Today I received three tickets I sent to Shaun H (FanHQ on SCN) for his autograph roadtrip. The tickets were season ticket varieties of the Dome Opener and Final Game (before #163 came about) from the final season at the Metrodone. Gary Gaetti signed a pair of Dome Opener tickets and Frank Viola signed the Final Game ticket. These tickets are pretty cool as they have three players on each that had great moments at the Metrodome. As always, Shaun did a perfect job with my items!

A Rey Of Sunshine
Today I received my 09.06.1999 Sports Illustrated magazine back from a signing Dana D (Er21 on SCN) had with Rey Ordonez. It now has three of the four players on the cover signed with it only needing John Olerud. I am glad to have it back signed and look forward to one day finishing it.
Expanding My Port-Zoilo
Today I received a couple items which are great to add to the collection. The first was a card I bought off eBay. noahsmemorabilia listed a 1975 Topps Zoilo Versalles MVP card #203 for sale. It was the last card I needed to complete my 1975 Topps Twins set so I was happy to see it available.
The other package was a box of Sports Illustrated magazines that Tom O (orr23mj on SCN) got via a pair of private signings he took part in. The first was a trio of Pedro Martinez SIs and the other was a pair of Johnny Bench SIs. I already had the two Bench SIs signed in the collection but the price was so good I had to send these in. It was cool to get Pedro on my 11.08.2004 SI. It already has Curt Schilling and Johnny Damon. All I need is David Ortiz to complete it! The SIs I got this time around are:
10.13.2003 Pedro Martinez
04.20.1998 Pedro Martinez
11.08.2004 Pedro Martinez
03.13.1972 Johnny Bench
11.01.1976 Johnny Bench
Not Burn(ed)
Today I received a 2008 eTopps Nick Blackburn card I had sent into a private signing that Pat Neshek had with Nick. It turned out great. Nick does not sign through the mail so it was cool to get this card signed by him.
