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!

Pedro & Plouffe

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!
