I know our posts have been sporadic lately but we're back with some more autographed 2008 Topps cards.

We recently added this signed card of 2004 NL All-Star, Johnny Estrada to our set.

# UH 218 - Salomon Torres

Former Milwaukee Brewers reliever, Salomon Torres signed a card for our set from a recent TTM request. Along with our card, Salomon included some literature about Jehovah's Witnesses. If you'd like to learn more about who they are and what they believe please visit WatchTower.org.

# 3 - Jeff Suppan

After not getting Jeff Suppan's autograph in person during Spring Training, we sent off his 08 Topps cards as a TTM request. Thought this one might have gotten lost when he was dropped by the Brewers. Fortunately for us, Jeff must have brought our letter with him to St. Louis. Thanks, Jeff!

# 588 - Tony Gwynn Jr.

The son of Mr. Padre seems to have found his own place in San Diego. Tony Gwynn, Jr. was traded to the orgainzation that his father spent his entire career with on May 21, 2009. Entering 2010, Tony Jr will be expected to hold down centerfield as an everyday outfielder at Petco Park.

# UH 327 - Hernan Iribarren

Hernan Iribarren began Spring Training 2010 in Maryvale with the Milwaukee Brewers and he will be finishing it in Surprise as a member of the Texas Rangers. He was claimed off waivers by the Rangers on March 13th.

Regardless of which team he plays for, Hernan has a nice signature that shows up great on his 08 Topps card.

# 536 - Prince Fielder

Card # 536 from the 08 Topps set features two of the best power hitters in the National League: Prince Fielder & Albert Pujols.

Lucky for us, Prince is on one of our favorite Cactus League teams. Even luckier, Prince was nice enough to sign this card for us. Now we just have to figure out a way to get Pujols...

Hey hey! It's Corey Hart day!

Corey has two cards in the 08 Topps set. When we went and saw the Brewers the other day, he signed them both for us! Thanks, Corey!

# 450 - Prince Fielder

When we decided to try and get some Milwaukee Brewers autographs the other day, we were hoping to be able to add Prince Fielder to our 08 Topps collection. Lucky for us, Prince was in a great mood and signed a ton of autographs that day. We were very glad to be able to get his card from Series Two of our set signed.

Prince is one of the best power hitters in the league. He is a two time All-Star and you may remember he even won the Home Run Derby last year.

Thanks, Prince! This is going to be one of my son's favorites!

# 371 - Rickie Weeks

It seems like Milwaukee Brewers second baseman, Rickie Weeks has been around forever. The former Golden Spikes Award Winner is still trying to live up to the potential that made him the number 2 pick in the country in 2003. I still like Rickie and hope he has a breakout year in 2010.

# 347 - Chris Capuano

It seems like we've been getting autographs from a lot of players who are coming back from injury. Milwaukee Brewers pitcher, Chris Capuano is another one. An All-Star in 2006, Chris has been rehabbing after Tommy John surgery. He is looking to make his way back to the Brewers rotation in 2010.

# 101 - Ryan Braun

We went to see the Brewers a few days ago. They had a lot of players with 08 Topps cards that we needed to get signed for our set. We didn't get them all but did very well overall.


First up is Milwaukee Brewers star outfielder, Ryan Braun. Ryan was Rookie of the Year in 2007. He has been an All-Star twice and he even led the National League in hits in 2009.

Ryan has four cards in the 08 Topps set. We decided to get started with his Rookie of the Year card from Series One. Another awesome addition to our set. This one is definitely one of our favorites thus far.

# UH 130 - Mike Cameron

Our Mike Cameron success from yesterday was even better because Mike has two cards in the 08 Topps set. Always a great guy, Mike signed his U&H card for us as well. Thanks, Mike! Good luck in Boston!

# 318 - Ned Yost

I always liked Ned Yost. He did a pretty good job managing the Milwaukee Brewers. I understand why the let him ago but he did help turn around a dismal franchise. Hopefully he'll get another chance somewhere soon.
