A private signing popped up with former Oriole Mark Reynolds. I had a bunch of his cards that I wanted to get signed, but at his price point, I narrowed it down to three cards. The above 2013 Topps short print was actually from a game I was at with Ryan. I believe it was the Brooks Robinson sculpture dedication game. He (Ryan, not Mark Reynolds) can comment and confirm.
I also sent off the above 2011 Topps Black Diamond wrapper redemption card and the 2011 Topps Diamond Die cut card. Both of these are really great cards to add to the album.
Reynolds (b. 1983) played in the majors from 2007 to 2019 for the Diamondbacks, Orioles, Indians, Yankees, Brewers, Cardinals, Rockies and Nationals. He had 1,283 hits, 298 home runs and a .236 batting average. He finished 20th in the 2009 NL MVP race.
I mailed to the signing on October 16 and got the cards back on December 12 for a 57-day TAT. I paid a fee of $45.00.

Correct. We were at that game with our wives. There are clips on Youtube of the Reynolds play and of the Brooks Statue dedication ceremony. Brooks said that night that he didn't consider any of the people that were there that night fans, he considered us all fans. There will never be another Brooks Robinson.
