The seismic shift has been postponed and the Padres have won 4 in a row

When I asked if other Oregon and Washington bloggers wanted to get together on May 24 around the Mall 205 card show, I failed to realize that my wife had scheduled us to go to Eugene for her Dads 82nd Birthday celebration. If possible I would like to postpone the get together until June  28, when there is another show.


I picked this up last week on eBay.  All I know about him is what is on the card back.  Born in 1994 in the Dominican Republic signed as a free agent by the Padres in 2011.  The card actually looks pretty nice, all that stuff is on my scanner.  Franchy brings me to 851 signed cards.

Attention Oregon and Washington bloggers

Sorry to all those in other parts of the country, but on May 24, 2015 there will be a major shift in the blogging communities of Oregon and Washington.  On that day there is a Card Show at Mall 205 and I would like to propose that we get together.  I know that Baseball Card Breakdown, The Prowling Cat, The Diamond King and myself have all gone to the show before.  There are several restaurants real close to the mall that we could have lunch together at.  If you are interested let me know by leaving a comment here or email me at padrographs at live dot com.

While I have your attention I will let you know that I have only picked up one new padrograph.  I picked up a Jason Hardtke card, I had never seem one of him in a major league uni before until I got this card.  I still have six cards out in the mail, Dave Stewart, Tony Clark, Chip Ambres, Joaquin Benoit, Josh Johnson and Seth Smith.
