One in the Busch

Today was a fun day! I received a 2009 Topps update Brian Buscher card from him. What makes this really cool is that it was the last card I needed to complete the Twins team set of cards for that year. Pat Neshek has been able to contact a number of former players who agreed to reply to their mail for a small fee and Buscher was one of them. In my note, I wrote that his card was the final card I needed to complete my 2009 team set and he wrote a note apologizing one being the last one! Pretty neat return today!

Great Mail Day!

Today I received a pair of packages. The first had a pair of Jaime Jarrin Legendary Voices signature cards in it. Both were signed in blue ink and one smeared a little but the other was perfect!
The other package was a box from Chris L (ChrisL999 on SCN). Chris did an awesome job with the Cincinnati Reds when they visited the Nationals. Chris got Eugenio Suarez, Luis Castillo, and the latest phenom in baseball, Aristides Aquino. I am so excited to add these to the collection! If that was not enough, Chris was able to get the last Brian Dozier card I needed signed. Chris banged out the remaining Dozier cards this season so I was able to close the book on Dozier cards I needed for the Twins project. THANK YOU CHRIS!!!

Ring My Bell

Today I received an envelope I sent out just eight days ago! I had a ticket and a card I brought to the Twins Hall of Fame breakfast but Jerry Bell did not attend the autograph signing event. I sent them to him with a note asking for a business card if he had one still (he is now retired). Today I received the ticket (from when the Governor signed the bill for Target Field), a Target Field 2019 Topps series 2 card, and a business card all signed by Jerry Bell. These are pretty neat items in the collection!
