1462, 1332, 10, 4, and 8

 It has been a minute since I last posted but Night Owls' post about the number of bloggers who post once is motivating me to at least try that. I have written 1,462 post since starting in 2008.  Back then I was working 40 hours or more (at a job I loved).  Now I work 25 hours a week for a friend, I like my job but oh boy some of the people.  Looking forward to school starting in two weeks.  I will try and stop in regularly from here on out.  

With the addition of two Padres autographs from 2025 I now have 1,332 different padres signatures.  

Sean Reynolds has pitched in 18 games for the Padres this year in relief.  He is currently pitching at El Paso.

Brandon Lockridge played in 47 games for the Padres this year before being traded at the deadline to Milwaukee for Nestor Cortes.








 I only have ten cards left to finish my 1965 Topps football set.  The remaining cards are Willie Brown, Len Dawson, Ralph Baker, Winston Hill, Joe Namath, Fred Blitnekoff, Ben Davidson, and three others I am bidding on.  It could be awhile.  This is one of the last cards I received, it has been a long time since I received a card in a screw down.
This is my latest custom card, Shoebox Heroes, Series 2, card # 496.

Tom Wiedenbauer played four games for the Astro's in 1976.  He has been a coach in the Cleveland system since the 80's.   

The other when I got the mail I realized that I had a return of a TTM card.  I have mailed any cards out for signatures for at least five years.  When I checked I mailed this card to Mr. Cahill in 2017.  It is a custom I had sent him.  He included an actual 2017 Heritage card with this one.  

Thanks for stopping by and hopefully I will see you in a week.  I am trying this Google link things.

I wonder if Topps will end up having Nestor sign any cards featuring him as a Padre. #fingerscrossed

1,332 different Padres signatures...that's impressive. Someday I'll have to figure out how many Angels I have. Be nice to know.

Those black-border 2025 autographs look very nice.

Good to hear from you. Isn't it odd that when you have more free time you blog less? That's definitely a thing.
