Adventures in Autograph Collecting
Brian Kritz recently posted some older signed Sport magazines for sale on a Facebook group. I have purchased items from Brian in the past and he does a great job on things.
The package I received today included:
02.1952 Al Dark
05.1953 Bob Lemon
02.1955 Al Dark
05.1959 Hank Bauer @ 2
These guys all signed through the mail but I did not get into Sport magazines until after they passed away so it was real nice to be able to add these to my magazine collection.
I recently purchased a 2024 Topps Ryan Jeffers #344 card from Pete Lane via Facebook. It arrived today and helps me with the 2024 Twins team set!
Today’s mail brought in a fun pair of items. Jerry D, via a Facebook group, posted that his father used to work with Gaylord Perry and he had a number of burlap peanut bags from Gaylord’s peanut farm that were signed and he was offering them for sale. I purchased a pair and they arrived today. Pretty cool oddball item for the collection!
Kenta Maeda pitched for the Twins for a few years before leaving and going to the Tigers. He was hurt the last few seasons and did not sign much so trying to obtain his cards is a little more difficult than most. I found Matt F from Triple F Sports had one for sale and bought it. Today I received the 2023 Topps Heritage #536 to add to the collection!
