PWE Left at the Doerr

A PWE arrived yesterday from jasongerman9 of Jason's Sports Cards Blog fame. Here's what was inside.

Donruss '86 Originals of Pedro Martinez and Manny Ramirez!
Topps Update Gold of Jarrod Saltalamacchia (notice he goes with the traditional spelling of his last name)

Topps Opening Day of Andrew Benintendi
Topps All-Star Game of Xander Bogaerts
UD Masterpiece of Bobby Doerr. This one truly is special as it is a TTM autograph. I mentioned briefly in a recent post that my TTM attempt to Mr. Doerr was a failure. About a year ago I sent him a card to sign along with a nice note. A couple weeks later the card was returned in the SASE with no signature and no explanation. I'm sure there was a logical reason behind this, as I've seen online that he's a very generous signer. I guess I'll never know. That was my first try at TTM, and the experience kept me from trying again.  Jason, this one beats them all! Thank you very much!

  1. Glad it arrived safely! I had already dropped this in the mail by the time you made that post mentioning your failure with Doerr, so it seemed to work out perfectly!

  2. Nice PWE! The Doerr Masterpiece is a great card, congrats on getting that auto - even if it wasnt directly from Doerr. Good looking out, Jason!
