I reached out to Mark Cooper via SCN (psugator1 on SCN) when he posted he had some success at Twins spring training getting a couple autographs. I asked which he got and it turned out that he got a Byron Buxton card signed that I need. I bought it and it showed up today. I added the 2019 Allen & Ginter #263 to my collection!

A #1 Pick!
Paul Skenes was the number one overall pick in the 2023 MLB draft. Legends Memorablia/Major League Alumni Marketing announced a signing with him so I bought a ball. This is probably the best way to get an item as it has the MLB hologram on it and you are acquiring it right from the source. My ball arrived today and is a great addition to the collection!
A Triple Play
When I saw a Facebook post by John Wilkey showing a bunch of Twins cards, I was skeptical because in just about every post like this I have every Twins card listed. This time I was excited to find the following:
2020 Topps Heritage #74 Lewis Thorpe
2020 Topps #US-180 Ben Rortvedt
2019 Bowman Paper Matt Wallner #BD6
I did not need the Wallner for my set but since it was a nicely signed 1st Bowman card, I picked it up too.
What is cool about the other two is that they are the last two I needed for each of the two players!
Wisler-ing Dixie
I recently purchased a card from Cam G on a Facebook group and was pleased with it. When he listed a few other in person cards I saw he had a Matt Wisler 2020 Topps Heritage #657 that I needed. It arrived today. Another awesome card to knock off the need list!
