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!

Robbie & Todd
I purchased a couple baseballs recently and received them today. Both were done with tremendous service and the balls look perfect!
The first was a TriStar certified Roberto Alomar ball with HOF 2011 that I purchased from Mill Creek Sports. I have bought from them before and have always been pleased.
The other ball was for Todd Frazier of the Cincinnati Reds. He does not sign on the sweetspots except during signings. I found that Richard Altman at Hollywood Collectibles was doing a private signing with him. I realized it too close to the date of the event so I called and requested one of their baseballs. Their service is top notch and the ball is beautiful.
The Big Hurt and Jamey
Today I received a couple items and am thrilled with them.
The first package I opened contained a beautiful Frank Thomas autographed baseball with his two MVP years inscribed. The Big Hurt always hammered on the Twins including hitting his 500th career home run against them. I had a ball signed by him but it was not of great quality. This one is awesome. I purchased this from Isaias F (franco858 on SCN).
The other item was an sase I sent to Jamey Carroll at Target Field. He signed one of the two I sent but picked the one I really wanted, the 2013 Topps Heritage.
I am looking forward to another great mail day like this soon!
A Couple Purchases…
Today I received a couple baseball things I recently purchased. I am pleased to add an Addison Russell signed baseball. Addison is a highly rated prospect in baseball and I purchased this beauty from Scott M (35kd on SCN).
I also received a PSA slabbed signed 1966 Topps Bob Allison card. I bought this one on eBay. I nice addition to my Twins Topps project.
