I recently received an email that PastPros held a private signing with Jerald Clark. One of the cards they had available was the 1995 Topps Traded #118T Twins card. I was excited because it is a card that has been on my want list for a while. Jerald Clark just does not sign many autographs. So, I bought the card and today it arrived. I am pleased with the card, signature, and everything about my purchase! Thanks Colin at Past Pros!

Devin is Heaven
I received an RTS today from my request sent to Lewis Thorpe. I do not know his apartment number so it was shot back to me. I sent it hoping the letter carrier would look for it but I knew I had a slim to none shot at getting it back signed.
I did, however, received a reply from Devin Smeltzer filled with hope! Devin signed my card and included an inscription on it that said “Baseball Will Be Back!” It was just what I needed as I have been missing baseball a lot lately and pretty much have come to the realization that I will not see a Twins game live this year. Thanks for giving me hope Devin! GO TWINS!!!
Goin’ To Austin
I was recently looking at the SCN trade list and came across a 2019 Tyler Austin Gypsy Queen card listed. I messaged Ken W who had it available and was excited to see he needed an extra Jared Burton card I got signed at Twinsfest years ago. We made an good, old fashioned trade! Today I received the Austin card and am excited to mark it off my need list!
My Cousin Vinnie!
