July Pickups
I got this amazing Bob Ojeda Red Sox Payroll check in the mail today. Traded a fellow member a very nice picture of Andrew Jackson even up for it.
I traded for this check sight unseen with no information other than it was a Bob Ojeda PR check. I get the check today and to my amazement it is dated July 31 1980 and Bob Ojeda pitched his first game for the Red Sox on July 13th making this one of the first checks he received as a Major League player. This is the first Payroll check I have ever owned and am very happy to add it to my collection. |

That's cool. Interesting to see the amount. I wonder if that was a weekly amount or just an incentive payout, etc.

Awesome pick up Ben!
This is not my pick up, but my 7 yr old son's. We were on a Jeter (my son's favorite player) farewell tour game in Baltimore yesterday and my son (on his own) managed to get Jeter to sign this card. Jeter signed for just a handful after BP with my son and a few other kids his age managing to have Jeter sign either cards or balls for them. It was very refreshing to see Jeter sign for mainly kids and not the profiteering adults who crowded around the dugout also. My son now has something in his growing collection I do not, a signed Jeter card |

Thank you Ben and Scott.....he is still stoked about his newest card. I can't believe as much as he talked before the trip about wanting to have Jeter sign for him he will ever forget (or understand how much of a challenge it was) receiving this.
