His signature is really nice. It bubbled a little which stinks, but overall it still looks nice on this card.
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.

TTM Success: Brandon Laird, brother of Gerald
Last week, I sent this good-looking 2011 Bowman card (courtesy of Napkin Doon) to Brandon Laird, a prospect in the Yankees system. Brandon is the brother of major league catcher Gerald Laird. He possesses a great bat that will carry him to the big leagues, as he was the Eastern League MVP last year. No small feat. He's a 3B but has played some 1B and OF this year to help give himself more options for playing in the big leagues. He had a slow start this season, but has been hitting a lot better as of late. There's a great chance we'll see him in the Bronx this September, if not sooner.
His signature is really nice. It bubbled a little which stinks, but overall it still looks nice on this card.

Glad you got it signed!
ReplyDeleteNice success. I got Laird to sign a photo for me back during spring training - even though I'm not a Yankee fan, I try to get autographs from the guys I see play in Trenton.
