Cruz’in’

Today I received a couple packages in the mail. The first contained a bunch of cards signed by Nelson Cruz and Jose Berrios. Matt C (campy on SCN) hooked me up with the cards when the Twins visited Cleveland. He pretty much knocked out all my Nelson Cruz and Jose Berrios needs for the season. Except with Nelson hitting his 400th Career HR at the game yesterday so I have a few more already! The cards I got are:
Jose Berrios
2019 Allen & Ginter
2019 Topps Now Road to Opening Day
04.01.2018 Topps Now
06.07.2018 Topps Now
2018 Topps Now Players Weekend
Nelson Cruz
07.25.2019 Ticket from Twins at White Sox when Cruz hit 3 HRs

And a couple I bought from him from a previous Twins visit to Cleveland:
Miguel Sano
2019 Topps
2019 Topps Heritage
Jorge Polanco
2019 Topps
2019 Topps Heritage
These cards really put a nice dent into my Twins needs!

I also received a 2019 Topps Ervin Santana I bought from Mike P (SoxAutographs29 on SCN). Nice to get a former Twin on a recent card!

An Auction Win

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.

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.
