A HOF Trifecta!
Jamie B (jamieblye on SCN) was recently involved with a private signing with Roberto Alomar. Roberto was the last of three Hall of Famers I needed to sign my 2011 HOF Induction ticket. What makes this ticket cool is that it is postmarked from Cooperstown on induction weekend. It is a colorful ticket that granted media into “section 2” of the induction ceremony grounds. It is now completed with Bert Blyleven, Pat Gillick, and now Alomar all signing it and including “HOF 2011”.
Justin Time
Man, let me tell you… Fan HQ does an awesome job handling your autograph needs. I sent in three tickets to a private signing with Justin Morneau and they were returned today and they are awesome. I sent in a ticket from Justin’s last game and he included “Final Game” as well as a pair of tickets each already signed by Tony Bautista from the triple play on 05.27.2006. All are great and well done!
A Couple Twins
Today’s mail brought a couple cards that I bought from Cole L (ColeL33 on SCN). They are:
2017 Eddie Rosario (I just noticed I already had)
1998 Pat Meares
The Meares is the last card I need to complete my Twins team set for 1998. Unfortunately I did not realize it was a limited version with a Hall of Fame foil stamp on it and I do not collect that version. HOWEVER, Cole had the regular issue available and I picked up that one just now. I should have it in a week and then that team set will be done!
