It has been a marathon weekend of graphing for me. I wasn't going to go yesterday, but I ended up in Kinston, anyway, since my good friend, Gerard, wanted one of the Bill Ellis bobble heads that they were giving away. I also finished up all of the Buies Creek Astros that I had, as well as several more Wood Ducks.
I finally got Peter Fairbanks on a couple cards. He has been just as tough as Lipka, and also wasn't all that friendly. I saw him shaking his head as he walked over, then he was really short with me while I was chatting with him. I'm ok with it, but I just hope that he isn't that way with Chris when he gets back, because Chris really likes him. Maybe he was just having a had day, so I'll chalk it up to that.
I finished off all of the Ti'quan Forbes cards that I had. He's really nice, and seems to be enjoying his promotion to Kinston.
I finally finished all of the Matt Lipka cards that I had, which was nice. He actually stopped pre-game two days in a row, so maybe not that his bat is heating up, he will be more willing to sign for fans.
Finally, I got two more specialty Howard Johnsons signed. The left card is a 1988 Donruss Baseball's Best, and the right is a 1987 Topps Tiffany. I still have Johnsons to get signed, but I am done with everything I have bought special.
I now can take a week off from graphing and can kind of reset. It has been a busy week, but enjoyable. I am also ready for Chris to get back.
