I recently signed up for Mile High Card Company’s auctions when they had a lot of older Twins ticket stubs for sale. I did not win it but the next auction that rolled around had a 1969 Topps card I needed for my collection. I won a PSA encapsulated Jerry Crider card. I received it today.
Also in the mail was a business card signed by Brodie Van Wagenan. Brodie is the EVP & GM for the Mets.

My Toe!
Today I received a 2019 Topps card signed by Ronald Torreyes. I bought this card from Kevin H (JustCrazy on SCN) who got it signed this season. I am pleased to have knocked this one off my need list!
Trifecta!
Today I received three packages in the mail. Two contained autographed items and one had a game used baseball I won in an MLB/Twins auction.
The first package contained seven baseballs and two Brian Dozier cards. Chris L (ChrisL999 on SCN) killed it for me the last couple weeks. He got me beautifully signed baseballs from:
Jackson Rutledge
Braden Shewmake
Shea Langeliers
Josh Jung
Cole Winn
Mike Soroka
Cody Bellinger
and the cards by Dozier were 2017 Topps 543 and 2018 Topps Now Opening Day
The next item I opened was an envelope which contained the ticket from Tyler Robertson’s ML Debut game. He signed it and included a nice note how awesome it was to see the ticket.
The final item was a game used baseball which was from Cody Stashak’s ML Debut game. It was a Luke Voit single but more importantly for me it was Cody’s third career strikeout baseball. I hope to get it signed in the near future.
My Bud?
Today I received a book I purchased from Barnes & Noble that was already signed by the author. While I have some signed books, I do not actively acquire books that are autographed but when I saw Bud Selig had a book coming out that I would read anyway, I thought I would at least get a signed version. It is a signed, first edition, instance of his “For the Good of the Game” book. I look forward to reading it. Selig signed it with “HOF 2017” even!
