No, not THAT Joltin’ Joe but one of my favorite Joe’s in baseball, Joe Mauer. Today I received a pair of Joe Mauer cards that my friend Paul C got signed during spring training this year. He got:
2012 Topps #535
2006 Topps All Star #UH271
I have another package of baseballs coming from Paul shortly. Thanks for all your work Paul!

Not A Bor(as)ing Package!
Today I received a baseball from Christian B (hheroes10 on SCN) who recently got back from Arizona after a week there. He was unable to get any of the items I sent to him signed but did sell me some baseballs he got signed this spring and previous springs by other players. The balls I got today are:
Clint Frazier w/”Indians #1 Pick”
Chris Sale
Jedd Gyorko
Leonys Martin
Raisel Iglesias
Scott Boras
While I am not a fan of Scott Boras’ tactics when negotiating for his clients, I do think he, much like Dr Frank Jobe and Dr James Andrews, have an amazing influence on the game.
It was a real nice box of baseballs!
Hurt Me!
Today I received a baseball signed by Frank Thomas. Leaf Authentics was running a special on them and could not pass it up. I got one from them a couple weeks ago that had the “Big Hurt” inscription. This one today has “HOF 2014”. Not bad at all!
Spring Has Sprung!
Today I received another box of items from Spring Training. This time is was from Arizona and it was filled with items that Kent B (doggle3 on SCN) got for me. All are great except that Salvador Perez decided to sign on part of the post it note so I will have to get that one done again. This was the first package of items Kent got for me in Arizona. He is down there until the end of Spring Training so I will get another package from him before Opening Day!
In today’s box was:
2010 Allen & Ginter #145 Jim Thome
2011 Topps #614 Jim Thome
Yasiel Puig ML Debut Ticket

Kent continues to do a great job on all my baseball autograph needs. I always look forward to his pictures he posts on SCN of what he and Ethan get signed for everyone and love looking for one of my items.
Thanks for your continued efforts Kent!
