A couple older Bowman cards were freed from the Bowman box recently when I sent these two cards TTM to Carl Thomore. Getting cards like these signed is a lot of fun; I am able to learn about past minor leaguers who were around before I started graphing in person.
Thomore (b. 1993) was a 2nd round pick by the Rockies in the 2011 June Amateur Draft out of East Brunswick High School in New Jersey. He played in the minors from 2011 to 2014 in the Rockies and White Sox systems. He reached low A Kannapolis prior to leaving affiliated ball in 2014. He continued to independent ball in 2015 and 2016.
He had 159 hits, 8 home runs and a .213 batting average during his time with affiliated teams.
I mailed to Thomore on December 4 and got the cards back on January 6 for a 33-day TAT. He included a note that said "Thanks for loving this great game. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to your family."
