My friend, Michael, sent me a really nice birthday gift that had several autographs included. He contributed to my Sonny Gray side-PC with this really nice Topps Chrome auto. This is the Team Logo autograph and is numbered 1/25.
I haven't added too much to the Gray PC this year, but I probably ought to. With the terrible season that he has had this year, the values on his cards and autos has gone down tremendously. I got a few Gray cards at the National (that I will show soon) for really cheap prices.
Another guy who's stock has fallen is Orioles #1 draft pick, Hunter Harvey. Harvey has frequented the DL more often than not in his brief professional career. He has a long road ahead after having Tommy John surgery earlier this season. This is an IP auto on a 2015 Bowman that Michael sent along.
Michael also included two Jimmy Nelson autos and a bunch of refractors from 2016 Chrome. I have known Michael for almost 5 years now, and have spent a lot of time with him at Orioles Fan Fest and some Orioles games. When I went to Baltimore in July, I was able to have dinner with him, and ride around the city (once going the wrong way down a one-way street. Oops.). Michael is a great guy and I am glad we are good friends. He is off to college now, working toward a career that I am certain that he will excel in. He is one driven kid. Thank you so much for the gift, Michael!
