2015 Panini Americana Vanilla Ice Auto

Word to your mother! I picked up this Vanilla Ice certified auto from the 2015 Panini Americana set. I've actually met Rob twice. Both times were after a show about fifteen years ago. It's been fun to see him gain popularity again through his reality shows. I was pretty stoked when I found out he had a card in this set.

Daniel Hudson Collection - 2012 Topps Heritage Black Border Parallel

I haven't bought much on eBay recently but I'll still occasionally look to see what is available. Last week I saw this Daniel Hudson 2012 Topps Heritage black border parallel card for $1 shipped. I didn't have it so I quickly pulled the trigger.

George Brett Signed 8x10 Photo

"Robbie All My Best George Brett"

A nice statement by Hall of Fame third baseman, George Brett. I don't know who Robbie is but I bet he was pretty stoked when he met George. At some point this 8x10 made it into our collection via online auction.

Luis Aparicio Collection - Autographed 8x10 # 3

I was going through some of my dad's autographs three nights ago and came across this signed photo of Chicago White Sox Hall of Famer Luis Aparicio. I was surprised that the first two signed 8x10 photos for our Lil Luis collection featured him in a Red Sox uniform. This one is a pretty common shot of him on the White Sox.

Luis Aparicio Collection - Autographed 8x10 # 2

I was going through some of my dad's autographs two nights ago and came across this signed photo of Chicago White Sox Hall of Famer Luis Aparicio. Way back in May of 2011 I posted the first signed 8x10 photo for our Lil Luis collection. It took awhile but this will officially be the second.

Daniel Hudson Collection - Autographed 8x10 # 1

I was going through some of my dad's autographs last night and came across this signed photo of Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Daniel Hudson. Yep, the same Daniel Hudson that I have a player collection for. I vaguely remember getting this photo signed at the Diamondbacks Fan Fest in 2011. I was only able to date it because of the other photos it was with. This photo will now officially go down as the first signed 8x10 photo for our collection. Yes, there are more. Yes, I've done a blog post two days in a row. No, this probably isn't becoming a trend. Yes, check back tomorrow because I have another post pre-scheduled.

Ernie Banks Signed 8x10 Photo

I was going through some of my dad's autographs tonight and came across this signed photo of Chicago Cubs Hall of Famer Ernie Banks. It's beat up and creased. I have no idea who Wally is but I thought these imperfections make it that much more awesome.
