Today’s mail brought a couple cards that I bought from Cole L (ColeL33 on SCN). They are:
2017 Eddie Rosario (I just noticed I already had)
1998 Pat Meares
The Meares is the last card I need to complete my Twins team set for 1998. Unfortunately I did not realize it was a limited version with a Hall of Fame foil stamp on it and I do not collect that version. HOWEVER, Cole had the regular issue available and I picked up that one just now. I should have it in a week and then that team set will be done!

Twins Welcome Back HOFers
Cami and I went to the Twins game tonight. It was a celebration of Jim Kaat and Tony Oliva and their welcome back from Cooperstown following their inductions into the Hall of Fame. The Twins offered a special package that included a pair of HOF baseball signed under the logos of Kaat and Oliva as well as a special bobblehead of each and the induction weekend program. It was all in a real nice box. I picked the one up I bought before the game and Cami and I enjoyed a Twins victory over the Blue Jays. Even though it rained for part of the game, we still had a blast.
La Tortuga
When Willians Astudillo was with the Twins, he was a true fan favorite. Most casual fans loved him. Today I got a 2019 Topps Heritage #120 signed from Chad L (TheChad on SCN). He had gotten an extra signed and offered it up on SCN and I grabbed it!
Wade-ing Away
Today’s mail brought in a LaMonte Wade Jr 2020 Topps Heritage #575 card. Chris Senn is a person who gets autographs in San Diego and had this card, among others, for sale. I am excited to add this card to my collection!
