The Buck Stops Here!

Today’s mail brought my first two packages from spring training. And in it was a couple Byron Buxton signed cards as well as a Chris Paddack.
Robbie L (robbielee on SCN) got Buck to sign his 2025 Topps Heritage #282 and Chris Paddack to sign his 2025 Topps #US73.
Jim Lowery posted some cards he got signed in a Facebook collecting group and I was able to acquire Buxton’s 2024 Allen & Ginter #98 card.
All three cards are great and I look forward to additional spring training mail coming in soon!

A Trio Of Twins

A lot of people are posting the autographs they acquired during spring training for sale this time of year. I found a seller, Evan Deutscher, who posted a bunch of cards and discovered I needed a trio for my Twins collection. They arrived today! They are:
Griffin Jax – 2025 Topps Heritage #474
Jhoan Duran – 2025 Topps Heritage #74
Jose Berrios – 2020 Topps #124
I am excited to knock off a few more for my Twins sets!

The Lip

I recently came across a post in a Facebook collecting group where Richard Stevens posted having some old baseballs he had recently acquired in a collection purchase. One of the baseballs was Leo Durocher and was for sale. I have wanted a Durocher ball for some time and this opportunity was too good to pass up. I received it today. It is signed real nice and bold in blue ink on the sweetspot. the ball is evenly toned which is common in old baseballs. This one is a Charles Feeney National League ball. I am super excited to add this to my Hall of Famer collection!
