Today’s mail brought in five signed 2012 Topps Twins cards. I bought them from Bryan S (bryangoreds on SCN) who got them signed when the Twins were in Cincinnati back in June. Nice to get a decent dent in the current years’ cards!

Double Your Pleasure!
Today I received a couple items I sent out a little bit ago. First was a card signed by Carlos Gomez. Carlos did a private signing at Waukesha Sportscards on July 14th and Mark G (hofcs on SCN) worked out a bulk discount deal and I was able to get the remaining card I needed for my collection signed by Carlos. It was a 2009 Topps Heritage card.
I also received a baseball I sent to Ken Aspromonte back on 7/2/2012. Ken was the manager for one of the teams involved in the 10 Cent Beer Night promotion. After I got a cool Story Ball response from Joe Tait on the event, I thought it would be neat to get a manager’s viewpoint. Today I got it back! He even returned my donation and my pen.
Thanks Mate!
Today I received a card from Liam Hendriks that I sent to Target Field back on 5/7/2012. Since then, Liam was sent to AAA Rochester Red Wings where my friend Jon got the same card signed for me. It is a 2012 Topps Heritage Rookies card and is pretty sharp looking.
Hummel & Carew
I am sure back in the day Rick Hummel wrote about Rod Carew at some point. Today they were reunited once again.
I received another addition to my baseball collection from Rick Hummel. He signed the baseball on the sweetspot and included the requested inscription “2006 HOF- J. G. Taylor Spink Award”. Nice ball to add to the collection!
I also received a card I needed for my Topps Twins collection. I bought the 1974 Topps All Star card signed by Rod Carew. Another card down!
