On April 5th, I purchased a signed Chris Paddack ML Debut signed ticket from Gabriel Magana. Two days later Chris was traded to the Twins! The following day I cheered for him during the player introductions when he was announced. Today the ticket arrived! Pretty fun little item for the collection!

Yu Got It!
I noticed that Chris S (Cali Graphz on Facebook) was really doing well with AZ spring training autographs. I have wanted a Yu Darvish autograph for a while and Chris had one available. He also had a Jarred Kelenic signed baseball that he got in spring training available. I wanted both and was able to purchase them. They arrived today and are beautiful baseballs that I am excited to add to my collection!
A Pair of Heritage Twins
Today’s mail brought in a pair of 2021 Topps Heritage cards that were signed in spring training. W R George (Brian Clapper on Facebook) got these signed and sent them to me. They are:
Brent Rooker #511
Alex Kirilloff #546
Nice cards signed in blue Sharpie and look great!
HOF Postcards
I recently saw a post on a Facebook autograph collecting group where David McNaughton listed a bunch of Hall of Fame postcards he had available. I have dabbled in these postcards for a while but thought it might be a good time to jump in on these and pick up a bunch of older ones I needed. I ended up working out a deal for the following:
Earl Averill
James “Cool Papa” Bell
Stan Coveleski (red Dexter)
Joe Cronin
Bill Dickey
Charles Gehringer
Burleigh Grimes
Jim “Catfish” Hunter
Waite Hoyt (blue Dexter)
Judy Johnson
Buck Leonard
Freddie Lindstom
Rube Marquard
Pee Wee Reese
Edd Roush (red Dexter)
Lloyd Waner
This put a nice dent in my needs!
