Today I received a 1993 Topps Kirby Puckett All Star card that was certified by PSA/DNA. I picked it up off eBay from SportsNewsShows who is sponsoring a big show in a couple weeks that I hope to go to and get Cal Ripken Jr and Frank Robinson’s autographs. It was a tougher Puckett to find so I am pleased.

It’s in the Mag(azine)!
Today was fun! I received a surprise package from a friend of mine who is also working on getting me autographs in Arizona for spring training. Kent B (doggle3 on SCN) knows I collect autographed tickets and sent me three tickets signed by Eric Hosmer including two from his ML Debut! Thanks Kent!
Also, I met Aaron D who worked on some Sports Illustrated magazines for me over the past couple years. Aaron works the hotels and ballparks here in the Cities. He got me a Jeff Francoeur issue and Reed Johnson and Vernon Wells on their issue. Thanks Aaron!
He Shoots, He Scores!
Today was the Let’s Play Hockey Expo at the Xcel Energy Center. I have never been to the event before but I heard Bill Baker was there signing autographs for the Herb Brooks Foundation so I decided to attend. I asked my buddy Tony F is he and his kids wanted to go and they did so Cami and I and those three headed down. There was a ton of free stuff as well as the admission being free. You could really spend a lot of time there without spending much money. It was a great event. Since Tony is way more into hockey than I am, I let him get my two 1980 US Hockey Team Sports Illustrated magazines signed. Adding Bill made my total autograph number on each issue up to eight!
More Spring Training Stuff!
Today my man Paul C down in Ft Myers sent me four guys on baseballs I wanted for my collection. I received Joel Hanrahan, Ryan Doumit, Matt Barnes and Xander Bogaerts all signed on the sweetspot in blue ink. I could not be happier!
