Mike C (mac6185 on SCN) had a signing with Todd Helton a couple weeks ago. I had sent in my actual HOF Induction ceremony ticket from last year to the signing. It is stamped and cancelled at the post office induction weekend. I also sent in a plaque postcard that I had cancelled at the post office there as well. Both came back signed beautifully. I am excited to get these items signed from that magical trip to Cooperstown we did as a family last summer. I have a couple more to go on my ticket to complete it!

I am your father, Luke!
Today was the second season ticket holder signing event of the summer for the Minnesota Twins. It featured Kody Clemens and Luke Keaschall. Amy and I got to the ballpark a little late due to unexpected road traffic but we were in time. Kody signed a baseball for each of us and Luke signed a pair of Topps Now cards and a ticket and inscribed “1st MLB Walkoff HR”. Everything was great and it was a fun little outing. I gave my brother a Clemens ball and one of the Topps Now cards which he appreciated.
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!
That’s A Ticket!
I don’t recall ever sending in for a player to sign something via a team for their charity in the past. I have wanted to but never got around to it. I decided to see if I could get one of my debut tickets for Kris Bryant signed so I sent a ticket to the Rockies to their charity and today I was met with a tremendous success! It was signed beautifully with a nice fat (in this case it worked great!) blue Sharpie. What an awesome item to add to the collection!
