Today I received a pair of Joe Mauer Topps Heritage cards I bought from Matt W (invctrl on SCN). Matt got me a bunch of cards signed on consignment the last couple years during spring training and these Mauer cards were signed this spring training in Ft Myers. The cards I bought were:
2011 Topps Heritage #250
2012 Topps Heritage #186
I cannot wait to send Matt more cards for spring training 2015!

That’s Just The Ticket!
Today I received a couple packages of signed items. The first one I went through was from Vinnie M (vinniemiller on SCN) who I sent some items for when the Twins went through his town. The items he got signed for me was:
2014 Topps Kevin Correia
Caleb Thielbar 1st ML Win ticket
Samuel Deduno 1st ML Win ticket
Eric Fryer 1st ML Home Run ticket
They all turned out great.
The other package contained a pair of cards I bought from Tom O (orr23mj on SCN). They were both 1964 Topps Twins cards. One was Zoilo Versalles and the other was an upgrade for my Jerry Zimmerman card. I am pleased with both.
Lucky Seven!
Today I received seven baseballs of prospects and first round draft picks from my man Paul C. I give Paul a list of guys I want from AA teams in Florida and he gets them signed for me more times than not. Today I received the following beautiful blue ink sweetspot baseballs:
JP Crawford – Phillies
Aaron Nola – Phillies w/”2014 1st Round Pick”
Michael Chavis – Red Sox w/”2014 1st Round Pick”
Gregory Bird – Yankees
Angelo Gumbs – Yankees
Eric Jagielo – Yankees w/”2013 1st Round”
Aaron Judge – Yankees w/”2013 1st Rd Pick”
Yet again Paul comes through big time!
Futures Stars!
Today was a great mail day. I received three baseballs I purchased from Kent B (doggle3 on SCN) who I have purchased quite a bit from both already signed and via consignments. Kent was up for the All Star festivities and got some autographs and made them available. I received:
Joey Gallo w/”Futures Game MVP”
Julio Urias
Corey Seager
As always, Kent does an awesome job.
I also received a baseball signed by Dr James Andrews. I sent it to him on 04.09.2014. He signed it “To Kevin”/Dr Jim Andrews. Interesting he signed his first name Jim. Thanks Dr Andrews!
