I received my final package of items from this past season today. Mike E (from Facebook) sent me three items that he got signed in Iowa or games related. I got:
Marek Houston OMLB with “1st Round 2025” (he was the Twins first round pick in the draft)
DeShawn Keirsey 2025 Topps #605
Jordan Balazovic 2024 Topps Heritage #680
Great stuff to close out the season!

Rippin’ It
I came across a post where Mike F of GOAT Sports Collectibles was selling a few magazines. I had most but a pair that really caught my eye that I needed was a pair of Sports Illustrated. One with Cal Ripken and one with Alex Rodriguez. I had the Cal Ripken issue but the CANADA version. I got that one signed years ago when Cal was doing a signing in the Twin Cities. This was the United States version from 12.18.1995. The A-Rod issue was from 07.08.1996. Both are authenticated by JSA.
Three’s A Charm!
Today’s mail brought three packages! The first was a baseball signed by Jacob Misiorowski that Alan M (alanmoore on SCN) got done during a private signing. I am waiting on a debut ticket in another package!
The next package contained 2021 Gypsy Queen Byron Buxton card which I bought form Wesley George.
And finally I received my Michael Busch ticket signed with MLB Debut. Donnie D (Macey225 on SCN) got it signed at a show in Chicago a couple weeks ago.
A nice mail day for sure!
A Load of Twins!
I stumbled upon a post of cards for sale on Facebook that Wesley George posted. Before looking further, I looked into him on SCN and there was a post that he is a legit seller. I then dug into the cards and found they are identical to a number of in person autographs I received for these players so I made a list. Today I received the third of three packages I bought from him. I could not be happier!
The cards I received are:
Jorge Polanco – 2024 Topps #67
Pablo Lopez – 2024 Topps #155
Jorge Alcala – 2024 Topps #US4
Ryan Jeffers – 2025 Topps #339
