I have finally completed my first signed Upper Deck team set.  Josh Fields was the last guy I needed to complete the 2010 set, and I found one on eBay a few weeks ago. 

During my absence from the site, I picked up a few new multisigned cards.  I have really gotten into collecting multisigned items.  Here are the new additions.

I have finally completed the 2010 Allen & Ginter White Sox team set!  As an added bonus, the Alex Rios card is also partially signed by Sergio Santos!

Over the last few weeks, I have picked up a bunch of certified autos.  Here are some of the nicer ones.

Last week I received three autographs from Magglio Ordonez.  The autographs were obtained through the Detroit Tigers "Autographs for a Cause" program.  Magglio is one of eight current Tigers players that signs for a donation.  More information can be found here.

I just received the results of another 50/50 from my friend Kevin (justcrazy on SCN/SG).  He has helped me a ton over the years, and this latest batch is no exception.  Here are the totals:

Dylan Axelrod - 1
Joseph Bisenius - 1
Anthony Carter - 4
Tyson Corley - 2
Jordan Danks - 13
Alejandro De Aza - 2
Richard Dotson - 14
Eduardo Escobar - 5
Jimmy Gallagher - 4
Stefan Gartrell - 2
Lucas Harrell - 3
Gregory Infante - 2
Donny Lucy - 4
Jhonny Nunez - 3
Dan Remenowsky - 1
Michael Restovich - 1
Adam Ricks - 4
Dayan Viciedo - 7
Matt Zaleski - 2

I just haven't had time lately to send out an TTM requests.  I used to be a TTM machine, but the last requests I sent out were in July of 2010.  I finally made myself send a few out on May 31st.  I sent to Mark Buehrle, Jon Garland, Octavio Dotel, and Magglio Ordonez.  All cards sent were for my UD project.  This week I got two of them back!

Mark Buehrle - 1/1
Jon Garland - 1/1

When I began my various projects, I knew some players would be very tough.  In some cases, those tough players had MANY cards in the different sets I was attempting to complete.  One of those players is Scott Podsednik.

If you've ever tried graphing Scotty Pods in person, you know what I'm talking about.  He isn't the nicest guy.  Of course, he has 4 different Upper Deck cards in a Sox uniform, not to mention Allen & Ginter cards.  I also needed him for my rookie card project.  So I fully expected most, if not all of these cards to remain unsigned for quite a while.

Well, when Scott signed a minor league deal with the Phillies, I immediately contacted every grapher I know in Lehigh Valley, where their AAA team plays.  I was able to strike consigment deals with three of them, for a total of 10 cards.  I sent 2 of each Upper Deck card I needed, as well as an 06 A&G and a 01 Donruss Class of 2001 rookie card.  I doubled up on the UD cards as I was fairly certain each guy would be lucky to get one card done, and wanted to increase my chances of getting the UD stuff completed.

Well, lo and behold!  Nine of the cards have been sent back signed.  Not only are all of the UD cards done... I now have doubles of 3 of the 4!

Here are the six different Podsedniks in all of their glory!

I recently picked up 3 nice on-card certified autographs.  One absolutely gorgeous Gordon Beckham, and a couple of nice Magglio Ordonez autos.

Today I received the results of a 50/50 with Derek (aka scoreset on SG).  He has come through for me time and time again... and this batch was no exception.  Over 90% of the cards I sent were returned signed.  You can't beat that!  As always, thanks Derek!
