A Final AAA Hurrah

With the Red Wings losing in the playoffs this weekend, it brought an end to the autographs my buddy Jon S can get me.  He had already finished up my last batch of cards from the Twins AAA team and mailed them late last week.  I received them today.  Jon has taken great care of my Twins needs the past couple seasons.  Today I received the following:
2013 Topps Aaron Hicks
2013 Topps Darin Mastroianni
2013 Gypsy Queen Scott Diamond
2012 Topps Heritage Minor Leagues Aaron Hicks All Star
Thanks a ton Jon!

A Couple Former Twins

Today I received a couple packages with cards I needed for my Twins card sets.  The first was a 2012 Allen & Ginter Ben Revere card.  I got this card signed via a private signing at Carl’s Cards and Collectibles in Havertown, PA.  The other was a package with a couple Kevin Slowey cards.  Marc M (mesarosfamily on SCN) got these signed during Spring Training and we traded for a couple 1974 cards.

Great Scott!

Today I received a package from my friend Jon (Scott) and his son Tyler from Rochester, NY.  Jon and Tyler work the Red Wings and since most of the Twins players have been bouncing between there and Minneapolis, he has hooked me up with a lot of autographs for my Topps Twins collection. Today’s package included:
Cole DeVries 2013 Topps
Scott Diamond 2013 Topps
Liam Hendriks 2013 Topps
Chris Herrmann 2013 Topps
Chris Parmelee 2013 Topps
Aaron Hicks 2011 Topps Heritage Minor League
Nick Blackburn eTopps
Jon and Tyler do awesome work and they really take care of me.  Thanks guys!

Recently I was digging around my stuff and came across a couple postcards of Bobby Doerr that I sent to him.  I received those two back today as well.  One is an exhibit card and the other is the Perez Steele card.  Always nice to get a hall of famer!
