Today I received a couple HOF postcards in the mail that I bought from Tom Orr (orr23mj on SCN). Tom had a signing with both Craig Biggio and Randy Johnson and these were signed then. The Biggio has Tristar certification and the Johnson has JSA Witness. I do not actively buy the HOF postcards but Tom offered them at a fair price so I picked them up.

Heeeeeeeeere’s Johnny!
Today I received a Sports Illustrated magazine I bought from Chris B (GoYanks52 on SCN). It was signed by Johnny Damon. The issue features three other Red Sox so I have a new project to work on!

Today I received a 2001 Topps Twins team card #768 that I purchased from Jonathan M (dabulls on SCN). It was signed by Johan Santana, JC Romero, Kyle Lohse, and one other I could not determine. I was in it for Johan. Since it is a glossy card, I was easily able to remove the other three autographs. This left me with a real nice Johan Santana signed team card for a $3 purchase! Not bad!
And you are…
Today I received a card I purchased from Stan P (stanesq on SCN). It was a 1997 Topps Chuck Knoblauch. Chuck has gone into hiding for the most part in recent years and if he does do a show it is a private signing with exorbitant prices. This card was signed beautifully by Chuck in blue Sharpie. It brought me back to the old bit on the KQ Morning Show when Check was interviewed. It went something like this:
Interviewer: “And you are…”
Chuck: “Chuck Knoblauch!”
Interviewer: “Chuck Knoblauch… Can’t thank you enough for all the time!”
That was the entire interview. Pretty funny.
