No, not THAT Joltin’ Joe but one of my favorite Joe’s in baseball, Joe Mauer. Today I received a pair of Joe Mauer cards that my friend Paul C got signed during spring training this year. He got:
2012 Topps #535
2006 Topps All Star #UH271
I have another package of baseballs coming from Paul shortly. Thanks for all your work Paul!

A Bill I was Happy To Get
Today’s mail brought a couple signed items I recently purchased. The first was a Billy Terry signed baseball. I was watching this baseball for about six months on eBay and did not see a nicer one listed in all that time. I bought it from Richard Altman and it comes with a full JSA letter.
The other item that showed up was a John Roseboro 1969 Topps card I bought from littball99 on eBay. This is a replacement for one that I had bought a while ago and did not feel it was legit. That one ended up in the garbage and this beautiful one makes me feel better.
I’m Not Greedy. I Just Needed a Crede!
When I saw Joe Crede was going to be signing at the Chicago White Sox Fanfest, I had to find someone to get me the last Crede card I needed. Donnie D (macey225 on SCN) stepped up to get the job done for me. I probably offered too much to get it done but to have that knocked off my need list is a great feeling. Donnie got me the 2009 Topps Heritage high numbered card signed in beautiful blue Sharpie. His communication and fast turnaround shipping it to me was perfect! Thanks Donnie!
