Chris is the MAN!

I have really whittled down the list of guys who I trust getting me signed items of late. Not only the trust but people who care of my stuff as I do. Chris L (ChrisL999 on SCN) is one of those few. I received a box of stuff from the balance of the season that he worked for me. The challenges he overcomes and the effort he puts in on getting these autographs is appreciated! Today’s box included the following BEAUTIFULLY signed items:
Josiah Gray blue ink sweetspot baseball
Yadiel Hernandez blue ink sweetspot baseball
Nico Hoerner blue ink sweetspot baseball
Tres Barrera blue ink sweetspot baseball
Jazz Chisholm blue ink sweetspot baseball
Nick Yorke blue ink sweetspot baseball
Keibert Ruiz blue ink sweetspot baseball
Gilberto Jimenez blue ink sweetspot baseball
Brendan Rodgers 1st hit ticket
Ryne Harper 2019 Topps US226

I also received a pair of cards that Haley H (r0yals2012 on SCN) got signed for me. I had sent Haley a pair of 2021 Topps Twins team cards #156 to get signed by Aaron Whitefield. Whitefield is one of the three players pictured on the card and plays for the Wichita Storm Surge. One card turned out beautifully but the other the marker died. I am fine with it since I got one good one and is one of the reasons I send a pair when I can. Now I have to get Eddie Rosario and Jake Cave on that card to finish it!

Oh Balls!

Wow! What a box of baseballs I received from my pal Chris L (ChrisL999 on SCN)! Chris is a guy who loves chasing autographs more than collecting them so he and I are a great fit. I put full trust in Chris to figure which prospects and players are “worth” an official baseball (these are not cheap!). Today’s box included the following baseballs signed on the sweetspots in blue ink… just how I like them:
Anthony Volpe (Yankees top prospect)
Yandy Diaz
Josh Smith (another Yankees top prospect)
Sandy Alcantara
Brett Baty
Justin Turner
Trevor Rogers
This was a fun box to open and add these items to the collection!
