Today’s mail brought a couple really cool items for the collection. First, Royce Lewis signed four Topps Now cards that I sent to the ballpark back in August. Those cards are:
2023 Topps Now 05.29.2023 #359
2023 Topps Now 10.03.2023 #959
2023 Topps Now 10.11.2023 #995
2024 Topps Now 06.21.2024 #326
I also received a pair of the oversized Major League (the movie) cards that I picked up at the 2014 All Star Fanfest signed by Chelsie Ross. Chelsie played Eddie Harris and included each inscription I requested. On his card, #MLC-EH, he signed it with Eddie Harris and “You tryin’ to say Jesus Christ can’t hit a curveball?”. On the Jobu card, #MLC-JB, he signed it with Eddie Harris as well and included “Yo bartender. Jobu needs a refill.” and “Up your butt Jobu!” Those are three of the top quotes from the Major League movie!

Yungblud
During Ozzy Osbourne’s final show, one of the performers was a singer named Yungblud. I had never heard of him (Dom) before but was impressed with his energy and vocals. I started listening to some songs and watching short videos of him performing and was impressed. When I saw he was offering a signed CD of a collaboration with Aerosmith, I bought two. They arrived today and, while the signature is not much, they are both signed real nice with a cool gold paint pen. I do not yet have the heart to tear one open to listen but I do like “My Only Angel” and how Yungblud and Steven Tyler’s voice blend so perfectly!
Wild Thing!
One of my most favorite interactions with a celebrity was when I met Charlie Sheen. He was so cool to me and far, far exceeded what I expected it to be. When I saw Charlie was signing and Joseph K (joe0316 on SCN) was taking items for the signing, I sent in my two Major League items. I received them back signed in blue as requested. The items are:
Japanese Movie Ticket Stub
Japanese Postcard
Exciting oddball items to add to my collection!
Well Played Mauer
Yesterday I got a notice that I had a package at the Post Office to sign for. I sent my SASE with signature confirmation for Fan HQ’s signing with Joe Mauer due to the value of the items inside of it. I wanted to make sure I got it. During lunch today I went to the Post Office and picked it up. As always, Fan HQ does an amazing job on items. I got the following today:
2024 Topps Heritage #205
2024 Allen & Ginter #190
MLB 11 The Show with Joe on the cover and “Well Played Mauer”
06.06.2004 ticket with “1st MLB HR”
06.10.2010 ticket with “Behind Net Catch”
08.05.2023 ticket with “2023 Twins HOF”
I am over the top excited to add these to my collection!
