Today I received a pair of signed items and both were from Hall of Famers. The first was my HOF Postcard I sent to Bud Selig. It game back all bubbled. Pretty disappointing. I guess I did not prep it well enough.
The second package made up for it though. I had sent four cards I needed signed by Rod Carew for my Twins card sets to David G (FinFan1972 on SCN) who attended a signing he was at. The cards David got signed for me are:
2016 Topps Now 248
2016 Gypsy Queen 328
2017 Allen & Ginter 79
2017 Gypsy Queen 315
I now have all Carew Twins cards made by Topps, Gypsy Queen, Allen & Ginter, and Topps Now.

What a (Post)Card!
Today I received a couple packages of signed goodies. The first was a package from Scott N (2hotty on SCN). Scott was selling a lot of signed postcards for a decent price so I jumped on it. The postcards are:
2 @ Harmon Killebrew Twins Team Postcards
2 @ Lou Boudreau HOF Postcards
Robin Roberts HOF Postcard
AB Chandler HOF Postcard
Earl Averill JD McCarthy Postcard
The other package was from Chad L (TheChad on SCN) who got a pair of Johan Pino ML Debut tickets signed for me. Johan signed both with ML Debut. Thanks Chad!
I Found the John!
Today I received my envelope I sent to John Schuerholz via the Atlanta Braves. I had sent him a Hall of Fame postcard and requested a signed business card. Both arrived signed but the postcard got beat up in the mail. I will try to obtain another one to send him soon. The Braves’ business cards are pretty fancy too!
Mr Cub
About three years ago I sent the Ernie Banks “Where Are They Now?” Sports Illustrated magazine to a private signing. Due to a mixup caused by the person conducting the private signing, I was unable to get my magazine signed (I have not purchased anything from him and was removed from his mailing list as a result). I resubmitted it a couple months later and sadly Mr Banks passed away. Via my friend Joel B, I was connected with a person who had a PSA’d issue for sale. Today I received the magazine from Brian L and can mark this one off as taken care of! Thanks for the help Joel!
