2025 National Free Signer - Ron Blomberg

Rom Blomberg was one of the free VIP signers at this year's National, nine years after I had last seen him at the 2016 National.  I had a couple cards left and they got done at this year's show.

The above 2012 Leaf Limited looks great signed by Blomberg in silver paint pen. 

Blomberg was super nice again. If he shows up at another show, I'm going to have to find some more of his cards.

National Free Signer - Ron Blomberg

One of the free signers that I was able to get at the National was former Yankee, Ron Blomberg.  I was able to get one card signed by him, so I chose this 1988 Topps Turn Back The Clock, since I didn't have any of those cards signed yet.  It turned out really nice, I think.

Blomberg (b. 1948) played in the Majors from 1969, 1971 to 1976 and 1978 for the Yankees and White Sox.  He had 391 hits, 52 home runs and a .293 batting average.  He is best known as the first designated hitter in baseball history.
