I recently noticed on SCN that Scott N (2hotty) was selling a 2021 Topps Heritage #350 Trevor May card so I reached out to him and bought it. The first one he sent me got lost in the mail and never showed up either back to him or to me. I let him know and he sent me another one and I received it today. I will return the other if/when it shows up.

A Pair of Heritage Twins
Today’s mail brought in a pair of 2021 Topps Heritage cards that were signed in spring training. W R George (Brian Clapper on Facebook) got these signed and sent them to me. They are:

Nice cards signed in blue Sharpie and look great!

With Jim Kaat being inducted into the Hall of Fame recently, there is very few items I needed for my collection. One of which is a baseball with HOF 22 which I picked up recently. The other is a Hall of Fame postcard after induction weekend. Topps Now sold a card commemorating Jim’s induction into the Hall of Fame the day after the announcement. I picked up a pair of these cards with the intention to get them signed. Jim works with Mike Macguire as his agent (and a lot of other former Twins players) and Mike set it up so that you could mail him any card to have signed and he will gather them and send them to Jim for his autograph and Mike would then return them to you. It is cool that Jim is making himself available like this for the same (or very close to) price point as prior to his induction. Today I received the pair of Topps Now cards signed beautifully by Jim!
