# 401 - Scott Hairston - Gold Border Parallel

Our Black Friday post reminded me that I still hadn't posted the first signed 08 Topps Gold Border Parallel card for our set. Back in Spring Training, Scott Hairston signed his regular 08 Topps card and his Gold Border Parallel for us.

# 18 - Taylor Teagarden - Red Hot Rookies

You may remember this post from last December.

Back in February we were able to get Taylor Teagarden to sign his 2008 Red Hot Rookies card. Looking at these again, I'm remembering how much I like this set. I'm going to have to try to get the rest of them.

# 10 - Gio Gonzalez - Red Hot Rookies

You may remember this post from last December.

Back in February we were able to get Gio Gonzalez to sign his 2008 Red Hot Rookies card. Gio put together a pretty great 2010 season. He's always been a great guy and I'm happy to see him succeed.

# 9 - Brad Ziegler - Red Hot Rookies

You may remember this post from last December.

Back in February we were able to get Brad Ziegler to sign his 2008 Red Hot Rookies card. Brad signed a ton of autographs the day we saw him. Great guy!

# 138 - Travis Buck - Chrome Refractor

It may be October but I'm bringing back a little bit of February by catching up on a few cards I got signed during Spring Training but didn't post right away.

We already had Travis Buck sign his regular 08 Topps card so this pas Spring we had him sign his Refractor from the Chrome set.

# 49 - Rick Honeycutt - Team Gift Set

Back in December, I picked up a few of the 55 card team sets that Topps released in 2008. The Los Angeles Dodgers set included a card of former Dodger pitcher, Rick Honeycutt

Over his 21 year career, Rick Honeycutt was a 2x All-Star and a 2x World Series Champion. He has been the pitching coach for the Dodgers since 2006.

# 41 - Rick Petersen - Team Gift Set

Back in December, I picked up a few of the 55 card team sets that Topps released in 2008. The best part of these team sets is that they had some unique cards thrown in. Cards of pitching coaches or hitting coaches aren't very common outside of a minor league team set.

Thanks to the New York Mets team set, I was able to get my first Rick Petersen card signed during Spring Training. Rick has been the pitching coach for the Oakland A's, New York Mets, and is currently with the Milwaukee Brewers.

# 426 - Franklin Gutierrez

Well... here it is... our final post for Spring Training 2010. We were able to add fifty signed 08 Topps cards for our set. That doesn't include the six Opening Day cards we got signed or any of the Refractors, Chromes, or Team Set cards that I have yet to post about. Those will come later but today is all about Franklin Gutierrez.

# 303 - Jose Lopez

In previous years, we've never really spent too much time trying to get Seattle Mariners autographs during Spring Training. This year we did end up over there more times than expected. They have a pretty good team this year and most were great signers.

I think it's important to mention that out of all of the times I've been at the Mariners practice fields, I've never actually seen Jose Lopez. I actually had some help getting this card signed. My dad was over in Peoria one day in March and got this card signed for our set. Actually he helped us out with all of the Mariners cards that I'm posting about this week. Thanks, Dad!

Outfielder Ryan Langerhans has played on four organizations since his Major League debut in 2002. He is currently with the Seattle Mariners after stops in Atlanta, Oakland, and Washington.

This is another card we were able to get signed during Spring Training in March.

# UH 239 - Milton Bradley

This will be the last week of Spring Training 2010 posts. I do still have a few cards to post about that aren't from the 08 Topps base set but those will come later.

First up this week is Seattle Mariners outfielder, Milton Bradley. Milton made his only All-Star team in 2008 while with the Texas Rangers. He signed his 08 Topps All-Star card for us over in Peoria last month.

# UH 75 - Matt Treanor

The 2010 baseball season is well underway but we still have a handful of Spring Training autographs to catch up on.

Matt Treanor began Spring Training with the Milwaukee Brewers but by the end of March he was over in the Texas Rangers camp. That's where we caught up with him and had him sign his 08 Topps card.

# 531 - Hiroki Kuroda

The 2010 baseball season is well underway but we still have a handful of Spring Training autographs to catch up on.

We didn't end up with quite as many Los Angeles Dodgers autographs as we would have liked but the few we got were pretty good. The first to make an appearance on our blog is Dodgers pitcher, Hiroki Kuroda.

# 106 - Josh Bard

The 2010 baseball season is well underway but we still have a handful of Spring Training autographs to catch up on.

Josh Bard was a pretty tough autograph during his time with the San Diego Padres. This year he was back in Peoria but on the Seattle Mariners side. I'm not sure how much he signed overall but we were able to get his 08 Topps card signed. Maybe we were just there on the right day.

The 2010 baseball season is well underway but we still have a handful of Spring Training autographs to catch up on.

My last day of trying to get autographs this spring turned out to be a good day with the Texas Rangers. I was able to get several players that I had missed earlier. One of which was of new Rangers outfielder, Endy Chavez.

# 107 - Rich Harden - Opening Day

Our celebration of the new baseball season continues today with another signed 08 Topps Opening Day card.

The sixth and final Opening Day card we got autographed during Spring Training 2010 is of Rich Harden. Rich put up some good numbers during his first start for Texas. Unfortunately he threw alot of pitches and was taken out of the game before he could get the third out of the fourth inning.
