Today I received a pair of items for the collection. If you are one of the very few who follow my blog, you might remember the Sports Illustrated from 11.02.1992 that I purchased recently that was signed by five Blue Jays players. Well, now it is signed by six! Jimmy Key was kind enough to sign it and return it!
My other item was a card that Courtland S (cort10 on SCN) got signed for me at the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions golf tournament. I had sent some Josh Donaldson cards to three people who were going and one person had a change of plans. Courtland got me the 2021 Gypsy Queen #40 signed. I have another package on its way with a few more from the third person so stay tuned!

I recently saw on SCN that Ryan S (rls2239 on SCN) was having a signing with Al Avila and I needed a 2020 Topps Update U-54 card signed for my Twins team set so I sent it in. Received it today signed beautifully in blue Sharpie.
A Trifecta!
I saw a post by Charlie Siegel on Facebook with some cards available a week or so ago and noticed three Twins cards I needed. What is so great about these cards are that they are all players who are no longer on the Twins team so it is nice to get these knocked off. The cards I got are:
CJ Cron 2019 Topps Update US253
Martin Perez 2019 Topps Update US 222
Jhoulys Chacin 2020 Topps Update U-126
Mighty Max
Scott N (2hotty on SCN) recently posted that his mom and dad were both in pretty bad shape health wise and was selling some cards to help them out. I noticed he had a pair of Max Kepler cards listed for sale. I needed both and bought them. The cards are:
Topps 2021 #11
Gypsy Queen 2020 #12
After receiving the cards, I send an additional donation his way to help him and his parents out. I received a really nice thank you from Scott which made me happy.
