Bought – Page 54 – Graphin’ With Kevin

Oh Balls

Today I received my final package from Paul C in Florida until February. It was three prospects from players who finished up their season playing in the FL instruction league.
The three baseballs are:
Austin Meadows w/”Go Pirates”
Anderson Espinoza
Harold Ramirez
As always, Paul did a great job.

Another package I received was a 1979 Topps Twins Prospects card signed by Kevin Stanfield. Kevin’s autograph finished off the card as it was already signed by Sam Perlozzo and Rick Sofield. This is my second card signed by all three. Kevin signed the card via a private signing by Curtis C (curtisc on SCN) and was signed real nice.

A Pair of Twins

Today I got a couple baseball cards signed by Twins players for my Topps Twins project. The cards were signed while the Twins were in Kansas City a couple weeks ago. Dustin N (Royals_Chiefs on SCN) got Trevor Plouffe and Brian Duensing to sign their 2015 Topps cards. I was afraid if I waited, they might not be on the team next year and thus would not be at Twinsfest. They turned out great and are real nice cards.

Getting Miggy Wit It

Today I received a baseball that I bought that was signed by Miguel Cabrera. I already had one but at $100 for a beautiful one, I could not pass it up. Matt C (campy on SCN) has a connection with Miggy and offered ten baseballs for sale so I jumped on one. He sold out right away. Matt packaged it up perfectly and I could not be happier!

Odds & Ends

Today I received a package of a few items I bought from Jonathan M (dabulls on SCN) of things I did not have but thought they were cool. The first was a Jim Bunning HOF postcard. What I liked about this one was that it had HOF 96 on it and it was signed boldly in blue Sharpie across the top. Another item I bought was a Bob Feller 8×10 photo. Yes, I have about a zillion Bob Feller photos but this one is a pose I did not have. It is a picture of him flipping a baseball in the air. He signed it and then inside the baseball he wrote “HOF ’62”. I always liked that pose and am surprised I never got one signed before. Heck, I don’t even collect photos but I bought it on a whim. The last thing in the envelope was a signed umpire card of Rick Reed from the 2004 Bowman Heritage set. Rick is from the same fraternity I was/am a member of and I know my friend Shane would love this card so when I saw it, I had to get it for him. He doesn’t read this so it won’t ruin anything but I plan on sending the card to him. He will get a kick out of it.
