Today I received three Rod Carew autographs I had signed via Tom O’s (orr23mj on SCN) private signing. These were the latest three cards I have gotten since I last sent in to a Carew signing. The cards turned out great! They are:
2019 Allen & Ginter 115
05.20.1970 Topps Now Turn Back The Clock 51
07.16.1969 Topps Now Turn Back The Clock 108

A Butcher, A Baker, A Candlestick Maker…
Today I received the last Scott Baker card I needed to complete my run of his Twins cards. Calvin S (calripken88 on SCN) reached out and noticed I needed the 2012 Topps #276 card for my signed collection. He got it signed when Scott was rehabbing in Daytona when he was with the Cubs. With this card, I am down to needing just one to complete the 2012 Topps Twins set. That card is the Johan Santana AL All Time ERA Leaders card (#232).
Thorpedo
Today I received a 2020 Topps #97 Lewis Thorpe card signed that I purchased from Signatures4Soldiers (Sigs4Soldiers on SCN). Tim does a great thing by assisting US military personnel by getting cards signed and sold with the money going towards the charity. The card looks awesome!
Oh Danny Boy!
Today I received the final signed Topps Twins card from the 1971 set. A gentleman named Robert M made a post on a Facebook group that he was looking for a handful of cards and provided a list of them plus a list of his doubles. I found that I had three cards he needed and he had a 1971 Danny Thompson card I needed. We made a trade and I included a few other cards for his collection. We were both very pleased and each knocked off some cards from the need list! Thanks for the trade Robert!
