Mailday – October 22

It’s been a pretty good week at the ol’ mailbox, especially given the drought I’ve gone through this month. Today, I received one more card for my collection. Here it is:

Washington National Jesus Flores signed this 2010 Allen & Ginter card for me in 75 days. Although I sent it to the Nats, it was postmarked from Florida; obviously, he’d taken his mail home after the season and sent it back from there. This marks my fifth signed card from the 2010 Ginter set, and second of a current player. (My others are the former world’s fastest man Ivory Crockett, Negro Leaguer Hank Presswood and bowling champion Kelly Kulick.)

This wraps up a pretty good mail week — three cards in total.
