A couple months ago I purchased a Louie Varland card from Mike E who I connected with via a Facebook sale post. Mike just got back from a trip to Twins spring training and was able to get a bunch of cards, including some 2025 Topps, signed by the Twins. I was able to acquire the following from Mike:
2022 Topps Jorge Alcala #US201
2024 Topps Simeon Woods Richardson (Full name!) #US295
2024 Topps Jair Camargo #US314
2024 Topps Twin Pillars Byron Buxton #US289
2025 Topps Jorge Alcala #336
2025 Topps Willie Castro #155
2025 Topps Joe Ryan #40
2025 Topps Brooks Lee #317
2025 Topps Jose Miranda #310
2025 Topps Royce Lewis #59
I am excited to knock off some 2025 Topps already and look forward to working with Mike again soon when the AAA season kicks off. Mike is in Iowa and sees the Iowa Cubs, and visitors like the St Paul Saints.

A Jax Of All Trades
Jack G ( on SCN) did a signing for charity with Griffin Jax so I sent in my 2024 Topps card #US43. Today I received it back signed nicely in blue!
HaKenta Matata!
After not adding a needed Kenta Maeda card for over a year, I added two in a week! I purchased a 2022 Gypsy Queen #249 from James Daly via a Facebook group and it arrived today. Slowly knocking off a tough Twins player for my collection!
Maeda-iNg my Day!
Today’s mail had a pair of items showing up for the collection! Michael McCarthy posted a couple items for sale in a Facebook group and I was quick enough to get them! I got a 2021 Topps #104 Kenta Maeda card and a Kim Ng (first female general manager) Miami Marlins signed business card!
A couple cool things today!
