Thanks a ton for your help Courtland! Great job! I cannot wait until next spring!

Some Twins
Today I received the first package from the few guys I trust who went to spring training. This package came from Fort Myers and had a bunch of Twins in it. Matt H (mattyice on SCN) lives in the Fort so he was able to get to a bunch of early workouts for me. This is my second spring sending him items and I am very pleased with what he got for me. Those items are:
Ryan Jeffers – OMLB
Lewis Thorpe – 1st Win ticket with “First ML W”
Luis Arraez – Triple play ticket from 07.22.2019
Randy Dobnak – Ticket with “1st MLB Save”
Alex Kirilloff – 2019 Bowman Next T15
Jake Cave – 2019 Gypsy Queen 156 & 2019 Topps Now Postseason
Jorge Polanco – 2019 Topps Now 4/5 & 2019 Topps Now 7/7 (said he remembered the play on the 7/7 card)
Marwin Gonzalez – 2019 Topps Heritage 553 & 2019 Topps Now Postseason
Max Kepler – 2019 Topps Now 7/21
Michael Pineda – 2019 Topps Heritage 662
Miguel Sano – 2017 Gypsy Queen 190
Mitch Garver – 2020 Topps 210 & 2020 Topps 18
Royce Lewis – 2019 Bowman Next T9
Matt did a fantastic job on my items! Thanks Matt!
Schoop It Up!
Today I received a 2019 Topps Heritage #456 from Michael T. Michael is a friend of Caden’s and got this signed last season. I forgot all about it and reminded him and he mailed it. It looks great!
Miller Time
Today I received a pair of items to add to the collection.
The first was a 1968 Topps #534 Bob Miller signed card from Jeff S (jeffnash on SCN). Jeff was splitting up his 1968 almost complete set and he had this card and another I needed. I did not feel like spending over $300 on two cards so I bought one at just over a third of that total. It is the last Bob Miller card I needed for my Twins sets.
The other package was from David B (partrain72 on SCN) who went to a celebrity softball game in Florida and got Mo Vaughn to sign his 10.02.1995 Sports Illustrated.
