Brent Rooker was a touted rookie with the Twins as he come up the system. He is currently playing with the Oakland A’s and doing quite well. AutographDen on eBay had a 2022 Gypsy Queen card for sale so I bought it. AutographDen is also on SCN (ColeL33) and is someone I trust buying cards from for my Twins sets.

Holy Smoke! Prospects Abound!
If you have followed this silly blog, you would know that I have a guy named Chris L (ChrisL999 on SCN) who gets me a ton of prospects on baseballs. I typically send him a dozen baseballs and let him decide who he is going to see and trust his judgement that the player is “ball worthy”. He does an amazing job for me and gets me a lot of the Top 100 Prospects. Today I received a box with the following baseballs signed on the sweetspot in beautiful blue ink:
Stone Garrett
Brock Porter
Jake Irvin
Robert Hassell
Parker Messick
Lane Thomas
Wilmer Flores (Tigers Pitcher Prospect and brother of the other Wilmer Flores)
Samuel Basallo
Colt Keith
Frank Mozzicato
Chris has already put a dent into the next dozen of baseballs I just sent him! Thanks Chris!
Gammons!
Doug K (4192Hits on SCN) runs Cardboard Promotions in the New England area. You may recognize his name from my pile of Joe Mauer signed items I received from him a while back. Doug treats customers’ items as if they were his own. I never had an issue with anything I ever sent in to one of his signings. He recently had Peter Gammons as an autograph guest. He sold so many tickets that he had to have Gammons come back a week later to finish everything up. I had sent in a baseball to have Gammons sign it with “HOF 05” and, like everything else previously, was received in perfect condition!
Makin’ Shoes
Ryan S (Rls2239 on SCN) recently had a private signing with Matt Shoemaker. Matt played one less than stellar season with the Twins and was released and never signed with another team. I was excited to see this signing and sent in my 2021 Topps Update #US239 card and received it back today signed beautifully!
