I connected with Matt H (mattyice on SCN) a handful of years ago on SportsCollectors.net. Matt lives in Fort Myers and gets to a lot of Red Sox and Twins games during the spring and spends a lot of time chasing autographs for me. Today I received the package of his efforts this spring! Inside was:
Royce Lewis – 2024 Topps Heritage #577, 2025 Topps Heritage #138, 2025 Allen & Ginter #221
Brooks Lee – 08.17.2025 Topps Now #568
Ryan Jeffers – 2024 Topps Heritage #635, 2025 Topps Heritage #424, 07.28.2021 Topps Now #566, 07.23.2023 Topps Now #609
Gio Urshela – 2022 Topps Heritage #635
Michael Taylor – 2023 Topps #374
Austin Martin – 2025 Topps #595, 04.09.2024 Topps Now #53
Taylor Rogers – 2020 Topps #342, 2020 Topps Heritage #25, 2021 Topps Heritage #597
Luke Keaschall – 2025 Topps #US342, 2025 Allen & Ginter #223, 08.05.2025 Topps Now #518, 08.10.2025 Topps Now #543, 2025 Topps Now Rookie Cup #RC-3
These are all awesome additions to my collection and I really appreciate Matt’s help over the years. I hope to get to Florida for some spring training games and chase autographs with Matt in spring 2027 as long as there isn’t a lockout.

Another Spring Package!
Today’s mail brought another package of spring training signed items. Today’s package was from Wesley George. Wesley spends spring training driving around Florida obtaining autographs during spring training. The package included:
Joe Ryan- 2025 Topps Heritage #276 & 2026 Topps #54
Kody Clemens – 2026 Topps #85
Royce Lewis – 2026 Topps #115
Trevor Larnach – 2026 Topps #68
Ryan Jeffers – 2026 Topps #315
Byron Buxton – 2026 Topps #255
I’m excited to knock these off my list!
The Buck Stops Here!
Today’s mail brought my first two packages from spring training. And in it was a couple Byron Buxton signed cards as well as a Chris Paddack.
Robbie L (robbielee on SCN) got Buck to sign his 2025 Topps Heritage #282 and Chris Paddack to sign his 2025 Topps #US73.
Jim Lowery posted some cards he got signed in a Facebook collecting group and I was able to acquire Buxton’s 2024 Allen & Ginter #98 card.
All three cards are great and I look forward to additional spring training mail coming in soon!
Billy The Kid
A few years ago I sent a ticket in to a signing and the signing didn’t go well. The paint pen exploded and ruined the ticket. The promotor, Jack B, worked out a deal with me so I sent him back the ticket. He would send me a pair of Hall of Fame postcards to make up for it. Today I received a Billy Wagner postcard. I will be getting another one in the future. I only had a baseball signed by Billy so it is cool to add this postcard to the collection!
