Christmas Gift From Gerard

My friend, Gerard, hooked me up with some nice stuff for Christmas.  The above 2022 Topps Gallery of Yohel Pozo is really nice.  I never got a chance to open this product, so it was a nice surprise.

Gerard did some signings recently with James Triantos and Jared Shuster.  These are some pretty nice cards.  I wanted to participate in the signings, but didn't get time to go through my stuff.  Gerard helped out and I can add these to my album.

It was also really cool that Gerard knocked three guys off of my 1987 Topps checklist.  These three are tougher guys to get, and I am glad to knock them off of the list.

Thank you so much for the Christmas gift, Gerard.  I really appreciate it, and am glad you have helped me with this set.

TTM Success - Yohel Pozo

Another 2022 Topps came in signed recently when I got this TTM success back from former Wood Duck, Yohel Pozo.  I use sportscollectors.net, and no one had listed any success from Pozo on there, yet, so mine went in as the first one.  I thought that was pretty cool.  I mailed to him via the Round Rock Express right after I got my Series 2 cards sorted.  The card turned out great; signed in black Sharpie.

Pozo (b. 1997) made his MLB debut last season where he had 21 hits, 1 home run and a .284 batting average for the Rangers.  I mailed to Pozo on September 16 and got the card back on October 4, for an 18-day TAT.
