TTM Success - Christian Binford

Here are more cards that I was able to get signed TTM that normally would have been taking up space in my prospects box.  I believe I had actually moved these to the Box of Shame, as Christian Binford had been with Bowie, I think.  I'm pretty sure I was set to graph him, but missed him.  Thankfully, I was able to get some of his cards signed anyway.  The above 2015 Topps Pro Debut really turned out great.

I was really glad to get these two 2014 Bowmans signed, as I had a bunch of them at one time when 14 Bowman first came out.  I got a lot of cards from that set signed, then they kind of plateaued as guys either dropped out of the minors, or made the majors and got tougher to graph.

Binford (b. 1992) was a 30th round pick by the Royals out of high school in the 2011 June Amateur Draft.  He played in the minors in the Royals, Orioles and Tigers systems from 2012 to 2018.  He had a 38-56 record with 645 strike outs and a 4.32 ERA.

I mailed to Binford on December 17 and got the cards back on January 25, for a 39-day TAT.

A Stack of Autos From Michael

We haven't talked like we used to, but I still hear from my friend, Michael here and there.  I got a package in the mail from him back in December that had some autos that he said he would get for me, highlighted by the above 1987 Topps Pat Tabler for my set.

I think we got the Lincoln Henzman together at the Wood Ducks, but I could be wrong.  I needed the above 1986 Rich Dauer, which is a nice card.

I had a few Brian Gonzalez cards left over from back when I got him when he was with Frederick.  Michael hooked me up with these to finish me off with him.

Finally, he got me the 1986 Topps League Leaders Mini Harold Baines and a nice 2015 Bowman Chrome shimmer mini Christian Binford.

Thanks for the cards, Michael!
