Shaun and his crew at FanHQ do an amazing job for customers. Today I received my package of items I sent in for the Luis Arraez and Nelson Cruz signing events. They took my original package and used that for additional packaging to ensure my items arrive as perfect as possible. Plus, the items were signed perfectly! The Cruz item I got signed was the Sports Illustrated magazine from 10.24.2011. For Arraez, I got a ticket from 07.22.2019 signed with “Triple Play” and a bunch of cards. The cards are:
2020 Topps 612
2020 Allen & Ginter 240
2020 Gypsy Queen 203
2020 Topps Heritage 293
2021 Topps Heritage 322
Topps Now 2020 Opening Day OD-143
Topps Now 2021 Opening Day OD-132
Topps Now 2020 Postseason PS-45
Topps Now 07.22.2019 (Triple play card related to ticket)
I was pretty pumped when I saw these items!

Not A Lump Of Cole
Today I received a pretty exciting card to complete my run of Twins Alex Cole cards. DEB Sports had a signing with Cole and I sent in my 1994 Topps Traded #12T card. It arrived today signed beautifully!
Gibby
Today I received one of the final two cards I need signed by Kyle Gibson! Michael F (mfranciosa on SCN) reached out to me when he saw I requested this card and I bought it and received it today. It is the 2019 Topps Heritage card 661 and it is signed in nice blue Sharpie!
Dead Red
Today I received my 1971 Topps Twins Rookie Stars card signed by Jim Nettles. Anthony Solano had a private signing with him so I sent in the card I had. What makes this exciting is that this card was already signed by Pete Hamm. Even though Pete is still alive, he just doesn’t sign autographs so having any card signed by him is pretty rare. The card I had was signed by Pete in red Sharpie so I included a red Sharpie in my package to Anthony and Jim signed it perfectly with it. While I would prefer blue over red, I am just happy that they are both the same color on a hard to find completed card! I already had a single signed Nettles card in blue but that will never get completed.
