A cool thing that happened when Chris and I were on our road trip out west was meeting some of the local graphers at the stadiums that we went to. I was able to connect with one of the ones from Wichita, and he agreed to take some cards that I missed and try to get them signed. He had never done a 50/50 with someone before, but that's not quite what we did. Instead, we pretty much did a league swap. I got him some Wood Ducks, and also some of their opponents. Logan worked on some of my Wichita stuff, and also took some other teams.
Logan saw Corpus Christi after I had left Wichita, so he took some of the cards I had for them. I was really happy to get the above Matt Ruppenthal from my Midwest League All Star set completed, as well as the Joe Perez 2017 Bowman Chrome purple refractor.
Logan sent back a few of the Wichita team set guys I missed; he is still working on some of the others. I tried to get Simeon Woods-Richardson, but missed him completely. I would have knocked out several of his cards, had I been able to stop him. He signs TTM, but it is still nice getting people in person.
Here are the rest of the Corpus Christi guys that Logan got for me. I had these pulled and put aside with Astros stuff, since Fayetteville is their Low A team. I had never pulled the higher-up guys out of the box (thanks for not getting around to it). It ended up making for a quick search when Logan told me he was seeing Astros AA guys.
Thanks for getting the autographs for me, Logan. Next year, we will be able to swap early on, and knock out a lot more stuff!
