I got some nice cards back signd from Greg Dobbs recently. The above 2008 Topps was a good choice, and turned out well. This probably isn't Topps's best effort, but the design is clean, and I like how they did the team names in alternating bubbles at the top. The border is pretty restrictive on the photo, though.
This is a 2013 Topps mini. I like getting these signed and out of my box. They were able to be had cheaply back then, and I bought a couple boxes to bust with my buddy, Andrew. I got rid of most of the base cards, but still have a small handful in my 2013 Topps box.
I really like this 2011 Topps update of Dobbs. For some reason, I have always liked the infield dirt shown on cards. This one just looks cool, and looks even better now that it is signed.
Dobbs (b. 1978) played in the majors from 2004 to 2014 for the Mariners, Phillies, Marlins and Nationals. He had 548 hits, 46 home runs and a .261 batting average. He won the World Series with the Phillies in 2008.
I mailed to Dobbs on November 16 and got the cards back on December 7, for a 21-day TAT.
He generally got good cards from Topps; the 2013 is one of my favorites. His 2014 Heritage is also unique. I need to fill out his player page of 9 cards some day.
