Joe HOF Package #2

Yes. Today is Columbus Day and no mail service but my mail carrier showed up this morning with a signature request for my second Joe Mauer package from FanHQ’s private signing! I excitedly signed for the package and ripped it open! Inside were the following items:
HOF Logo baseball signed under the logo
HOF Logo baseball signed under the logo with HOF 2024
HOF postcard I picked up and got stamped in Cooperstown during induction weekend with HOF 2024
My actual HOF induction ticket that I got stamped (I hope to someday get the other three inductees on the ticket to sign it)
I am really excited to see my third package that should arrive tomorrow! You won’t want to miss that one!

Joe HOF Package #1

FanHQ does an awesome job on the guests they have in for signing events. That is why I had no hesitation to send in a bunch of Joe Mauer items for Joe’s first signing post HOF induction. I actually sent in three different package and received notification that all three shipped. What is ironic is that it looks like each of the three packages will arrive on three consecutive mail days!
Today’s package included the last of the three I sent in. This involved a baseball that has his HOF induction logo on it. It is really cool and I had a fun time tracking these baseballs down at the ballpark with my brother. Joe signed it beautifully under the logo and included HOF 2024. Can’t wait for the other two packages to arrive!

Sir Rodney!

Tom Orr (orr23mj on SCN) has had numerous signings with Rod Carew over the years. He had a private signing lined up for February, 2024 but Rod’s health was not that great so it was delayed. Seeing Rod in Cooperstown made me understand first hand why. Rod was feeling better and Tom met with him and got my two cards signed and I received them today. At this point I think I have everything signed by Rod I have unsigned for my collection. That is until a new Twins card is released. The cards I got signed are:
2022 Allen & Ginter #145
2022 Topps Andy Friedman #32
As always with Tom, they are signed perfectly.
