More 50/50s From John In Texas

I got a package in the mail a couple weeks ago from my friend, John, in Texas.  In it was another stack of 50/50s that he was able to complete for me.  I had forgotten that I sent him these cards, but they got done and look great.  The highlight is this 2018 Bowman Chrome JB Bukauskas atomic refractor numbered to 150.
John got me a ton of Bukauskas, since I missed him last year when Buies Creek came through.  John looks like he was really persistent with him, and got me a bunch of cards done.
I had even tried to get my friend, Ben, to get some of these done last year, but by the time he got to the games, Bukauskas was already called up to AA.
I'm trying to avoid typing Bukauskas too much, but it is tough.
Man, that was a lot of Bukauskas cards.
It is always nice when I can add a 2017 Wood Ducks card to my set.  There are a couple of guys who will be impossible to get, but for the most part, I have done well with the set.
John also started me a Frisco set, and they look really cool.  It is nice to see some AA cards of the former Wood Ducks.
A lot of these guys are missed, and one of them (Altmann) is back.
Ronnie Dawson has started personalizing, but that's ok.  I aready had the 2017 Heritage Minors, and the Top Prospects card is mine anyway.
Finally, John got this Justin Ferrell card signed for my Buies Creek set from 2017.  I liked this design, and am glad to get it back signed.

Graphing the Astros At Wood Ducks on May 30, 2018

The Buies Creek Astros are the Carolina League team that I had the fewest cards of to get signed.  I also didn't have a whole lot in 50/50s to get done.  Add on top of that, the fact that I have finished a bunch of Wood Ducks, I wasn't too busy Thursday night.

Still, I got a few cards signed, and they all turned out great.  The above blue sparkle 2013 Topps Anthony Gose turned out so well.  I had bought the card off of COMC right when I saw that he was added to the roster.
These two Spike Owens came in the Goodwill boxes I bought in Winston-Salem back in April.  I especially like the Best of the National League 1990 Donruss.
Finally, the two guys I was able to get from Buies Creek, JJ Matijevic and Ronnie Dawson.  I tried to get Morgan Ensberg, but he wouldn't sign.
