The cards I sent were a 2002 and 1989 Topps. They both turned out great, and I'm glad I got them out of the boxes.

Now that the ComiCon is out of the way, it's time for me to focus on getting prepped for the season.
Jaroncyk (b. 1977) was a first round pick by the Mets in the 1995 June Amateur Draft out of Orange Glen High School in California. He played in the Mets system from 1995 to 1997 and the Dodgers system from 1999 to 2000. He reached high A. He had 134 hits, 1 home run and a .237 batting average.
I mailed to Jaroncyk on March 6 and got the card back on March 14, for an 8-day TAT.
Bacon (b. 1958) is known for such movies as Friday the 13th, Animal House, She's Having a Baby, Footloose, Tremors and A Few Good Men. Obviously, he's been in a ton more. So much so, there's a fun game to play, Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon. I used to love playing that.

Rei (b. 1993) was a 3rd round pick by the Red Sox in the 2015 June Amateur Draft out of the University of Washington. He played in the minors from 2015 to 2019 and 2021. He reached AA in the Red Sox system, then went to the Diamondbacks AA for a season. He finished his career in independent ball in 2022. In affiliated ball, he had a total of 242 hits, 19 home runs and a .216 batting average. I'm sure I got Rei on a 2015 Bowman when he played at Salem, but I went ahead and sent this one to get it out of the box.
I mailed to Rei on February 10 and got the cards back on March 14 for a 33-day TAT.
Barberie (b. 1967) played in the majors from 1991 to 1996 for the Expos, Marlins, Orioles and Cubs. He had 388 hits, 16 home runs and a .271 batting average. He finished 5th in the 1991 NL Rookie of the Year voting.
I mailed to the signing on November 16 and got the cards back today (March 14), for a 119-day TAT. I got a special on the signing; 4 cards for $50.
