Default Blaze Alexander makes it to the show :)
Something I have been waiting for over 5 years to happen.In honor of him making it let’s see what other people might have.I hope I’m not the only one that started to PC him.Keep in mind my collection was bought early 2018-2022.He sure put on some numbers this Spring Training.Unfortunately he’s going to be used as the utility.The ones with the orange background where sent to SGC.

Well it seems like Blaze with get his AB against left-handed pitchers.Joc has been struggling with left-handed pictures.Wish he can get more playing time but that’s not happening.Unless a injury comes in the mix and then he will.

2-AB & 1 SO last night

I dont remember what show it was because I was going back and forth between them, I think it was MLB Tonight but one of the hosts was related to Blaze Alexander (nephew or cousin) and they pretty much echoed the sentiment that if he can stay hitting, they will find him at bats!

Edit: it was MLB Tonight because it was in the same segment where I learned Harold Reynolds is related to Bryan Reynolds of the Pirates -- didnt know that either.

Joc is in his way for DH and he’s putting up some numbers.I sure hope he gets more bats I just don’t know how

Well I just added 2 more pieces to my collection & I wanted to get them ASP.Blaze will be the SS starter for the next 6-8 weeks.I guess we will see how he fits in with the D-Backs.

What a night and I can see he’s finally settling down with his defense.Blaze hits a Homerun for grand slam his first one.

Offering a bounty if someone can help me get these sign. My best guess is an appearance that takes me in orders.Willing to give PP and one of my ungraded cards.

Thanks

Patience is key here. He will make a public or private appearance, you can get it there. Maybe join AZ fan pages since they will most likely know of these events for the DBacks

It's been a long time since I've posted about my Blaze Collection. It's nice to finally see him show what he can do. I know that not many people were buying Blaze, but I held my ground. He certainly deserves a shout-out for how he's playing.

Well, I decided to make another big purchase. It's been a long time. This will be my sixth 1/1 of Blaze in my collection. It's also my first time dealing with eBay authentication. I decided to take the PSA option as well, hopefully this turns out all right. Some people don't see the point of grading 1/1, but all 6 will be incased.I won't lie, I'm nervous as hell about this one. The approximate ship date to me is around October 20, 2025. I kind of don't believe it will only take 7 weeks for ETA. The seller had a poor listing and only had a feedback rating of 2. If I had to guess, the price was a little high, but I can't complain.
