Topps Twins Project – Page 28 – Graphin’ With Kevin

Hip Hip Jose!

FanHQ had a signing with Jose Miranda today. I had acquired some tickets to his ML Debut game and had a few Topps Now cards so I decided to purchase tickets for his autograph and inscriptions and make the almost hour drive to the FanHQ store for the signing tonight. There were not many people at the event and I got there about a half hour before he was supposed to start signing. When I got to the table is was cool because Shaun, the owner of FanHQ, told Jose I liked to collect milestone tickets and spoke briefly of a focus of my collection. Jose then signed three tickets for me as well as three Topps Now cards. They turned out great. Shaun and his crew do a fantastic job on events like this. I could not be more pleased with how everything turned out.

Just Rollin'(s) Along

Rich Rollins was a feared power hitter for the Twins in the 1960s. I found a 1964 Venezuelan baseball card of his and a Baseball Digest from 1962 and decided to send them to him to be signed. He returned both signed beautifully with the marker I sent today!

Garry

For some reason, I am really attracted to the Venezuelan baseball cards printed in the 1960s. I picked up a couple recently and sent them out to be signed. They are typically way more worn and printed on thinner stock but having a back of a card in Spanish or a different background is cool to me. Today’s mail brought a 1964 Venezuelan Garry Roggenburk card that he signed in thin black Sharpie. Cool oddball card for the collection!

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!
