I decided to look on COMC about adding another one to my collection. I was blown away by the number of his signatures you can get in the $5 to $10 range... some of them on-card. Unfortunately... all of the Padres autos I saw were $20 or more. Maybe when he signs with his next team... those will become more affordable.Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7911511049033479555.post-82082397314159891902024-03-11T18:14:25.308-04:002024-03-11T18:14:25.308-04:00Let's hope.
