Matt Kemp and a couple of MLB Debuts

I am a member of some Facebook autograph groups and often times on these groups you will see people listing items they have for sale.  There aren't many ways to go about getting good deals on signed sports memorabilia, especially as the market currently stands (hello Stimulus checks and people making more on unemployment than employment).  The market for both signed stuff and sports cards in general is on the rise.  However, there are always people in the hobby looking to move inventory for a myriad of reasons and it is here that the discerning eye can find some deals on stuff.  I purchased a Matt Kemp ball from one such autograph guy because the Matt Kemp ball I had signed in person was on the side panel of the baseball.  To compound that, the signature itself started to bleed.  

I also picked up a couple of basbealls inscribed with player MLB debuts.  I picked both up for about the price of a non signed MLB baseball, so I figured why the hell not?  Joe Musgrove is the first ball and Carson Kelly the second.  In the case of Kelly, he was a top catching prospect for quite a long time so if he ends up being a decent player this might be a shrewd pickup.  If not, I have a cool inscription for the price of a blank baseball. 

Thank you for sticking with me and reading about some names that are not nearly at the level of the Mantles, Williams, Aarons, and Trouts.
