I feel a little creepy posting this success. Yes, I sent a TTM request to a high school kid. If you no longer feel comfortable reading my blog, that makes two of us. Anyhow, a few weeks ago I pulled a Bubba Starling Bowman Chrome USA card. I did a little reading and was impressed to find out that Bubba is somewhat of a legend. In addition to playing outfield and pitching for the U18 National Team, he also has signed a letter of intent to play QB at Nebraska this fall. Talk about talent!
Most draft experts are expecting Bubba to be one of the top picks in this June's amateur draft. While I know he won't get picked by the Yanks because they aren't picking until #50, it'll be exciting to see where he goes.
Anyhow, Bubba was nice enough to sign this card for me in about a week's time. Pretty cool!
I collected baseball cards from the late '80s through 2002. Then I went to college and when I came out, I was lost. There were too many brands, sets, choices, relics, autos, parallels, variations. It was a turn off. However, I slowly made my way back. So here is my attempt to venture back into the hobby. I'll buy a few packs of cards here and there, comment on some cards I have, send out some TTMs, and follow the progress of my Topps Yankees Project.
