TTM Success - Conner Capel

When I am able to get an old team set card signed TTM, that is always a good day.  I also got two other cards back signed with this TTM success from Conner Capel, so I definitely was excited.  The above 2018 Carolina League Top Prospects card turned out nicely, and has been liberated from my box.

He also signed my 2019 Topps Heritage Minors and 2019 Bowman, which both turned out great, as well.

Capel (b. 1997) was a 5th round pick by the Indians in the 2016 June Amateur Draft out of Seven Lakes High School in Texas.  He has played in the minors since 2016 for the Indians and Cardinals organizations, reaching AAA.  He has 475 hits, 58 home runs and a .250 batting average.

I mailed to Capel on April 29, 2020, and got the cards back on March 28, 2022, for a 698-day TAT.

Christmas GIft From Nick S.

My buddy, Nick, sent me a nice little package for Christmas that had a few autos and a nice rookie card included.  This Ashe Russell Bowmans Best is a really pretty card.  It is numbered 21/99.  I don't know much about Russell, but the card is nice, and I plan to hold onto it.

Nick included this Panini Prizm Manny Machado RC with the package.  Manny probably won't be an Oriole for much longer, but this card will stay in the collection.

Finally, Nick included this 2016 Bowman Conner Capel IP auto.  This will be put into my album with all of my other IP and TTM autos.

Thank you so much for the Christmas gift, Nick, I really appreciate it!!
