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!

A Serving Trey
Todd B (moselder71 on SCN) had a signing with Trey Mancini recently and was able to get my debut ticket signed. Trey signed it with “MLB Debut”. It looks great!
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.
Flipped Over!
Dan Gladden has not signed the Sports Illustrated magazine where he collided with Greg Olson in the 1991 World Series for a while. Years ago he was at an appearance and Cami had a photo of the collision and he personalized it to her and had a really cool inscription. I was waiting for a private signing with Dan so I would not have to deal with an inscription or anything else like that. I saw that Guy Puglia had a signing with Dan so I sent in the magazine that I had Greg sign just a couple months ago and received it back today signed by Dan. He signed his name and included #32!
