Today I received a box. A medium sized box. It came from Vinnie M (vinniemiller on SCN). Inside this box was a boatload of beautifully signed items from the Mariners team and their visiting teams. Vinnie does a fantastic job of getting items signed for me throughout the year. I have to get another package together to send him for the next half of the season! Here is what he got signed for me:
Bruce Bochy OMLB
3 Andrew Romine tickets when he played all nine positions with one having #All9Romine inscription
Adrian Beltre 3000th hit ticket
Rougned Odor ML Debut ticket
David Dahl ML Debut ticket

NOW! Topps! NOW!!!
Today I received a cool box from Topps that included my Topps Now Opening Day autographed cards. At the beginning of the season Topps issued a set of Twins (and every other team) cards of the players who they expected to make the opening day roster. You had the opportunity to purchase a set with or without an autographed card. There were four players who autographed their cards for the autographed set. I bought four sets so it insured I would get a signed card by each player. Today those cards showed up. I did not realize that they were numbered which was kind of cool. The cards and numbers I received are:
Felix Jorge 5/5
Zack Granite 01/10
Brian Dozier 30/49
Byron Buxton 08/25
Pretty cool cards!
The Hec(tor) With It
Today I received a 2017 Topps Heritage #571 card signed by Hector Santiago. I bought this card from Ross M (azgrapher85345 on SCN). It looks great and helps get a former Twin card for the collection!
Kurt
Today I received a 2016 Topps Heritage #627 Kurt Suzuki signed card that I purchased from Mike P (SoxAutographs29 on SCN). The Topps Heritage high number series comes out just as the season is ending and 2016 was the final year Kurt played for the Twins. Obviously he was not at Twinsfest the following January so I was not going to be able to get it signed. Mike offered this card on SCN and I am excited to add it to the collection!
