2017 Topps Series 2 First Pitch Alex Curry #FP-36

I think saw a signed version [from an organized, paid signing] of this card posted in thread that was eventually nuked on Blowout forums last month- I didn't realize a card of the Angels sideline reporter existed and after browsing around on eBay for a little bit, I snagged a couple of copies for a dollar each.

I guess like most applicable Angels fans, I think she’s eye-candy and while things change where she moves onto other things - Miss Curry's cards have found their way into my Angels PC somewhere.

TTM autographs received: Burke Waldron

The 93-year old WWII veteran who threw out the first pitch before a Seattle Mariners game in 2016 signed my two cards in blue ink [one personalized] in about a couple of weeks - Waldron also sent a two-page note and sent a small info card for the Latter-day Saints, with the inscription 'And I'm a 'Mormon' written.

Maybe it's the least that can be done for someone who served his country and who has lived as long as he has - but it's nice for Waldron to get his 15-minutes of fame and be immortalized on a baseball card insert of his own.

I made it a point to send to an autograph request to Waldron with two First Pitch insert I found - after it became a thing where TTM collectors reported successes from him.
