Here is another 2005 Upper Deck SPx autographed card in my collection. As I had previously mentioned, I love this design. On top of that, the Dodgers autograph checklist (there are 9 total) features several promising young Dodgers. All of whom either starred for other teams or sputtered out. That being said, several current Dodger stars were a little too young to be included. Which is too bad. They would have looked great on these cards. Sometimes, when I'm bored at night thinking about it, I imagine what it might look like to have either Matt Kemp or Clayton Kershaw emblazoned on front. Oh well, maybe a a future heritage version might be in the works when (or if) Upper Deck gets back its Baseball license.
This card is of former Dodgers reliever Steve Schmoll. In the past I've shown both the Russell Martin and Jason Werth cards. See those previous post here and here. So far I am missing just one more Dodger autograph to complete this little subset- the card of former starter DJ Houlton. Fortunately, the Houlton is far from rare.
BTW, Schmoll was the very first Logan White signing to make it to the pro's. He was signed as a free agent out of college by White before the 2003 draft, and played for the Dodgers before Broxton was called up.
