Today was Sunday. Twins played at home. You know what that means! Cami and I time at the ballpark and autographs for Cami! Today’s kids autograph guests were Pedro Florimon and Trevor Plouffe. Cami loves Trevor Plouffe so there was no way I was going to get my Plouffe card signed but she did get Florimon on his 2013 Topps card for me. Trevor signed her baseball. It was a fun day at the ballpark with the Twins winning!

The Big Hurt and Jamey
Today I received a couple items and am thrilled with them.
The first package I opened contained a beautiful Frank Thomas autographed baseball with his two MVP years inscribed. The Big Hurt always hammered on the Twins including hitting his 500th career home run against them. I had a ball signed by him but it was not of great quality. This one is awesome. I purchased this from Isaias F (franco858 on SCN).
The other item was an sase I sent to Jamey Carroll at Target Field. He signed one of the two I sent but picked the one I really wanted, the 2013 Topps Heritage.
I am looking forward to another great mail day like this soon!
The Killer Revisited
Today I received a Harmon Killebrew card I purchased on eBay. This is the 1967 Twin Terrors card. My friend Steve gave me one that was signed by Bob Allison after Harmon announced he was ill. I could not bring myself to send it to him to finish it while he was fighting his illness so I left it as it was. I added a Killebrew version and now I have two cards with each signed by each person. I would have preferred one signed by both but I would have thought about how I sent it to the classiest person on Earth when he was living his last days every time I looked at it. I am happy with what I have.
A Couple Purchases…
Today I received a couple baseball things I recently purchased. I am pleased to add an Addison Russell signed baseball. Addison is a highly rated prospect in baseball and I purchased this beauty from Scott M (35kd on SCN).
I also received a PSA slabbed signed 1966 Topps Bob Allison card. I bought this one on eBay. I nice addition to my Twins Topps project.
