A Couple Hall of Famers

Today I received a pair of signed items and both were from Hall of Famers.  The first was my HOF Postcard I sent to Bud Selig.  It game back all bubbled.  Pretty disappointing.  I guess I did not prep it well enough.
The second package made up for it though.  I had sent four cards I needed signed by Rod Carew for my Twins card sets to David G (FinFan1972 on SCN) who attended a signing he was at.  The cards David got signed for me are:
2016 Topps Now 248
2016 Gypsy Queen 328
2017 Allen & Ginter 79
2017 Gypsy Queen 315
I now have all Carew Twins cards made by Topps, Gypsy Queen, Allen & Ginter, and Topps Now.

Major League Hunter

Today I received a pair of packages of items for the collection.  You may remember that I got a 5″x7″ Major League card signed by Charlie Sheen when he was in town and bought a Chelcie Ross one.  Today I got a pair from the set that Chris R (rifon on SCN) got signed at a recent signing event for Tom Berenger and Corbin Bernsen.  That leaves just two cards I need to finish the set.  Unfortunately once has passed away.  I will work on finding that one!

The other package had a 2015 Allen & Ginter #195 Torii Hunter card that Zachary C (clarkzac on SCN) got at the Twins Hall of Fame breakfast event.  I am excited to knock that one off the need list.

A Fair Time

Today was the first day of the MN State Fair for me.  I took the kids along and we had a good time.  It worked out that Byron Buxton and Eddie Rosario were there and we got a few autographs from both of them.  The kids got me a couple cards I needed as well as items for their own collections.  The cards I ended up with were:
Byron Buxton- 2017 Topps Now Road To Opening Day

Byron Buxton- 2017 Allen & Ginter #33

We all had a great day at the Fair but to get to meet Twins players makes it so much more fun!
