Awhile back Justin from Justin's World sent us this signed Freddie Bynum 2008 Topps card for our set.
I remember when Freddie was coming up in the A's organization about ten years ago. According to his Wikipedia page, he's still defending the faith in the Atlantic League.
Thanks, Justin!

I was hoping to get Melvin Mora's autograph at the Diamondbacks Fan Fest and I did. He signed his card for our 08 Topps set. He was a two-time All-Star during his time with the Baltimore Orioles.# 613 - Melvin MoraProgress: 383/990
Former Baltimore Orioles pitcher, Steve Trachsel signed a card for our set. I remember Steve's career best from the time he spent with the Chicago Cubs. He was a key component to the 1998 team that won the NL Wild Card.# UH 152 - Steve TrachselProgress: 353/990
Former first round draft pick and current Baltimore Orioles ace, Jeremy Guthrie signed a card for our set. He even personalized it to my son. Awesome!# 311 - Jeremy GuthrieProgress: 337/990
Raiderdan from SweetSpotGraphs.com hooked us up with six more signed 08 Topps cards.The next card he sent is of former Baltimore Orioles outfielder Jay Gibbons. Jay was practically out of baseball after the 2007 season but has made it back to the big leagues by playing for the Los Angeles Dodgers this year.# 506 - Jay GibbonsProgress: 334/990
Ramon Hernandez signed a card for our set. You may remember him from the 2003 All-Star game where he was selected to represent the Oakland A's.Unfortunately the 2010 All-Star game selection show is on Sunday at the exact same time as the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest. Maybe I'll Tivo it.# 312 - Ramon HernandezProgress: 299/990

Here goes another card that Dan from SweetSpotGraphs.com helped us get signed. Former Diamondbacks infielder, Alex Cintron is currently with the Mets AAA team.# UH 283 - Alex CintronProgress: 286/990
It's kind of hard to believe that baseball card companies still have trouble putting a photo of the correct player on the front of their baseball card. In 2008, Topps mistakenly chose a photo of Brian Burres for Erik Bedard's card.When we sent a request to Brain during Spring Training we sent his regular card as well as Erik's. He graciously signed the card featuring his photo and an incorrect name. I've actually seen Erik Bedard sign this card too so we'll have to work on getting him to sign it as well.Despite the error, this is another great addition to our set.# 51 - Erik BedardProgress: 275/900
Got back another Spring Training request. Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher, Brian Burres signed his card from Series 2 of the 08 Topps set.# 608 - Brian BurresProgress: 274/990
Radhames Liz was acquired by the San Diego Padres from the Baltimore Orioles around the end of November. This was good news for us since he has an 08 Topps card.# 78 - Radhames LizProgress: 246/990
I don't know a whole lot about Seattle Mariners reliever, Garrett Olson. He seems like a really nice guy and as a left handed reliever he will be one of the keys to the Mariners bullpen this year.# 548 - Garrett OlsonProgress: 212/990
A friend on SportsGraphing.com was able to get former Orioles pitcher Randor Bierd to sign an 08 Topps card for our set at the Pawtucket Red Sox recent Hot Stove event.Randor, who is now with the Red Sox organizaion, was there signing autographs along with other Sox prospects including Casey Kelly, Ryan Kalish, and Junichi Tazawa.# 446 - Randor BierdProgress: 201/990
Back in October & November, my son and I went to a few Arizona Fall League games. Former Baltimore Orioles pitcher, Adam Loewen is now with the Toronto Blue Jays organization and is trying to make his way back to the big leagues as a position player in. Adam grasciously signed his card from the 08 Topps set for us before a Phoenix Desert Dogs game.# 151 - Adam LoewenProgress: 182/990
Orioles relief pitcher, George Sherrill signed another card for the set. George had previsously signed his All-Star card. It's great to get his regular card back too!# UH 70 - George SherrillProgress: 66/990
More mail again today. Orioles relief pitcher, Chris Ray signed the card below. It was announced yesterday that George Sherrill is out as closer in Baltimore so maybe Chris will get a few more save opportunities.# 172 - Chris RayProgress: 65/990
One more 08 Topps back today. Orioles manager, Dave Trembley signed a card for the set. The Orioles haven't been very competitive in the American League East in a number of years, maybe Dave can help turn them around.# 589 - Dave TrembleyProgress: 52/990
Got one more back today. Orioles outfielder, Adam Jones nicely signed one for the set. Hopefully 2009 will be a breakout year for Adam in Baltimore.# 541 - Adam JonesProgress: 47/990
One back today from current Orioles closer and 2008 American League All-Star George Sherrill.# UH 83 - George SherrillProgress: 22/990
