I met Mike E via Facebook a year and a half or so ago. He helped my out with some minor league guys as well as some Twins during spring training. He has really helped me out this year! Today I received a package of some minor league guys with Rich Hill and Kenta Maeda being guys I really needed. I took these Rich Hill cards to a couple Twins games as well as my games a couple summers ago in Pittsburgh and had no luck getting them inked up. Mike was successful and did an awesome job for me with the Iowa Cubs and their visitors. Today’s awesome package includes:
Rich Hill – 2020 Topps #413
Rich Hill – 2020 Topps #U-111
Rich Hill – 2021 Topps Heritage #437
Kenta Maeda – 2020 Toipps #U-205
Kenta Maeda – 2022 Topps #622
John Gant – 2022 Topps #280
Every package I get from Mike is like Christmas morning!

A Load of Twins!
I stumbled upon a post of cards for sale on Facebook that Wesley George posted. Before looking further, I looked into him on SCN and there was a post that he is a legit seller. I then dug into the cards and found they are identical to a number of in person autographs I received for these players so I made a list. Today I received the third of three packages I bought from him. I could not be happier!
The cards I received are:
Jorge Polanco – 2024 Topps #67
Pablo Lopez – 2024 Topps #155
Jorge Alcala – 2024 Topps #US4
Ryan Jeffers – 2025 Topps #339
Trevor Larnach – 2024 Topps Heritage #455
Max Kepler – 2021 Topps Heritage #119
Max Kepler – 2024 Topps Heritage #476
Jorge Polanco/Brian Dozier – 2017 Topps Heritage #128
Carlos Correa – 2023 Topps Heritage #548
Carlos Correa – 2024 Allen & Ginter #90
Byron Buxton – 2017 Allen & Ginter #33
Byron Buxton – 2019 Gypsy Queen #78
Byron Buxton – 2020 Gypsy Queen #289
Byron Buxton – 2022 Gypsy Queen #13
So excited to knock all these off the need list!
Justin Time
Justin Morneau is one of my favorite Twins players. He and Joe Mauer combined for the M & M Boys during my season ticket hey day. Fan HQ had a private signing with Justin and I sent in a few items. Fan HQ does an amazing job on everything that I have ever sent in to them for their signings. This was no exception. I got the following items signed PERFECTLY:
Final Metrodome Season Opener Ticket (already signed by Kent Hrbek and Gary Gaetti and now complete)
07.06.2007 Twins @ White Sox ticket with inscriptions “3 HR’s” and “100-102”
2024 Topps Heritage #203
All Arraez!
Luis Arraez was a huge fan favorite when he played for the Twins and still is even on his third team since then. Fan HQ set up a signing with him so I sent in my last three cards I needed and received them back signed perfectly! I received:
2023 Topps #289
2023 Topps Heritage #201
2022 Topps Now 10.05.2022 #1028
That closes the book on my Arraez needs for my Twins sets!
