jason, what happened to your team? i'm disappointed that wash has not put up more of a fight than this...seems like they've accepted being mediocre this year, what happened to the #natitude?

as for me lots of signed cards but i've only scanned these. being a dodgers fan super excited for the '91 ud pedro.

Cool...the Pedro and Thomas look spot-on...

i try to be very careful who i buy from, or asking for opinions from more knowledgeable folks...and even then i'd make sure the seller gives me a guarantee (i'm probably a pain to sell/deal with

)

have a little time so another scan of cards i haven't got to...more rookies, rated rookies, and topps all-rookies.

From what I've seen, all of your you've purchased that aren't slabbed etc., are all very good. Good researching

Good question! It's been a disappointing season for sure. We've endured several key injuries, haven't given our pitchers the necessary run support, our mid-inning relief has been terrible and our bullpen's lack of lefties hasn't helped. Could also be pressure from too much anticipation, especially since it's a pretty young team. I've been pleased with our 3 key pitchers and on some days our bats come alive. But nothing seems to be in sync this year. It started well w/ Harper hitting .435, then he got hurt, started running into walls, and it all fell apart from there. It's unfortunate because there's a ton of talent on the team.
