Today I received a card signed by Kirby Puckett that I needed to complete my 1992 Topps Twins team set. Nick V (sox1 on SCN) got this card signed during one of the Twins many visits to Chicago back when Puckett was playing. It was signed in blue Sharpie on the 1992 Topps #575 card. I am excited to be able to complete off the 1992 Twins team set! Thanks Nick!

Maikel’s Navy
Today I received a package from Todd S (toddschafer on SCN) who had a private signing with Maikel Franco. He got Maikel to sign his debut ticket with “ML Debut”. It turned out awesome!
Upgrading Away
Today I received a package from Chris P (medic-34 on SCN). Chris is working on getting all the Topps cards with the Rookie Cup logo on them signed and I happened to have a few of them he needed. Our trade worked out that I received the following cards that I upgraded:
65T Gerry Arrigo card well centered with inscription
70T George Mitterwald nice blue sharpie
79T Glenn Adams in blue sharpie
82T Fernando Arroyo in blue sharpie
00T Chad Allen, little darker blue sharpie
He also sent me some 2000 Greats of the Game that were upgrades to mine that I sent him back the ones I had. Those are: Ben Oglivie, Mel Stottlemyre, and Dave Righetti.
This was a fun trade where I was able to upgrade some cards. Thanks Chris!
Eye On Ian
Today I met up with Nick K who went to the hotel where the Rangers were staying and got a pair of baseballs signed by Ian Desmond and Chi Chi Gonzalez. Both turned out beautifully. The Desmond was one of the best autographs I have seen him provide. I am real pleased with these baseballs. Thanks Nick!
