packs. Familia has been up and down with the Mets the past season, but I expect that he will be a common face in MLB a couple of years down the road. I was watching some of his pitching on Youtube, and let me tell you, this kid has a good arm! Aside from the player himself, the autograph also has some character as it is signed sideways, and is about as crisp and clean as autographed baseball cards get. An all around nice production from Topps.</div>

This is the 2013 Topps Gypsy Queen Magenta printing plate of David Ortiz. I was watching several of these last year and they went for about $50 a pop! I bought this card off of Ebay and was fortunate enough to win the auction by 12 cents. LOL what can I say, that's just luck! Very nice card from Topps, again!</div>

So that's going to do it for tonight. Remember, if you have any Ortiz cards you think would fit nicely into my Ortiz PC please leave a comment and I will be in touch with you ASAP about it. I have several packages coming in the mail soon. One is from California and the other is from England, but both contain very nice additions to my Ortiz PC so I am very anxious to have those show up in my mailbox. When they do I will surely post about them and tell you about a little bit of the other stuff I got with them. So until then I might stick to posting about popular baseball gossip and rumors...Who knows what the coming days in baseball will uncover, there are surely plenty of things to converse about. Until then, you guys take care and have fun breaking baseball cards!</div>

I guess that's the way it goes though. I enjoy sitting down and blogging my stuff though, just fun to show it off to an audience who actually cares! <br />
<br />
For those of you who don't already know, I have been dealing with the death of my Uncle whom I was closest to. He died of a massive heart attack at the age of 68...too young to die. He at least had 7 years of retirment under his belt though and had traveled across the country with my Aunt doing everything they ever wanted to do several times. So I can't say he didn't die without doing everything he wanted to do... he went to every State and National Park between New Hampshire and California, and even went to Sturgis for bike week.<br />
<br />
Shoutout to my beyond amazing friend, William for sending a thoughtful card my way with prayers. That just about made my day William, much appreciated!<br />
<br />
On a brighter note though, I have been buying, trading, and selling cards like crazy lately. I wanted to share some of my more interesting things with you guys. I'm not going to waste any time, so I will just jump right into it. There is some really cool stuff here I think.<br />

Yes, I do a little packsearching...Nothing new to you guys out there, but I don't do it to turn around and sell the cards like most guys do. I watched a video on Youtube recently about some guys driving around on what they called a "packsearching roadtrip". Get a life...lol But this Danny Espinosa relic card fell into the right collectors hands. I love Espinosa, as he is a hustle player and plays the game with a lot of heart. Can't ask for much more in a player! I thought the relic card design looks pretty awesome though!</div>

This is a REALLY crappy scan of this card, but it is a Dustin Pedroia autograph from 2012 Gypsy Queen I traded for on Youtube. It's a very sharp looking card, take my word for it. All I gave to the kid for it was a Robinson Cano All-Star stitches relic card from 2012...Can't really complain with that! Awesome on card auto!</div>

I just got this David Ortiz 2009 UD spx patch card in the mail today! Bought it off of COMC for an absolute steal. It is serial numbered to /99. Will definitely be doing business with COMC again. I had a very painless experience with them which is more than I can say about Ebay....</div>

Notice something wrong about this gold foil card? No name and no Topps logo. Error cards are cool, just hope that they aren't too common in this years Topps products. (this card should have the Topps logo and Shelby Miller printed on the front)</div>

These emerald sparkle cards are awesome! I really love the color of emerald and have always been a sucker for green, so way to go Topps! I thought this Yu Darvish was nice and I also really liked this Sean Marshall as well. (you may be wondering who Sean is and why I like him. It's because I know him personally and have taken pitching lessons with him)</div>

So this card has seemed to spark quite a lot of arguements on Youtube already...people are bickering about whether or not it's a "1/1". Personally I think it is. Here, take a closer look....</div>

This is what the serial number on the back reads. (0001/2013) So what do you guys think? I think it is cool! 1/1? I have no idea now....I always thought when you got number one out of a serial number it was unique and was a "1/1"....Please, let me know what you all think about it though, because at this rate, I have no idea whether it's even relevant or not. I had to remove 2 videos from Youtube already because of trashy choice comments shot back in forth between two users (who will remain nameless). One arguing about it being a 1/1, and the other arguing that it wasn't a 1/1...I have no clue anymore so if somebody can clarify, that would be greatly appreciated.</div>

These are cards from 2012 update series, 2012 Topps Bowman Platinum and various other cards...Enjoy!<br />

This Tyler Matzek green refractor I pulled retail out of one of those silly rack packs. Pretty nice card to pull out of Bowman Platinum.</div>

This Liam Hendricks was also pulled from a Hobby pack. From 2010 Bowman Chrome if I recall correctly. He was projected to be a pretty good prospect, but he doesn't seem to be making a huge impact in the majors thus far...Still, a very fine blue refractor.</div>

These two relic cards were pulled retail out of Hanger boxes I believe. The Robinson Cano is ehh being a Red Sox fan, but the Miguel Cabrera is pretty neat seeing as he won the Triple Crown in 2012. </div>

So again, I hope you all are enjoying the updates. I know I have even more cool stuff to show off. So like I had said, stick around and try to be the first to see it! This may the last post of the evening, but I will try to post tonight on 2013 Topps baseball and the 1/1 Mike Trout I pulled, but again no promises! There is no telling what will pop up preventing me from posting, because something always has a way of presenting itself AS I sit down to post...Well until then, see ya! </div>
