I did not have a chance to get to Paul Molitor’s line at Twinsfest so I sent him a 2025 Allen & Ginter #175 and received it back signed today! Paul is pretty automatic if you send the proper donation. Very happy with how this turned out!

Ober The Rainbow
I connected with Wesley George on Facebook recently. Wesley lives in Florida and has been running up and down Florida during spring training getting autographs. I have sent him a few to get signed and purchased a few. Today I received a 2026 Topps #31 Bailey Ober. Looking forward to getting more in the future!
Bert Be Home Blyleven
As a sports broadcaster for ESPN, Chris Berman came up with a number of nicknames for baseball players. My favorite one was Bert “Be Home” Blyleven. I have sent many items to Bert to have signed over the years. The latest arrived today. Bert signed my 2025 Allen & Ginter #341 perfectly, as usual.
May Day!
Trevor May pitched for the Twins for six seasons before playing a pair with the Mets and a final season with the A’s. While with the Twins, he frequently streamed his video game playing and had some cool interactions with fans. I have followed him since his deejaying days when he went by “Mazer.”
In 2020, Topps Now put out a card of some baseball players who were into video games and Trevor was one of them. I mailed him a pair with a request he sign one and keep the other. He did and I received it today! It is card number TSPT-3 and he signed it in black Sharpie which looks great on this card!
