Hands down this is my favorite card I was able to get signed this Spring Training. I know there's still a few weeks left and I have plans to go to at least another game or two. This will still be my favorite card.I had a pretty rough day at the Rockies camp but getting Troy Tulowitzki to sign a card for our set more than made up for the small quantity of autographs I went home with. This is the first time I had ever gotten him so it was pretty cool.# 385 - Troy TulowitzkiProgress: 481/990
After another long span of no blog posts, we're going to do our best to finish strong. I need to catch up on some scanning but we've got plenty of great stuff to do posts on.Here's another signed 08 Topps card for our collection. This one is of Colorado Rockies outfielder, Seth Smith.# 56 - Seth SmithProgress: 465/990
Jonathan Herrera spent most of 2011 on the big league roster with the Colorado Rockies. He played in 104 games and but didn't put up that good of numbers. Maybe 2012 will be a breakout year for him.# UH 291 - Jonathan HerreraProgress: 461/990
Another good one for our set. We picked up this signed card of former Colorado Rockies infielder, Kaz Matsui recently. Per his Wikipedia page, Kaz is back playing baseball in Japan.

I've been doing pretty good this year at trying to do a blog post everyday. I missed the past three days but we're back with another signed 08 Topps card. Check back often because we've got a lot of good stuff lined up for June.We added this signed Brian Fuentes card to our set. Brian was recently released from his closing duties with the Oakland A's. When the news hit a few days ago, it sounded like Brian might not be welcome in Oakland for very long. I wonder if he'll end up getting traded soon.# 84 - Brian FuentesProgress: 418/990
Former Colorado Rockies slugger, Brad Hawpe has a new home in San Diego with the Padres. The Padres will need his bat to regain the form it had a few years ago if they are going to win the NL West. I had never gotten Brad's autograph before so he was a welcome addition to one of my favorite teams to see during Spring Training.# 458 - Brad Hawpe

A few years back Jason Hirsh was going to be the next big thing in Texas when he was with the Houston Astros organization.

I didn't end up sending off as many Spring Training TTM requests as I had originally planned. One of the players I knew I definitely wanted to send to was new Balitmore Orioles infielder, Garrett Atkins. It's a good thing I did because Garrett was a great signer this spring and his signed 08 Topps card below is a great addition for our set.# 74 - Garrett AtkinsProgress: 260/990

Another catcher back today. This time Chris Iannetta from the Colorado Rockies signed a card in black Sharpie for our set.I remember all of the preseason fantasy talk was about Chris Iannetta was the guy to pick up at catcher. As of today, Chris is hitting .231 with 10 home runs. Not horrible but no All-Star. I have a feeling 2010 will be Chris's breakout year!# UH 26 - Chris IannettaProgress: 120/990
