Jay Johnson 1/1 c/o Reading Phillies. Signed 8 x 10 action shot from the 2011 IBAF World Cup. Inscribed #17 (his Reading uni number) with his sig; for Canada he wore #20; part of that number is visible in the pic. Black Sharpie.

Paul Noce - 2/2 via home address in 13 days. (SCAN1) (SCAN2)

Reynaldo Rodriguez - 2/4 - 8 days (Portland Sea Dogs)
Edgar Duran - 4/4 - 8 days (Clearwater Threshers)

Is it just me, or do the Duran autographs look different? The E's look different and the number 13 is written differently. It's like he signed 2 with his left hand and two with his right.

2 successes:
Vern Benson-1/1 c/o Home in 7 days, 53 Topps Archives in black sharpie.
Bobby Morgan-1/1 c/o Home in 8 days, 53 Topps Archives in thin blue sharpie.

1 failure:
Turk Lown-Sent back a very nice note requesting a $20 donation to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, great cause, but $20 is a little steep, at least for me.

Not really a success...

Alex Avila, 0/2 in about 2 months, cards came back unsigned. Rec'd a form letter asking $20 per signature which goes to Tigers charities. Good cause, but I'll have to pass for now.

[metrotheme]

Muno just earned himself a 50 game suspension for substance abuse violations.

Seth Maness - 1/1 - 10 days (Palm Beach Cardinals)
Danny Muno - 1/1 - 10 days (St. Lucie Mets)
Manny Acta - 2/2 - 22 days (Cleveland Indians)
