Doerr-ing It Right!

I have recently started getting into Baseball Digest magazines and getting them signed. I remember subscribing to the magazine for a few years when I was a kid and thought it would be cool to get some and get them signed. Unfortunately, that means I started late and a lot of players on the really cool, older issues have passed away. John H (88Harrison88 on SCN) posted that he had an issue from April, 1946 signed by Bobby Doerr for sale since it did not fit in his collection. I was excited to see that because the issue was in really good shape for its age and no mailing label. I bought it and it arrived today. I am pretty excited to add this to the collection!

Cele-brate

As previously mentioned here, I finally was able to wrap up my lists of the Twins cards I received from Spring Training. After that, I was able to regroup and check extra cards that people received in Spring Training and was able to get my hands on a couple. Today’s mail brought a 2022 Topps Heritage #630 Gilberto Celestino card signed during the spring. Robbie L (robbielee on SCN) got my a few items signed and had this as an extra so I grabbed it!

Larnach

I finally got a chance to update my website with all the autographs on Twins cards I got from spring training. Once I was organized, I went on SCN to look for others I was missing. What is tough is that due to COVID, Twinsfest was cancelled two years in a row and while I had a great Twinsfest this year, it really set me back missing those two years. I found that Rob G (Gris29 on SCN) had a 2022 Trevor Larnach #557 card available so I bought it. I found a couple others that should be arriving soon. It is good to knock off needs even if they are one or two at a time!
