Today I received a 1973 Topps #443 Danny Thompson signed card that I purchased from Mickey’s Sportscards. It is the last 1973 Topps Twins card I need for the signed set. I do need a couple coaches on the manager card but those won’t happen on the card I have because the coaches are deceased. At this point though, I have all the Twins cards with at least one signature on it. I am excited about that!

I Like Tuttles
Today I received a pair of cards I bought from Mickey’s Cards. One is a 1961 Bob Allison and the other is a 1963 Bill Tuttle. Tuttle was an upgrade.
Esky
Today I received a signed 2018 Topps Heritage Eduardo Escobar #538 from Kent B (doggle3 on SCN). Kent was selling it and it was the last Esky card I needed for the collection so I can close the book on him.
Three’s A Charm!
Today I received three, yes THREE, packages with autographs in them! What a fun mail day!
The first package was a HOF postcard signed by Trevor Hoffman that I bought from Steve S (cosmo on SCN). Steve has provided me a few items in the past and is one cool dude. He also included an early Kent Hrbek signed index card. Thanks Steve!
The second package was a pair of Shane Mack cards. FanHQ had a private signing with Shane last week and I had sent in my final two Mack cards I needed to complete my Twins team sets. These are 1990 Topps Traded #64T and 1994 Topps #337. Both were signed perfectly in blue Sharpie. Thanks Shaun and crew!
My final package was one I forgot about. I mailed a baseball to Dave Fleming via Oracle Park in San Francisco asking him to write his call from when the Giants beat the Tigers in the World Series. Not only did he sign the ball but he also included his call! I have a new baseball to add to The Call Ball Collection! Thanks Dave!
What a fun time opening these packages!
