Double Your Pleasure!

Today I received a couple items I sent out a little bit ago. First was a card signed by Carlos Gomez. Carlos did a private signing at Waukesha Sportscards on July 14th and Mark G (hofcs on SCN) worked out a bulk discount deal and I was able to get the remaining card I needed for my collection signed by Carlos. It was a 2009 Topps Heritage card.

I also received a baseball I sent to Ken Aspromonte back on 7/2/2012. Ken was the manager for one of the teams involved in the 10 Cent Beer Night promotion. After I got a cool Story Ball response from Joe Tait on the event, I thought it would be neat to get a manager’s viewpoint. Today I got it back! He even returned my donation and my pen.

The Zack Attack!

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.
