Just Happ’y to Be Here

Ryan S (Rls2239 on SCN) had a private signing with JA Happ. I had four cards I needed to be signed for my Twins card collection. Ryan had a deal where you send in four get one free so I sent in five cards. They arrived today and look great!
The cards I received are:
2021 Topps #US126
2021 Allen & Ginter #165 @ 2
2021 Topps Now Road to Opening Day #OD-131
2021 Topps Now #119

Rodney

A while ago I had sent in a pair of Topps Project 70 cards for a signing that Tom O (orr23mj on SCN) was having with Rod Carew. I asked Tom to use a nice bold gold paint pen. Well, when I received them the paint pen appears transparent on it. I reached out to Tom and he told me to send them back next time he had a signing with him.
I sent the two cards so he could wipe them or show that they were messed up plus a replacement of each of them (I usually buy two of things for exactly this reason) as well as a different Project 70 card and a Topps Andy Friedman Spotlight 70 Series II card. I received all six cards signed today. I did not expect the two that were signed in gold to be signed but they were and I was able to remove the gold paint pen. Tom provides solid customer service!

Mauer Power

Scott S (SI King) hit the Lake Tahoe Celebrity Golf Tournament and offered Joe Mauer as a person he would try to obtain autographs of for those who sent in items. He always does a first come, first served so I sent my items in right away and was the first ones done. I mailed four cards:
2018 Topps #231
2018 Topps Now #OD-141
2020 Allen & Ginter #20
2021 Allen & Ginter #132
All were signed in blue Sharpie and look great. I have only two cards left I need signed by Joe and a few magazines and other oddball items.
For a little sneak peak I will let you know that I sent in five items to a signing event in Cooperstown during the Hall of Fame induction weekend that I should get within the next week or two. THOSE are going to be awesome!
