Today Caden received his package of baseball cards that we sent to Pat Neshek to have his teammates sign. I received a pair of Sports Illustrated magazines last week and today Caden’s cards showed up. I sent Pat a package of four baseballs that should arrive tomorrow. I am excited for those.
In Caden’s package were the following cards:
Jake Arrieta – 2017 Gypsy Queen #235
Aaron Nola – 2017 Allen & Ginter #206, 2017 Topps Heritage #93, 2018 Topps Heritage #188
Jorge Alfaro – 2017 Gypsy Queen #4, 2018 Topps Heritage #352
Jerad Eickhoff – 2017 Gypsy Queen #123, 2018 Topps Heritage #392
Cameron Rupp – 2017 Gypsy Queen #72
Vince Velasquez – 2017 Gypsy Queen #92
Maikel Franco – 2017 Gypsy Queen #220
Hector Neris – 2018 Topps Heritage #184
JP Crawford – 2018 Topps Heritage #273
These are awesome cards and Caden is stoked to have them in his collection. Thanks Pat!!!

Happ(y) For The Thrill
Today I received a pair of packages of items that made me happy!
The first was an envelope where I received a 2017 Topps #554 card signed by Jason Castro. Since Jason was not at Twinsfest, I was unable to get it signed so I was happy to add it via Matt W (invctrl on SCN).
The other package was my second of three packages I sent to spring training signings for MLAM. This package contained a pair of Will Clark Sports Illustrated magazines… 05.28.1990 signed real nice in silver and 04.04.1988 (now to add Mark McGwire to it and finish it!). It also had an Ian Happ ticket signed with “ML Debut”. All items came with an MLB hologram on them. I am real happy how they turned out!
Greene With Envy
Today I received the first item I had sent out to spring training signings via MLAM. I received my baseball signed by Hunter Greene with the MLB hologram. I am very pleased and can’t wait for the others to arrive!
Rice, Rice, Devers
Today I received a package that has been months in the making. Not because of anyone’s fault but mine. Earlier this week I was going through some of the tracking numbers that I still had outstanding and realized I had not received a package of a couple Jim Rice and a Rafael Devers autographs where the signing was back in November. I went through my records and found that I mailed the items in to Sure Shot Promotions and had not received them back yet. I found their website online and called them and Mike answered the phone. I got the list of my items halfway out of my mouth when he said he was happy I called because he had them sitting there for a couple months. He said he tried contacting me but did not have a phone number or email address. I had enclosed a SASE but it must have been discarded when the items arrived and he was truly happy to hear from me and get the items to me. Today I picked up my 10.27.1986 Sports Illustrated magazine that was already signed by Gary Carter and my 04.09.1979 Sports Illustrated magazine that was already signed by Dave Parker which are now both signed by Jim Rice. Also included in my package was a debut ticket for Rafael Dever with “ML Debut” inscription. All three are beautifully signed. Mike did a great job on these and they finally came home.
