Sir Rodney

Today I received a pair of items signed by Rod Carew. Tom O (orr23mj on SCN) had a private signing with Rodney and I sent in a Perez Steele postcard and a 2021 Allen & Ginter card #108. Without knowing if there would be a Twinsfest this January I was not willing to wait to get these done. Rod’s prices are going up and I figured it would be best to get him now with those items laying around needing ink.

Tony O

I may be a little bias here but I have felt for years that Tony Oliva deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. As a person, he is second to none always smiling and taking photos with fans at Target Field or where ever. He is one of Cami’s favorite autograph gets of all time when she got him on a ball at the 2014 All Star Fanfest. I have a ton of Tony O autographs but had some items laying around that needed his signature on them so when I saw that Jeff F (haleysdaddy0304 on SCN) was having a signing with him at a reasonable price, I jumped on it. I got the following items signed beautifully via Jeff’s signing:
June 1971 Baseball Digest
1970 Topps Super
1971 Topps Super
Topps Living Set #366
Topps Now Turn Back The Clock #91
1967 Topps Venezuelan #230
They are all really cool but I think my favorite of this batch is the Venezuelan card! Thanks for doing a fantastic job on these Jeff!

Chris is the MAN!

I have really whittled down the list of guys who I trust getting me signed items of late. Not only the trust but people who care of my stuff as I do. Chris L (ChrisL999 on SCN) is one of those few. I received a box of stuff from the balance of the season that he worked for me. The challenges he overcomes and the effort he puts in on getting these autographs is appreciated! Today’s box included the following BEAUTIFULLY signed items:
Josiah Gray blue ink sweetspot baseball
Yadiel Hernandez blue ink sweetspot baseball
Nico Hoerner blue ink sweetspot baseball
Tres Barrera blue ink sweetspot baseball
Jazz Chisholm blue ink sweetspot baseball
Nick Yorke blue ink sweetspot baseball
Keibert Ruiz blue ink sweetspot baseball
Gilberto Jimenez blue ink sweetspot baseball
Brendan Rodgers 1st hit ticket
Ryne Harper 2019 Topps US226

I also received a pair of cards that Haley H (r0yals2012 on SCN) got signed for me. I had sent Haley a pair of 2021 Topps Twins team cards #156 to get signed by Aaron Whitefield. Whitefield is one of the three players pictured on the card and plays for the Wichita Storm Surge. One card turned out beautifully but the other the marker died. I am fine with it since I got one good one and is one of the reasons I send a pair when I can. Now I have to get Eddie Rosario and Jake Cave on that card to finish it!
