Sleg-Hammer

Today I received a pair of packages that had some real nice items in them.

The first package was from Chad L (TheChad on SCN) and contained a bunch of Rochester Red Wing items he got signed for me at the Welcome Home Luncheon and the first few weeks of the season.  He filled in some real nice items I was unable to get at Twinsfest or otherwise so far.  Chad got the following signed for me:
Aaron Slegers ticket w/”MLB Debut”
Tyler Duffey ticket w/”1st Win!”
Alan Busenitz ticket w/”MLB Debut”
Zach Granite ticket w/”First HR”
Gabriel Moya 1st Save ticket
Gabriel Moya ML Debut ticket
Kennys Vargas 2017 Topps Now Road To Opening Day OD-146
Aaron Slegers 2018 Topps 227
Chad has a few other items to work on for me and I should be getting those goodies in a month or so.  I cannot wait!  Thanks Chad!!!

The second package was from Devin M (baseballexpert on SCN) and contained the following cards:
4 Jake Reeds
Vance Worley
Jason Richardson
Yohan Pino
2 Niko Goodrums
James Beresford
These cards appear better in person than they even were in the photo!

Thanks Caden!

Today Caden and his buddies went to the Twins game early and tried for autographs.  A couple days ago I got in three Ryan LaMarre ML Debut tickets and Caden said he wanted one so I gave it to him.  This morning he got it signed with ML Debut and gave it to me when he got home!  He got a few cards signed for his collection too!  What a kid!  Thanks Caden!

A King, A Cy, and Spring Goodies

Today was a fun day to get mail!  I received three packages full of autographed goodies.
The first package I opened contained a pair of magazines signed by “The King” Richard Petty.  Mr Petty was kind enough to sign the March 1992 and December 1992 Stock Car Racing magazines in thin silver paint pen.  They look great!  I am going to give one to my brother who is a big NASCAR fan.
The second package I opened contained a pair of Sports Illustrated magazines signed by Jake Arrieta.  I never figured I would get one Jake Arrieta autograph in my collection much less two!  Pat Neshek started helping out collectors to get items signed from the Phillies for a nominal fee.  I mailed in some cards for Caden and a pair of SI’s for me.  I received the SI’s today.  They are both signed beautifully!  They are the 03.28.2016 and 10.10.2016 issues.  I cannot thank Pat enough for helping out fellow collectors.
The last package I opened contained a bunch of autographed items from spring training that Vinnie M (vinniemiller on SCN) got for me.  These items are:
Amir Garrett ML Debut tickets X3
Ariel Hernandez ML Debut tickets X2
Jesse Winker ML Debut ticket
Jimmy Sherfy ML Debut tickets X2
David Dahl ML Debut ticket
Alen Hansen ML Debut ticket
Pablo Sandoval ML Debut ticket
Francisco Mejia ML Debut tickets X2
Rob Refsnyder 1st Hit ticket
Jeff Mathis – 02.24.2003 Sports Illustrated
Vinnie has a bunch of other items for the visiting Seattle teams this season.  He does a fantastic job on my items and cannot wait to see what else he has for me this year!

Turn To Max

Today I received a pair of packages I am excited to add to the collection.  The first package contained the 10.30.2017 issue of Sports Illustrated signed by Justin Turner.  Mark B (renaissancemanla on SCN) got Justin to sign it at Albert Pujols’ golf event on March 1st.  It turned out great!
The other package was from Matt H (MattyIce on SCN) who lives near the Twins spring training complex and was able to hook me up with the following items signed beautifully in blue:
2017 Topps Heritage Phil Hughes #562
Max Kepler ticket with “Debut”
Max Kepler ticket with “1st HR”
It was a fun day of mail!
