Who is this? Cleveland Indians starting Pitcher Justin Masterson.
What is this? An autograph card from 2009 Topps Allen & Ginter.
Where'd I get it? I got this card signed through the mail by Justin in August of 2009, right after he was traded from the Red Sox to the Indians.
How much did it cost? I paid 50 cents for the card, plus postage.
Why is this so special? This is the first card that I ever got signed through the mail and kicked-off my Justin Masterson super-collection. Justin is/was (I havn't sent him anything since Sping Training and he has had a monster year in 2011) a great signer through the mail and seems like a very decent and down-to-earth king of person.
The A&G cards look fantastic signed and this autograph helped start my hobby of getting cards signed through the mail.
Interesting. Yesterday my family visited my cousin's family and her new husband.
ReplyDeleteWe got to talking baseball and he mentioned he had a younger cousin in MLB: Justin Masterson.
I think the entire family is salt of the Earth. Good people.
