Today I received three, yes THREE, packages with autographs in them! What a fun mail day!
The first package was a HOF postcard signed by Trevor Hoffman that I bought from Steve S (cosmo on SCN). Steve has provided me a few items in the past and is one cool dude. He also included an early Kent Hrbek signed index card. Thanks Steve!
The second package was a pair of Shane Mack cards. FanHQ had a private signing with Shane last week and I had sent in my final two Mack cards I needed to complete my Twins team sets. These are 1990 Topps Traded #64T and 1994 Topps #337. Both were signed perfectly in blue Sharpie. Thanks Shaun and crew!
My final package was one I forgot about. I mailed a baseball to Dave Fleming via Oracle Park in San Francisco asking him to write his call from when the Giants beat the Tigers in the World Series. Not only did he sign the ball but he also included his call! I have a new baseball to add to The Call Ball Collection! Thanks Dave!
What a fun time opening these packages!

A Final Batch
Today I received a final batch of signed baseballs from Chris L (ChrisL999 on SCN). Chris did a great job this season getting me a lot of the top 100 prospects who played on the East Coast minor league teams. This package contained:
Tristan Casas w/”2018 1st Rnd Pick”
Greg Jones w/”2019 1st Rd”
Andrew Vaughn
Alec Bohm
Brailyn Marquez
I am excited to add these to my collection and cannot wait for next season so we can do this all over again! Thanks Chris!
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!!!
Trifecta!
Today I received three packages in the mail. Two contained autographed items and one had a game used baseball I won in an MLB/Twins auction.
The first package contained seven baseballs and two Brian Dozier cards. Chris L (ChrisL999 on SCN) killed it for me the last couple weeks. He got me beautifully signed baseballs from:
Jackson Rutledge
Braden Shewmake
Shea Langeliers
Josh Jung
Cole Winn
Mike Soroka
Cody Bellinger
and the cards by Dozier were 2017 Topps 543 and 2018 Topps Now Opening Day
The next item I opened was an envelope which contained the ticket from Tyler Robertson’s ML Debut game. He signed it and included a nice note how awesome it was to see the ticket.
The final item was a game used baseball which was from Cody Stashak’s ML Debut game. It was a Luke Voit single but more importantly for me it was Cody’s third career strikeout baseball. I hope to get it signed in the near future.
