TTM Success: Edwin Jackson on a No-Hitter Ticket

I saw that Edwin Jackson was signing through the mail this spring, so I sent him a ticket from his No-Hitter and he signed it for me. I sent it on 3/1/12 and got it back just 7 days later on 3/8/12.

Trade with Night Owl

Greg, a.k.a. Night Owl, and I have traded Dodgers and D-Backs back and forth multiple times. This time I had a Chrome Kershaw that he needed and he sent me a nice healthy stack of D-Backs cards. Thanks Greg! Here are my two favorites.

2002 Donruss Classics LUIS GONZALEZ - This card is going to look great signed. Gonzo is a great ttm signer, so I hope to get this autographed soon.

2011 Topps Allen & Ginter Baseball Highlight Sketches EDWIN JACKSON - I have been wanting this card for a while now and so it was awesome to see it in the stack that Night Owl sent. I bought tickets from this game on eBay hoping to get them signed - this was before Edwin was traded, but this card will go nicely with those tickets. 

Trade with Crinkly Wrappers - 2010 Topps and D-Backs

Ted from the blog Crinkly Wrappers offered up some 2010 Topps cards for trade. I sent him my needs list for Series 2 and he responded big time by knocking off 50 cards that I needed. Now I only need 12 cards to finish Series 2. In our correspondence prior to the trade he asked if I needed any cards from Series 1. I told him that I wasn't going after that set because I had only bought a few packs here and there. To my surprise, Ted included 136 out of the 330 cards from Series 1, all in order. I went through the other cards that I had already from Series 1 and now I only need 108 cards to complete Series 1. Ted also included a few Diamondbacks cards. Here are a few of my favorite D-Backs, there were just too many Topps cards to scan. Ted, you went above and beyond man. Sorry for the delayed response. I've been trying to find cards to send you in return. I wasn't expecting all the extra cards. Expect a package or two from me in the next couple of days. Thanks Ted!

eBay Pickup: no-hitter tickets

I picked up this pair of tickets from Edwin Jackson's no-hitter on eBay last week. I had been outbid on a couple others auctions, but won this pair for $1.35 + $4.90 shipping. I'm going to try to get Edwin to sign them sometime this season.

Edwin Jackson's No-Hitter

Congratulations go out to Edwin Jackson of my Arizona Diamondbacks as he pitched a no-hitter today against the Tampa Bay Rays! Jackson pitched the second no-hitter in D-Backs history, as Arizona beat Tampa Bay 1-0 on an Adam LaRoche solo home run in the second inning. Jackson gave up 8 walks and threw a career-high 149 pitches in the no-hitter.

0 hits, 9 left on base - something you don't see very often.

Jackson and teammates celebrate on the field after the no-hitter.
