Today I received a couple packages with cards I needed for my Twins card sets. The first was a 2012 Allen & Ginter Ben Revere card. I got this card signed via a private signing at Carl’s Cards and Collectibles in Havertown, PA. The other was a package with a couple Kevin Slowey cards. Marc M (mesarosfamily on SCN) got these signed during Spring Training and we traded for a couple 1974 cards.

Oh Danny Boy
Today I received a package from Jim M who I found out also collects Twins autographs. I had sent him a few Twins cards he needed a while ago and we have been working out the details for a while. Today I added the following:
1974 Danny Thompson SGC slabbed
1995 Alex Cole Topps
1992 Pedro Munoz Topps
A Couple ‘Stros
A week or so ago I received an email from Nick K (royal21 on Neshek’s website) that he was going to work the Astros team this weekend and was wondering if I needed anyone. I have purchased from Nick before and he does a great job. He does hotels as well as the ballpark. I told him I could use Bud Norris and Chris Carter on baseballs and we worked out a deal. Yesterday I received an email that Norris got traded and if there was anyone else I was interested in so I included Lucas Harrell. Nick went to batting practice and got both players before the game for me. Today he stopped by and we traded. Door to door delivery and great autographs… you can’t beat that! He left with a couple Jason Giambi SI’s for the upcoming Indians visit. I wished him luck! Thanks Nick!
“Mega”zines!
Today I received the other end of a trade I recently made with Tim M (jmac25 on SCN). Tim runs SportsIllustratedIssues.com. I had a couple extra SI’s and asked him if he needed any. He picked out a real nice 1956 issue that I had signed by 4 players with the best being Stan Musial. He also needed a Greg Vaughn regional issue from 1998. I sent those two issues to him and in return, he sent me the following:
1970 Tigers issue signed by Denny McLain
1978 Yankees issue signed by Fred Stanley
1985 Royals issue signed by Hal McRae
1986 Mets issue signed by Ron Darling
2003 Angels issue signed by Ryan Budde and Steve Soliz
I am very pleased with the quality of the magazines and hope to trade with Tim again someday!
