Today’s mail brought in my final package from Spring Training. This one from AZ. Chris S (CSmith21 on SCN) posted he would work on autographs for people in AZ so I tried him out. I am not disappointed! Chris hooked me up with the following:
Wyatt Langford MLB Debut ticket
Josh Jung MLB Debut ticket
Jack Leiter MLB Debut ticket
Travis D’Arnaud Debut ticket with “Debut”
Pierson Ohl Debut ticket with “MLB Debut”
Tyler Mahle 2023 Topps Heritage #449

Lamonte Wade Jr 2020 Topps #495
Willi Castro 2024 Topps Heritage #608 & 2025 Topps Heritage #73

I cannot wait to have Chris chase more autographs for me next spring!!!

Another Florida Spring Package!
I connected with Matt H (mattyice on SCN) a handful of years ago on SportsCollectors.net. Matt lives in Fort Myers and gets to a lot of Red Sox and Twins games during the spring and spends a lot of time chasing autographs for me. Today I received the package of his efforts this spring! Inside was:
Royce Lewis – 2024 Topps Heritage #577, 2025 Topps Heritage #138, 2025 Allen & Ginter #221
Brooks Lee – 08.17.2025 Topps Now #568
Ryan Jeffers – 2024 Topps Heritage #635, 2025 Topps Heritage #424, 07.28.2021 Topps Now #566, 07.23.2023 Topps Now #609
Gio Urshela – 2022 Topps Heritage #635
Michael Taylor – 2023 Topps #374

These are all awesome additions to my collection and I really appreciate Matt’s help over the years. I hope to get to Florida for some spring training games and chase autographs with Matt in spring 2027 as long as there isn’t a lockout.
The Buck Stops Here!
Today’s mail brought my first two packages from spring training. And in it was a couple Byron Buxton signed cards as well as a Chris Paddack.
Robbie L (robbielee on SCN) got Buck to sign his 2025 Topps Heritage #282 and Chris Paddack to sign his 2025 Topps #US73.
Jim Lowery posted some cards he got signed in a Facebook collecting group and I was able to acquire Buxton’s 2024 Allen & Ginter #98 card.
All three cards are great and I look forward to additional spring training mail coming in soon!
Houston, We Do Not Have A Problem!
I received my final package of items from this past season today. Mike E (from Facebook) sent me three items that he got signed in Iowa or games related. I got:
Marek Houston OMLB with “1st Round 2025” (he was the Twins first round pick in the draft)
DeShawn Keirsey 2025 Topps #605
Jordan Balazovic 2024 Topps Heritage #680
Great stuff to close out the season!
