For Scher(zer)!

Today I received a nice package and had another dropped off. The package that was mailed to me had my 11.09.2015 Sports Illustrated in it. It now has six autographs on it with Luke Hochevar being added via a signing with Doug B (dugoutdug on SCN). Doug did a great job with it and getting back in the mail to me real fast.
My other item received today was from Nick K. Nick lives near me and goes to the hotel and ballpark chasing autographs. Earlier in the season he was able to get Willians Astudillo to sign his 2019 Topps Heritage card. When the Nationals were in town towards the end of the season he was able to get Max Scherzer(!) to sign the 04.28.2014 Sports Illustrated at the hotel. He said Max was a little tipsy and was willing to sign. He also got Brian Dozier to sign the ticket when he hit three home runs for me at the same time. I am REALLY excited to add Max on that SI to my collection. I have sent that issue to no less than five people to try to get it signed. Thanks for all your work Nick!

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!
