TTM autographs received: Jon Griffin

The former Arizona Diamondbacks minor leaguer signed my cards in about a month - after leaving affiliated ball, Griffin had spent the past 5 years playing in the independent leagues up through 2019.

I saw a success posted by a collector on Instagram and remembered I had some loose cards from back in the day, including at least one 2012 Topps Heritage Minor League set card - I looked up a possible address and took a chance to put together a request and send my cards off.

Featured autograph - Christian Yelich

Despite enjoying a big spring in 2013 for the Miami Marlins, Yelich probably doesn't make the big league team at this point in his professional career - but looking like a carbon copy of a young, gangly Shawn Green, the 21-year old is poised to impress in the minors this upcoming season.
