Today I received two packages. The first one was the magazine I have been working on lately which Hal Smith signed it. For some reason I missed $0.65 postage on the package and he graciously added it. Even though I sent him a donation, I am going to mail him $1 for covering me tomorrow. It is going to be off to be signed by Bill Mazeroski next and it will be complete.
The other package was a baseball and a HOF postcard signed by Rickey Henderson. Tom O (orr23mj on SCN) had some left over items he had signed by Rickey and sold them at prices I could not pass up. I received each today and they look awesome.

72 Twins Team
Today I received a 1972 Twins team card I purchased from Chris P (Chris Potter Sports). Chris travels the country setting up private signings with former players. This particular card is signed by the following players:
Rick Dempsey
Phil Roof
Rick Renick
Bobby Darwin
Jim Holt
Jim Perry
This is a nice card to add to my collection!
The New Commish
Today I received a couple envelopes with autographed items in them. The first envelope I opened was a SASE I sent to the MLB office to get a pair of signed business cards from the new MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred. They look really cool! The other envelope was a pair of cards I bought from Joseph M (momo44 on SCN) which was a 2014 Topps Josmil Pinto card signed by Josmil and Chris Collabello and the other was a 2011 Bowman Chrome Oswaldo Arcia rookie card.
Meares
Today I received a Pat Meares card I bought from Chris P (rip8cp1 on SCN) via eBay. For some reason, Pat Meares cards are hard to come by and I need a few of them. When I saw Chris selling this one, I jumped on adding it to the collection. This card is the 1996 Topps. Interestingly, I will be receiving another card from Chris in a week or so that I paid for today.
