The last weeks have been absolutely crazy and so I have been slow in posting. This weeks Padrographs a couple of through the mail custom cards. Jeremy of Topps Cards That Never Were created a set of 1995 Padres replacement players and I found an address for (Padrograph #1186) Jim Campanis Jr. and sent him this card. He never "officially" played in the majors, but he was a replacement player for the Padres. It only took thirty eight days to get to him and return. Padrograph #1187, Dan Serafini, took a little longer to return to me. I sent the cards to Dan in January of this year and received them back on December 15, so three hundred and forty two days. Dan had a seven year major league career, but only played in three games for the Padres in 2000. He also appeared in eleven games for the Pirates in 2000.
Hope you had a great Thanksgiving. Have a safe and happy holiday season. I'm bummed that I won't be coming up for the holidays. This will be my first Christmas away from Portland in three years.
