Fan HQ had a couple Twins players come in for signings recently. It is a bit of a drive for me to get there so I just pay the extra and mail it all to them. They really do a fantastic job on items and take care of them as they were their own. When I saw Royce Lewis and Jhoan Duran appearing there I knew I had to send in since they offered inscriptions and I had a few items that needed to be signed with inscriptions. The items I received back today are:
Royce Lewis:
5/6/2022 game used baseball signed with “MLB Debut 5/6/22”
5/6/2022 ticket signed with “MLB Debut:
5/13/2022 ticket signed with “1st MLB HR”
Jhoan Duran:
4/8/2022 game used baseball signed with “MLB Debut 4/8/22”
5/2/2022 ticket signed with “1st MLB Save”
I am excited to knock these items off with inscriptions. Fan HQ has a few items of mine for a Joe Mauer private signing that I hope to get back within the next couple weeks. What fun!

Kitty Kaat
Mike Macguire is the autograph agent for Jim Kaat and does an amazing job with items for collectors. I recently acquired a 2022 HOF Induction ticket and sent it to Mike to have Jim sign it. They met up in Cooperstown for the Hall of Fame weekend and signed the ticket. It was signed exactly where I requested it and looks great! Now to add Tony O and Big Papi…
Damon
I thought I had everything I needed signed by Johnny Damon when I found a listing that Jamie B (jamieblye on SCN) had for a private signing and looked to make sure. Turns out I did not have his signature on the 04.04.2005 Sports Illustrated magazine. It is the 2005 Baseball Preview Issue and has Derek Jeter pictured with Damon. I will never finish this because Jeter’s autographs are astronomically priced and if I was to spend the money on something there are a half dozen items I would get signed before this SI. It looks great though!
Gunnar!
One of the most exciting young players in baseball is Gunnar Henderson of the Baltimore Orioles. He made his debut in 2022 and I happened to purchase a pair of tickets from his debut game. About a year and a half ago, shortly after his debut, a signing was posted on SCN by jamieblye. I have used Jamie many times over the years and he does a great job with my items so I sent in one of the tickets. The signing was postponed and delayed for a long time but it finally happened and today I received my ticket signed along with “MLB Debut 8-31-22” I am really happy to have this one back finally!
