I recently did a consignment with Neal T (TuckerKCRoyals on SCN) to get a couple baseballs signed by top prospects at the All Star Futures game. Neal came through with Zack Wheeler for me. Zack is the #22 overall MLB prospect and is in the Mets organization. Not only did Neal get it signed the way I wanted but he also got it signed using the ink pen I sent and provided an awesome summary on where and when he got it.

Twins #1 Prospect Miguel Sano
Today I received my end of a 50/50 with Nick C (brewcrewownyou on SCN) which was a blue ink sweetspot ball signed by Miguel Sano. Nick included a ticket from the Snappers game where it was signed as well as a couple photos of him getting Miguel to sign stuff. Sano has a couple different versions of his autograph and both of which you cannot tell what it says. I am excited to add this player to my collection as he is projected to be a top player and is one of the top prospects in baseball.
Robert Pershing Doerr
Today I received a special issue Sports Illustrated that celebrated Fenway Park’s 100 years. SI issued two versions; one with an old black and white photo from 1965 and a newer colored photo. I sent the black and white one to Bobby Doerr a month or so ago along with $5 and got it back with the autograph all bubbled due to the glossy cover. I had even included a Staedtler to use. I removed the autograph and resent it with a note to please use the marker provided and another $5. It looks much better this time around. He included his HOF 86 on it as well.
Hummel & Carew
I am sure back in the day Rick Hummel wrote about Rod Carew at some point. Today they were reunited once again.
I received another addition to my baseball collection from Rick Hummel. He signed the baseball on the sweetspot and included the requested inscription “2006 HOF- J. G. Taylor Spink Award”. Nice ball to add to the collection!
I also received a card I needed for my Topps Twins collection. I bought the 1974 Topps All Star card signed by Rod Carew. Another card down!
