Today I received a card I bought from Shawn J (shawnmjacklitch on SCN) that he got signed by Anthony Swarzak. After Anthony left the Twins, he ended up pitching in Korea and then came back and signed with the Yankees. The 2015 Topps #128 completes my run of Swarzak cards I need for my sets. Thanks Shawn!

Puck Luck
Today I received a card signed by Kirby Puckett that I needed to complete my 1992 Topps Twins team set. Nick V (sox1 on SCN) got this card signed during one of the Twins many visits to Chicago back when Puckett was playing. It was signed in blue Sharpie on the 1992 Topps #575 card. I am excited to be able to complete off the 1992 Twins team set! Thanks Nick!
Upgrading Away
Today I received a package from Chris P (medic-34 on SCN). Chris is working on getting all the Topps cards with the Rookie Cup logo on them signed and I happened to have a few of them he needed. Our trade worked out that I received the following cards that I upgraded:
65T Gerry Arrigo card well centered with inscription
70T George Mitterwald nice blue sharpie
79T Glenn Adams in blue sharpie
82T Fernando Arroyo in blue sharpie
00T Chad Allen, little darker blue sharpie
He also sent me some 2000 Greats of the Game that were upgrades to mine that I sent him back the ones I had. Those are: Ben Oglivie, Mel Stottlemyre, and Dave Righetti.
This was a fun trade where I was able to upgrade some cards. Thanks Chris!
My Byung Ho
Today I received a baseball card I bought from Chad L (TheChad on SCN) that he got signed in Rochester at a Red Wings game. Chad got the 2016 Gypsy Queen #141 Byung Ho Park card signed so I added it to the collection today! Thanks Chad!
