Tony Oliva was signing autographs at Fan HQ at Ridgedale Mall today. Caden had his baseball workout in Burnsville so I dropped him off and drove to Ridgdale Mall. I bought two tickets and got a 1965 Sports Illustrated and a 1966 Topps team card signed. I figured by doing this today I could avoid his lines next weekend at Twinsfest and the price was comparable. They turns out nice and, as always, Tony was awesome.

Joe Joe
Today I met up with Nick K who had some items he got signed for me at the end of the Twins season. Nick takes care of a lot of the Twins visiting teams for me. Today’s package had:
Joe Mauer – 2017 Topps Heritage 220
Joe Mauer – 2017 Gypsy Queen 116
Kyle Gibson – 2016 Topps Heritage 112
Can’t wait until next year!
Mom’s Spaghetti
Today I received a 2017 Topps Heritage High Number Brandon Kintzler card #554 that Chris L (ChrisL999 on SCN) got signed. I titled this post Mom’s Spaghetti because when Kintzler was a Twin, the song that played when he came in was “Lose Yourself” by Eminem and the kids and I would laugh at the “mom’s spaghetti” part of the song.
Adalberto Mejia
Today I received a 2017 Topps Adalberto Mejia signed card I received in a trade with Ed S (rockinace on SCN). It is surprisingly my first Mejia autograph in my collection!
