Byron Buxton made an appearance today at the grand opening of Tria in Woodbury. Since it was so close I decided to go there with the kids. We got there around 10am which was about a half hour before he was to start signing. We were told we were somewhere in the 200 range of people lined up. The line went really slow but it was because they took photos of each person with Byron before he signed their autographs. It was quite unique how they did it and I thought it was cool. We got up to Byron around 11am and Cami went first for her photo. Caden and I then joined her and we got a photo of the four of us. Byron then signed a card for Caden and a pair of photos for Cami and I. Cami and I then left and Caden stayed back with a couple of his buddies as they were going to the Twins parking lot for pregame and then go to the game. Cami and I went home for a little bit and then headed to the Twins game. We ran in to Caden and his buddies in the Metropolitan Club and Caden said he got Jason Castro and Bartolo Colon as they entered the parking lot. Pretty fun day for all of us!

A Couple Hall of Famers
Today I received a pair of signed items and both were from Hall of Famers. The first was my HOF Postcard I sent to Bud Selig. It game back all bubbled. Pretty disappointing. I guess I did not prep it well enough.
The second package made up for it though. I had sent four cards I needed signed by Rod Carew for my Twins card sets to David G (FinFan1972 on SCN) who attended a signing he was at. The cards David got signed for me are:
2016 Topps Now 248
2016 Gypsy Queen 328
2017 Allen & Ginter 79
2017 Gypsy Queen 315
I now have all Carew Twins cards made by Topps, Gypsy Queen, Allen & Ginter, and Topps Now.
What a (Post)Card!
Today I received a couple packages of signed goodies. The first was a package from Scott N (2hotty on SCN). Scott was selling a lot of signed postcards for a decent price so I jumped on it. The postcards are:
2 @ Harmon Killebrew Twins Team Postcards
2 @ Lou Boudreau HOF Postcards
Robin Roberts HOF Postcard
AB Chandler HOF Postcard
Earl Averill JD McCarthy Postcard
The other package was from Chad L (TheChad on SCN) who got a pair of Johan Pino ML Debut tickets signed for me. Johan signed both with ML Debut. Thanks Chad!
This is Just Gruby
Today I received my 10.16.1989 Sports Illustrated that was already signed by Rickey Henderson from Craig N (craigbnyman on SCN). Craig had a signing with Kelly Gruber and since he graced the cover along with Rickey, I sent it to his signing. It came back signed beautifully today! Thanks Craig!
