Today I received a pair of signed business cards from Dr James Andrews. If you are a pitcher or a team you never want to hear Dr Andrews’ name mentioned with your name. That means you probably need Tommy John surgery. Dr Andrews is the leading expert on Tommy John surgery after learning from the pioneer, Dr Frank Jobe.

Chek It Out
Today I received a pair of signed business cards from Dr David Altchek. He and Dr James Andrews are a pair of the leaders in performing Tommy John surgeries on baseball players. He signed the back of each card for me.
Catch Me If You Can
Recently I sent a signature card to Frank Abagnale so I could add his autograph to my collection. Frank’s early life was loosely the subject based on the movie Catch Me If You Can. He is now a security specialist and consults on fraud, etc. I thought it would be cool to add his signature to my collection so I mailed him. Today I received a signed business card back. It is neat to see the security examples on the business card. It is pretty unique and I am very excited to add it to my autograph collection. Thanks Frank!
Three’s A Charm!
Today was a fun mail day! I received three packages today of a couple items I bought and a nice surprise from a Twin!
The first package was the ticket from Luis Severino that I bought from Dustin K (bigvig56 on SCN) from the same event he got my baseball signed. This is a ticket from Luis’ ML Debut and has the inscription. It has a Steiner hologram on the back and a plastic card.
The next package I opened was from Kevin M (mrmain18 on SCN) and had two cards he got signed by John Smiley at an event in Pittsburgh. Kevin got my only two cards I needed signed by John after multiple attempts to get them signed or buy them from others. John has a ghost signer at the address he is widely known to have. I even purchased a couple from reputable sellers in the past which ended up being ghost signed as well. I am happy to FINALLY be able to mark Smiley’s cards off my need list!
My final envelope I hoped was an SASE I sent to Terry Ryan at Target Field. He graciously signed the 2015 Topps Twins team card I sent and included a pair of his signed business cards that I also requested. These items reminded me about the time I chatted with Mr Ryan at a Twinsfest event. It was a highlight of that Twinsfest for me and these items made me think of that time.
Thanks Dustin, Kevin, and Mr Ryan for making my mail day extra fun today!
