# 648 - Ryan Freel

I was able to work out a trade with a blog reader to add this signed card of Ryan Freel to our 08 Topps set. Nice card with a nice BIG signature.

# 86-KH - Keith Hernandez - Team Gift Set

In yesterday's post I mentioned how I wanted to pick up a few more of the 1986 Mets autographs that were inserted into the 2008 Topps 55 card team gift sets. Well I've got one more to show you and it's a good one... Keith Hernandez!

# 86-DG - Dwight Gooden - Team Gift Set

Hands down this is the coolest certified autograph in our 2008 Topps collection. This signed card of Dwight Gooden came from the Mets 55 card team gift set. Topps inserted one autograph of a player from the 1986 Mets into each of the team sets. The team sets alone are pretty hard to find. I was glad to be able to pick up one of the better autographs.

This is just a great card. The orange border really stands out. The sticker is well placed. Hopefully I can pick up a few more of these at a good price.

# 221 - J.R. Towles - Chrome Refractor

I've been wanting to add a J.R. Towles certified Chrome auto to our collection for awhile now. While I still haven't picked up his regular auto, this Refractor is even better.

# R-ED - Early Doucet - Relic Card

The NFL season is less than a month away. Seems like a good time to do our first ever post on a 2008 Topps football card.

We picked up this jersey card of Arizona Cardinals wide receiver, Early Doucet. If the Cards don't sign a free agent WR, Early will probably be their number two guy this year.
