Today’s mail had a pair of items showing up for the collection! Michael McCarthy posted a couple items for sale in a Facebook group and I was quick enough to get them! I got a 2021 Topps #104 Kenta Maeda card and a Kim Ng (first female general manager) Miami Marlins signed business card!
A couple cool things today!

Frick’n Awesome! Part II
Today I received a pair of Ford Frick Hall of Fame postcards signed by Dave Van Horne. A friend of mine told me I should send Ford Frick postcards to recipients of the Ford Frick award and I thought that was a great idea. Mr Van Horne also returned my donation as well as included a signed business card!
It’s Killer Rob!
I was going through my signed business cards a week or so ago and noticed the one I had for my buddy Rob was from the Metrodome days. I emailed him and told him I needed to upgrade to a Target Field one. I figured I would get one next time I saw him. Well, today he surprised me with a signed business card. He even inscribed it with “0 Hits” (although that is not the case as he provided me a number of hits over the years). What makes this card really, really cool is that he signed it with a marker that Harmon Killebrew gave to him after he assisted at Twinsfest or the Autograph Party or some event like that. When Harmon was done signing he gave his marker (a Steadtler F point blue) to Rob and he has kept it all these years and used it to sign the card. THAT is pretty Killer!
In A Haze(n)
Today I received a pair of packages in the mail. The first was a pair of signed business cards from Mike Hazen. Mike is the GM for the Arizona Diamondbacks.
The other package came from Chad L (TheChad on SCN). Chad has hooked me up over the last couple years with Twins autographs from Rochester, NY where the AAA team is. This package has the following cards signed beautifully in blue:
2019 Topps Trevor Hildenberger
2019 Topps Ronald Torreyes
2019 Topps Now Future Jake Cave ROY
Thanks Chad for your help this season!
