August 2019 Graphing of the Mudcats At Wood Ducks

The first series in Kinston after I got back from the National was between the Mudcats and Wood Ducks.  I took a bunch of the cards that I found at the National, and got them signed.

This Tristen Lutz was in a box at the National for $2.00.  It turned out really well, and I was happy to get it signed.

I continued to work on my Mudcats set when I got these cards signed by Christian Taugnet and Pat McInerney. 

These Mario Feliciano cards turned out great.  I thought I had gotten him earlier in the season, but I guess I didn't.

I was able to get Brice Turang on a 2019 Pro Debut.  He signed a lot better for us during this series than the past one, so I was able to get some 50/50s done, as well.

I got these two Lutz cards from the National as well.  The left one is the glossy version of his 2018 Heritage Minors, and the right one is a 2017 Bowman Chrome refractor.

I liked this Stars and Stripes relic that I found cheap in a relic/auto box at the show.  I got Devin Hairston to sign it, and I hope to add some of the other guys to it.

My friend, Ben, gave me this Brewers autograph card.  I got it signed by Payton Henry, and it turned out well.

I found more Phil Bickford cards than anything at the National.  I was able to get them all signed, and of course, they all look great.

They're all parallels, and will look awesome in my album.

I was disappointed that there weren't more places that had Bowman parallels at the National, but I was able to find some good stuff.

I finished up my Yanio cards when I got this last custom card signed.  I got it from a Rangers fan that I 50/50 with, and got all of his stuff done.

I found some nice Eric Jenkins cards while at the show.  The above card is a mini 2017 Bowman.  I found some of these of Leody Taveras and Anderson Tejeda that I will put away.

Both of these parallels of EJ turned out well.

I was really happy when I found this 2016 Bowman Chrome Orange Shimmer refractor in a quarter box at the show.  I ran into a bunch of them and hoped there would be someone in there who I could get to sign.  When I saw this Jairo Beras, I was stoked.  I also found this Rize card at a booth that had a bunch of there, and some Perfect Game cards.

These two Michael Matuella cards turned out well.  I like the black refractor from 2015 Bowman Chrome (left).

I had seen someone at a Wood Ducks game with the Bubba Thompson on the left.  I was glad to find one at the National.  I also found the blue parallel from 2017 Bowman.  The blue parallels look great when signed.

Speaking of blue parallels, these two Noah Bremers really look great.  I don't know why I didn't have any of these before, but I was glad to add them now.

May 18-20 Graphing of Dash at Wood Ducks

After my almost month-long break from Wood Ducks games, I hit Grainger Stadium hard the last week by weeing three different teams, and getting a ton of cards signed.  During the three-game series against the Winston-Salem Dash between May 18  and 20, I was able to get quite a lot done.

Chris and I caught all three games, even though the Saturday game was rained out.  It was pushed to Sunday, where we were able to see a double header.

I finished up a bunch of 50/50s, and am almost done with what I had gotten pre-season for the Wood Ducks.

I also am already just about done with new addition, Eric Jenkins.  I didn't have many of his cards as it is, but I got all of my stuff and most of the 50/50s done.

I missed Guillermo Quiroz during the last series with the Dash, but I was able to get all of the cards I had for him completed.

 I got Chris's Luis Basabe from the 2017 Carolina League Top Prospects set done.  I also was able to get Zach Thompson, whom I missed last time.

These two horizontal cards turned out really nicely, especially since I kept missing this 2015 All-Star Basabe.

I added a few more Dylan Cease.  He dominated the Wood Ducks on Friday night.  I doubt he will be in the Carolina League much longer.

I had picked up a whole bunch of Blake Rutherford's cards in the offseason, and was able to get a few of them done, along with a bunch of 50/50s.

These two Rutherfords are probably the ones I like the most.

I was able to finish off these two Yeyson Yrizarri cards that I had from Hickory sets.  He was once a Wood Duck, but was traded to the White Sox last season.

I was really glad to add some Omar Vizquels to the collection.  I got his 89 Topps Traded RC signed, along with some other Topps issued, 1997, 2006 and 2009.

This 2006 Allen & Ginter Vizquel really came out nice.  I got a bunch of mine done, so next time I see him, I will be getting a few 50/50s taken care of.

These last two are of Anthony Gose and a 2018 Bowman Talent Pipeline Rangers card with Taveras.  My friend, Ethan, said he would finish the card for me.  I hope he can.
