A quick one was received today. Rod Carew showed up in the 2024 Allen & Ginter set. As soon as I received the card I sent it in to the Tom O (orr23mj on SCN) signing and it showed up today. It is #235 and signed in blue perfectly!

Schoop Up That Ball!
Jonathan Schoop was a second baseman for the Twins for one season but was part of a few cool moments including two triple plays. Five Tool Signings had a private signing with Schoop and I sent in a number of cards and tickets. The package was lost in the mail on the way back to me and ended up RTS with no reason. Thankfully it arrived today and everything looks great. The items I got signed by Schoop include:
07.22.2019 Ticket already signed and inscribed “Triple Play” by Luis Arraez

Farming Away
Jack Greene (JackGreene on SCN) had a signing with Kyle Farmer to raise money for Hurricane Helene victims for a reasonable price so I sent in five cards. I received them today signed beautifully. The cards are:

4.7.23 Topps Now #68 #09/25

Twins Legends
Kent Hrbek and Tom Kelly. Two names you cannot hear and not think about the Twins and legends. Both have their numbers retired. Both were involved with the 1987 and 1991 World Champ teams. Today I received an envelope from each. Tom Kelly’s contained a ticket from 07.11.1975 from when the Twins played the Yankees at Shea Stadium. TK signed it with “Final MLB Game”. It is beautiful. Another gorgeous item was the new 2024 Allen & Ginter Kent Hrbek #347 card that Hrbie signed in perfect blue Sharpie. Both items are perfect for my collection!
