No Response From October 2024:

Mike Lieberthal

Goose Gossage Rookie

Here's a great return from Hall of Famer Goose Gossage, who signed his 1973 Topps Rookie Card.  He also answered a question that I asked him in a separate note.  Thanks, Goose!

John William Valentin

John Valentin signed two copies of his first Bowman card.  Oddly enough, this card was issued several years after his rookie cards.  Thanks, John!

Mike Mussina Gold

For the second straight post, we have a Yankees Hall of Fame return on a gold parallel card for $10.  This time, it's Mike Mussina with the "HOF 19" inscription.  His signature looks great on this awesome-looking 2001 Topps Gold card.  Moose's first year with the Yankees was 2001.  Thanks again, Moose!

Here's a nice return from Jorge Soler, who has two World Series rings and 203 regular season Home Runs through his first twelve MLB seasons.  A one-time All-Star, he's won the World Series with the Cubs and Braves, also winning the World Series MVP Award when he helped Atlanta secure the Championship.  So far, he's played for six different teams.  Thanks, Jorge!
