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.

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!
Cave-Man
One of the players I had the need for a number of cards to get signed was Jake Cave. Jake is not a difficult signature to get but he was always between AAA and the Twins. Then he was no longer with the Twins. I was fortunate to hear about a signing that Brian S (bcards on SCN) was having with Cave so I sent in and received the following cards today:
2019 Topps #576
2019 Topps Now #PWB-14
2020 Topps #525
2020 Topps Team Card #213
2020 Topps Now Road To Opening Day- #OD-149
2021 Topps #US23
2021 Topps Heritage #390
2021 Topps Team Card #156 already signed by Aaron Whitfield
2022 Topps Heritage #461
I am excited to knock off all my Jake Cave needs!

As previously mentioned here, I finally was able to wrap up my lists of the Twins cards I received from Spring Training. After that, I was able to regroup and check extra cards that people received in Spring Training and was able to get my hands on a couple. Today’s mail brought a 2022 Topps Heritage #630 Gilberto Celestino card signed during the spring. Robbie L (robbielee on SCN) got my a few items signed and had this as an extra so I grabbed it!
