Today I received a 1963 Topps Bob Allison signed card I bought on eBay from tmc23. Ted Casey is known as a seller of legit autographs within the SCN community. His customer service was really good and he included a nice note with my purchase. Thanks Ted!

Big Sexy
Today I received a package that included a few items I sent to Chris R (rifon on SCN) that he got signed at a recent White Plains, NY autograph and card show. I had purchased a game used baseball during the game in which Bartolo Colon beat the Diamondbacks in which he became the 18th pitcher to beat all 30 teams back on 08.20.2017 at Target Field. When I found Big Sexy was signing autographs at the show, I contacted Chris and sent him the following Bartolo Colon items:
-Game used baseball inscribed with “8/20/17” above the lace above the sweetspot and “Beat all 30 teams” below the lace below the sweetspot.
-Ticket from 8/20/2017 game with “Beat all 30 teams”
-8/4/17 Topps Now
-8/20/17 Topps Now
-8/21/17 Topps Now
Chris also got Jose Reyes to sign my 03.05.2012 Sports Illustrated magazine that was already signed by Ozzie Guillen. With Reyes signing it, it is now complete.
Thanks for the help Chris!!!
Danny Boy
Today I received a 1973 Topps #443 Danny Thompson signed card that I purchased from Mickey’s Sportscards. It is the last 1973 Topps Twins card I need for the signed set. I do need a couple coaches on the manager card but those won’t happen on the card I have because the coaches are deceased. At this point though, I have all the Twins cards with at least one signature on it. I am excited about that!
