Today I received a couple HOF postcards in the mail that I bought from Tom Orr (orr23mj on SCN). Tom had a signing with both Craig Biggio and Randy Johnson and these were signed then. The Biggio has Tristar certification and the Johnson has JSA Witness. I do not actively buy the HOF postcards but Tom offered them at a fair price so I picked them up.

Heeeeeeeeere’s Johnny!
Today I received a Sports Illustrated magazine I bought from Chris B (GoYanks52 on SCN). It was signed by Johnny Damon. The issue features three other Red Sox so I have a new project to work on!
Kyle Schwarber!
Today I finally had a chance to meet up with Nick K. Nick and his father get autographs at hotels before and after baseball games. I have gotten a couple autographs from Nick in the past. Back when the Cubs were in town he got a pair of baseballs signed by Kyle Schwarber. Kyle is going to be a stud for the Cubs and when he offered me one, I could not pass it up. That was about six months ago. Nick lives in Woodbury and is a student at the U of M so meeting up was challenging as he lives in Dinkytown. He was home for break and it worked out to meet with him today. The baseball is beautiful and I look forward to seeing who he can get next baseball season!
Minions!
Today I did not get anything in the mail but Cami did! Well, I did receive the Bruce Springsteen’s The Ties that Bind box set but it was not signed. Cami got the coolest mail today.
About ten months or so ago, Cami mailed a couple “Artists Cards” to Chris Renaud. Chris is an animator in the Dispicable Me/Minions franchise. If you know Cami, her all time favorite characters are minions. Her nickname for student council is even Minion! Chris graciously drew two minions and signed her cards. When she opened them she just stared at them. She was so excited. Chris really made her day and me envious! I tried to offer something to Cami in trade for one of them but she was having NONE of that!
