May 2019 Graphing of Potomac Nationals at Down East Wood Ducks

Last week, the Potomac Nationals came to Kinston for the first and only time this season.  Luckily, I finished off most everything that I had for them.  KJ Harrison limited to 2 per, so I had a fvew of his cards leftover, but they were all the same kind of card, so it was ok to miss him there.

I got a bunch of his stuff done, regardless of him putting up a limit.  I helped my friend, Gerard out with a few for 50/50s as well.

I finihed off Nick Banks and Nick Raquet, and I feel like those two will have moved up be the time I see Potomac next season.  Maybe the Nationals will get some good prospects in to take their place.

My COMC order came in before this series started, so I was able to get Kenny Holmberg on his bat boy card from 1993 Classic, and also a 2011 Bowman orange parallel.

I also got a couple 2019 Bowman JP Martinez inserts done, and they turned out really well.  I had to run him down, since he went under the bleachers, but the cards got done.

June 25 Graphing of Potomac Nationals at Down East Wood Ducks

Chris and I embarked on a four-stadium two-state tour that began on Monday night, June 25 with a stop to see our friends, the Wood Ducks take on the Potomac Nationals.  I missed the Nationals last season, so I was glad that I had a shot to see them this year before we left for our trip.  I took some 50/50s for Gerard, and I was able to get everyone that I had come to see.

I had a ton of Jakson Reetz cards put aside that I was finally able to get signed.  He was really nice, and signed everything that we had.  The 2014 Bowman Ice (top left) and 2014 Bowman Green (top middle) parallels really turned out well.  The green parallel is numbered 33/75.

I was able to get several team set cards done, like the above South Atlantic League All Star cards, and the Hickory Crawdad cards.

I also knocked off two of the cards I needed for my 2018 Carolina League All Star set.

Will Crowe and Nick Raquet were really nice, and I was able to get some 2017 Bowman done.  I powdered them all and they turned out great.

I was really excited to get the Stars and Stripes Nick Banks done because I kept seeing it in my minors box.  I also found a few of his Bowman and got those taken care of.

Carlos Maldonado has left the Wood Ducks to manage Spokane now that their season has started.  Guilder Rodriguez has been added to the staff and I found his 2015 Topps base and chrome to get signed.

Finally, I got this Rhett Wiseman done in a 50/50 for Gerard.  He had sent them last year, and I finally got them signed for him.

After the game, Chris and I headed to Raleigh to fly out the next morning to Texas.  Stay tuned for the next leg of that trip, Globe Life Stadium.
