I have been looking for an autograph of Felix Jorge for a while. I need him on a couple cards. Someone posted on a Facebook group that they were breaking up a number of Topps Heritage sets and to post if anyone needed any. I posted I Needed the 2018 Rookie Stars card with Zach Granite and Felix Jorge but I would be happy with just Felix Jorge to have signed it. While the person who posted did not have one, Lance Dare did have one. He got it after chasing Felix around the Reds Spring Training complex the one year he was there. Since then, Felix has been a ghost not showing up on any team roster or any place. I am guessing he went back home to the Dominican Republic and I will have to wait until someone sets up a signing there for my debut ticket and other card. Today I received the 2018 Rookie Stars #99 card signed by Felix Jorge and could not be happier!

The Puck Stops Here
Today I received a 1992 Topps #575 card of Kirby Puckett signed in blue. I already had one signed in the collection but this card is a stunner and and upgrade to the one I have. Lee Sadowski used to be a sports card dealer in MN back in the day and listed this card as one he got signed at Twinsfest years ago. I am excited to add this to my collection!
A Pair of Heritage
Today I received a pair of 2020 Topps Heritage Twins cards signed by Mitch Garver and the other by Alex Avila.
I purchased the Avila from Chris Senn (who I purchased the Cron a week or so ago from) and the Garver came from Michael McCarthy. Both of these were via Facebook posts.
Not Petty In The Least
Today I received a couple items that made me smile. The first was a baseball I bought from Doug Tracy from Authentic Autographs of Southwest Florida that was signed by Chase Petty. Chase included “2021 1st Rd Pick” on it too!
The other item was something I have been trying to track down for a while. Fred Manrique played a short time for the Twins. I had a single hole in my 1990 living player needs and with the 66T card showing up today, I am down to needing just Kirby Puckett to complete the Twins team set. PastPros met up with Manrique and got him to sign some cards and listed them for sale on their website. I was pretty excited when I saw this one listed for sale!
