While these cards sat in my to-be-blogged stack, I actually met and got John Gant to sign in person on our road trip to Iowa this summer. These cards shown on this post came in before that because I sent to Gant TTM. I didn't know that I'd meet him later in the summer. I was happy to get my 2014 Bowman purple parallel signed, however. This card had been floating around my boxes for some time.
I also got a 2016 Topps Update and 2021 Topps Update signed. Both of these turned out nicely.
Finally, here is a 2022 Topps Update that Gant signed. I'm glad he signed all four in blue Sharpie.
Gant (b. 1992) played in the majors from 2016 to 2021 for the Braves, Cardinals and Twins. He has a record of 24-26 with 325 strike outs and a 3.89 ERA. Since 2021, Gant has bounced around a bit. He didn't play in 2022 or 2024; but spent 2023 in Japan while playing in independent ball briefly this season and then having his contract purchased by the Royals, who assigned him to Omaha.
I mailed to Gant on April 28 and got the cards back on May 13 for a 15-day TAT.
