Two Jersey Swatches for the Price of One

I picked up this nifty dual game-used jersey card on eBay for less than a buck.  The card features Chad Billingsley and Bronson Arroyo.  I’m not sure why these two were chosen to share the same card, but they were.  The card is from 2009 UD Ballpark Collection.  It is numbered 333/400.  Finding a card with these two subjects was probably a bigger deal back in 2009.  Arroyo pitches in Arizona these days, while Billingsley is trying to recover from Tommy John surgery. 

TTM Mailbag: Chad Billingsley

My latest TTM Autograph return comes from Chad Billingsley of the Los Angeles Dodgers. He signed my 2008 Goudey card in blue Sharpie in only 14 days. Goudey cards don’t have gloss so it’s the perfect card to get autographed. The ink didn’t smudge. The signature looks great. Billingsley is having a decent year so far. He was actually an All-Star last year. I am thrilled to have this card back with a beautiful signature on it.
