TTM Success - Alex Blandino

When I pulled this card out of a pack of 2014 Bowman, I knew I wanted to get it signed.  I held onto it for a long time, until I saw that Alex Blandino was signing.  I sent it along, and it came back signed in red Sharpie.  The card was damaged a bit in the mail, which sucks, but the card is now signed and in my album.

Blandino (b. 1992) has played in the majors for the Reds in 2018, 2019 and 2021.  He has 53 hits, 2 home runs and a .226 batting average.  He was a first round (29th overall) pick in the 2014 June Amateur Draft by the reds out of Stanford University.

I mailed to Blandino on October 1 and got the card back on February 20, for a 142-day TAT.
