Cesar Geronimo Little Reds Bat

Well my Uncle got this bat as a SGA as a kid, used it, I used it and it survived all the abuse. Its pretty beaten but still in ok shape. My Little Reds Geronimo 22" Louisville Slugger is now signed. I have never seen another bat like this one, I don't know how many still are around and if they made them for all players but that's why I got this signed because of the rarity. It's also the first bat I've ever gotten signed.

Toby Alderweireld of Ajax

I am a big fan of Dutch football, I have seen Ajax in person and saw the Netherlands vs Spain in the 2010 World Cup Final from my cosuins house in the Netherlands. I received this Toby Alderweireld postcard from Ajax, it also had a team photo and a team celebration photo from their league championship win 2 years ago.

Phil Pfister and Greg Gumbel 2012 Allen and Ginter's

Allen and Ginters includes cards in their packs that aren't always star athletes, you could get a building or bridge or golfers announcers and other not so known stars. In 2012 I pulled a Greg Gumbel (a CBS announcer) and Phil Pfister (2006 World's Strongest Man). I was able to get both signed through the mail, and Phil Pfister included 2 double sided 5x7s (1 is signed).
