# 144 - Jerry Owens

Wow. I haven't done a 2008 Topps post in awhile. I've gotten a few new things for our collection that I need to scan. Maybe I'll work on that this weekend.

In the meantime, here's a card that former Chicago White Sox outfielder, Jerry Owens, signed for us. I sent Jerry a TTM request earlier this year c/o the Lancaster Barnstormers of the Atlantic League. It came back a few short days later signed.

# 457 - Josh Fields

We had a little help with getting Josh Fields to sign his 2008 Topps card for our set. A friend on SportsGraphing.com was able to get his autograph for us at a Lehigh Valley IronPigs game.

You may remember Josh from his time at Oklahoma State University. In addition to playing baseball, he was the quarterback for the Cowboys.

# UH 205 - Octavio Dotel

Octavio Dotel signed his card from the 2008 Topps Updates & Highlights set for us. Dotel has the distinction of having played on 13 different teams during his career. That's more than any other player in the history of Major League Baseball.

This signed card of former Chicago White Sox reliever, D.J. Carrasco came to us from our friend Raiderdan on SweetSpotGraphs.com. Another nice one. Thanks, Dan!

I hadn't been to SSG in awhile and it looks like it may have been shut down. Anyone know?

# 284 - Lance Broadway

Got this one back from a 50/50. Lance Broadway was recently traded from the White Sox organization to the Mets. This former first round draft pick is currently playing for the Buffalo Bisons in AAA.

# 565 - A.J. Pierzynski

I actually got this one back a few weeks ago but somehow it ended up in the wrong pile and never got scanned. Anyway, it was great to get a signed card back from AJ Pierzynski. AJ is a fine catcher but two oddball moments stick out in my mind when I think of him. Of course the first is the called third strike during the 2005 World Series. The second is when Michael Barrett punched him the face.

# 224 - Mark Buehrle

Got another good one back. Chicago White Sox pitcher, Mark Buehrle signed a card for the set. Mark is a three time All-Star and a World Series Champion. Needless to say, I am very glad to get this one back.

# 508 - John Danks

A good way to start off May...

White Sox starting pitcher, John Danks signed the card below in a little over two weeks. John had a good season last year, winning eleven games for the American League Central Division Champions. I have a feeling John will do even better this year.
