i'll take obscure autographs for dodgers, alex

p-town tom recently sent me some cards for a couple of reasons. i sent him some cubs and a 2013 team usa shawn green card, and i helped him identify a mystery autograph related to the recent collection that he was gifted.

tom asked for help and offered cards as a reward. i was fortunate to see the post fairly quickly after it was published, and soon thereafter submitted my guess of kevin koslofski.  looking at the auto, i assumed it was a 'kevin k'.  i first looked at signatures of kevin kennedy and kevin kouzmanoff.  koslofski was the third guy i looked at, and it turned out to be correct.

a week or so later, tom sent me a 1992 fleer card signed by the man himself

it was fortuitous for me that tom had not stumbled across this card before he asked for help in identifying the signature on the ball!

tom also included some dodgers that i needed, many from 1999 fleer tradition.  here's an adrian beltre card that was a need

it's hard to believe that the dodgers could have had the longest tenured third baseman in their history if he hadn't had such a monster year in 2004 - his free agent season.  i like justin turner, but beltre has been a great player for 20 years now.

thanks tom! let me know if you find any more mysterious autos!
