Featured autograph - Buster Posey

In another 'mess up,' I might have lost another binder of cards, including this signed card of San Francisco Giants star Buster Posey when the Chicago White Sox played the Angels - fortunately I was able to recover my 'book' the next day at the ballpark when I checked with guest relations and the woman I spoke with checked a lost and found log.

I must have gotten the card signed in spring training in 2009 - besides a 2008 Bowman Chrome certified autograph I paid way too much for, I've never gotten the other guy on the Posey signed card.

I probably should leave the card 'as is,' as I got the guy who turned out to have a more prominent MLB career as opposed to the up-and-down disappointment - but I'd like to finish it off somehow.

Featured autograph - Mike Cisco

I got Cisco's autograph once or twice when he played in the 2009 Arizona Fall League - when I sort through my unsigned Philadelphia Phillies cards to prep for possible in-person autograph opportunites, I kind of wonder what happened to Cisco when I get him confused with Michael Schwimer and Michael Stutes.

While Schwimer and Stutes reached the major leagues with the Phillies, it looks like the Angels got the 26-year old Cisco for free - Cisco looks like he has found some success in the minors as a reliever, though one thing I've learned from listening to a prospect podcast or two is minor league relievers tend to wash out if they don't have anything close to resembling closer type stuff.

If Cisco gets to the major leagues at some point with the Angels - maybe I can add this signed card to my all-time Halo autograph collection.

Maybe Cisco turns into something useful - hopefully known more than just a guy the Angels got for nothing.
