I saw a posting on Facebook that stated Louie Varland was signing at the Maplewood Mall here in the Twin Cities. It was a free event. I got up to go and Amy asked what I was doing and told her and she wanted to come along so we headed out. I got a baseball signed and Amy got a 2023 Topps and a 2023 Topps Heritage card signed for me. Louie was awesome. He was so friendly and personable. He said he is already excited for next season! It was a very pleasurable experience for us!

Ohhhh Boy! What a Box!
Wow! What can I saw about the box I received today? Holy smokes? That does not give it justice!
My buddy Chris L (ChrisL999 on SCN) has long been one of my go to guys for autographs. I usually send him a dozen balls and let him get who he thinks are prospects, etc. This year I sent him the balls but also some cards and tickets. He came through big time for me!
The baseballs he got signed for me are:
Cade Cavalli
Jacob Young
Alan Roden
Ezequiel Tovar
Jake Bennett
Dylan Crews
Owen Murphy
Jackson Holliday
Yohandy Morales
Jake Alu
Anthony Solometo
Michael Toglia
You read that right! The TOP TWO PROSPECTS IN ALL OF BASEBALL!!!! Wow!
If that was not enough, he got Mackenzie Gore to sign his debut ticket as well as Luis Arraez sign four cards I needed for my Topps Project!
Chris is the MAN! He, and I, are already excited for next season! Thanks pal!
Not A Rook(er) Any More
Brent Rooker was a touted rookie with the Twins as he come up the system. He is currently playing with the Oakland A’s and doing quite well. AutographDen on eBay had a 2022 Gypsy Queen card for sale so I bought it. AutographDen is also on SCN (ColeL33) and is someone I trust buying cards from for my Twins sets.
Makin’ Shoes
Ryan S (Rls2239 on SCN) recently had a private signing with Matt Shoemaker. Matt played one less than stellar season with the Twins and was released and never signed with another team. I was excited to see this signing and sent in my 2021 Topps Update #US239 card and received it back today signed beautifully!
