Yes. Today is Columbus Day and no mail service but my mail carrier showed up this morning with a signature request for my second Joe Mauer package from FanHQ’s private signing! I excitedly signed for the package and ripped it open! Inside were the following items:
HOF Logo baseball signed under the logo
HOF Logo baseball signed under the logo with HOF 2024
HOF postcard I picked up and got stamped in Cooperstown during induction weekend with HOF 2024
My actual HOF induction ticket that I got stamped (I hope to someday get the other three inductees on the ticket to sign it)
I am really excited to see my third package that should arrive tomorrow! You won’t want to miss that one!

Joe HOF Package #1
FanHQ does an awesome job on the guests they have in for signing events. That is why I had no hesitation to send in a bunch of Joe Mauer items for Joe’s first signing post HOF induction. I actually sent in three different package and received notification that all three shipped. What is ironic is that it looks like each of the three packages will arrive on three consecutive mail days!
Today’s package included the last of the three I sent in. This involved a baseball that has his HOF induction logo on it. It is really cool and I had a fun time tracking these baseballs down at the ballpark with my brother. Joe signed it beautifully under the logo and included HOF 2024. Can’t wait for the other two packages to arrive!
A Quadfecta
In what is probably the final package of the season (unless he hits a couple more this last week), Chris L (ChrisL999 on SCN) hooked me up with a pair of baseballs and a pair of cards for the collection.
The baseballs are signed by:
Ethan Anderson
Vance Honeycutt
The cards are:
Gio Urshela 2022 Topps#US130
Carlos Correa 2024 Topps #155
It has been a fantastic season of items Chris got me for my collection. There could be one more biggie. Stay tuned!
From Prospects to Superstars
If you have following along with my collecting journey you have heard about Chris L (ChrisL999 on SCN) many times. Chris gets me autographs like crazy out in the Washington DC area and takes care of my items as his own.
Today I received a nice box of items from him he got signed since my last box of items he sent me. These all look awesome and I love following along with these guys as they progress through the minor leagues up to become Major Leaguers.
The package today included:
Carson Spiers OMLB
Seaver King OMLB
Franklin Arias OMLB
Rece Hinds OMLB
Chase Dollander OMLB
Sterlin Thompson OMLB
Cooper Pratt OMLB
Yophery Rodriguez OMLB
Patrick Reilly OMLB
Caleb Lomavita OMLB
Andres Chapparo OMLB
Josh Knoth OMLB
James Wood MLB Debut ticket
Lucas Sims MLB Debut ticket
Hunter Greene MLB Debut ticket
Donovan Solano 23 Topps
Donovan Solano 23 Topps Heritage
The Solano cards help with my Topps Twins collection and the tickets fit in perfectly. And, follow the names on the baseballs. Some will be household names in a few years. Thanks for all you do Chris!
