Some Twins
Today I received the first package from the few guys I trust who went to spring training. This package came from Fort Myers and had a bunch of Twins in it.

Those items are:
Ryan Jeffers – OMLB
Lewis Thorpe – 1st Win ticket with “First ML W”
Luis Arraez – Triple play ticket from 07.22.2019
Randy Dobnak – Ticket with “1st MLB Save”

Jake Cave – 2019 Gypsy Queen 156 & 2019 Topps Now Postseason
Jorge Polanco – 2019 Topps Now 4/5 & 2019 Topps Now 7/7 (said he remembered the play on the 7/7 card)
Marwin Gonzalez – 2019 Topps Heritage 553 & 2019 Topps Now Postseason
Max Kepler – 2019 Topps Now 7/21
Michael Pineda – 2019 Topps Heritage 662

Matt did a fantastic job on my items! Thanks Matt!
A Red Letter Cardinals Day!
Today I received a pair of packages and both are related to St Louis Cardinals!
The first was a pair of baseballs that I had sent to Tom Orr for Ted Simmons to sign. When they announced that Ted Simmons made the Hall of Fame, I realized I did not have any baseballs signed by him. Tom saved the day with a signing and I now have a pair of baseballs with one signed “Hall of Fame 2020” and the other “HOF 2020”. They are both signed beautifully!
The other package was three items that Derrick B (dlbiri1s on SCN) got signed for me at the Cardinals Winter Warm Up. The items I added to the collection include an Alex Reyes ML Debut ticket with “ML Debut”, my 10.10.2016 Sports Illustrated magazine that was already signed by Jake Arrieta is now signed by Dexter Fowler as well, and the last item was a ticket stub from the 1987 World Series Game 5 signed by Danny Cox. Danny included “WP” as he was the winning pitcher in the game. I got the ticket from my buddy Steve C who is a huge Cardinals fan and a great guy.
What a fun Cardinals mail day!
NOT A Baine In The A**
Today I received a couple items that are fun. The first was a Harold Baines HOF postcard I bought from Tom O (orr23mj on SCN) as part of a Christmas Sale. The second was an Aristides Aquino debut ticket that Jennifer G (jsg1984 on SCN) got signed during the Reds Fanfest. Aristides signed it with “MLB Debut” AND included “The Punisher” on his own. Pretty cool ticket!
