Today I received a pair of packages. The first had a pair of Jaime Jarrin Legendary Voices signature cards in it. Both were signed in blue ink and one smeared a little but the other was perfect!
The other package was a box from Chris L (ChrisL999 on SCN). Chris did an awesome job with the Cincinnati Reds when they visited the Nationals. Chris got Eugenio Suarez, Luis Castillo, and the latest phenom in baseball, Aristides Aquino. I am so excited to add these to the collection! If that was not enough, Chris was able to get the last Brian Dozier card I needed signed. Chris banged out the remaining Dozier cards this season so I was able to close the book on Dozier cards I needed for the Twins project. THANK YOU CHRIS!!!

Trifecta!
Today I received three packages in the mail. Two contained autographed items and one had a game used baseball I won in an MLB/Twins auction.
The first package contained seven baseballs and two Brian Dozier cards. Chris L (ChrisL999 on SCN) killed it for me the last couple weeks. He got me beautifully signed baseballs from:
Jackson Rutledge
Braden Shewmake
Shea Langeliers
Josh Jung
Cole Winn
Mike Soroka
Cody Bellinger
and the cards by Dozier were 2017 Topps 543 and 2018 Topps Now Opening Day
The next item I opened was an envelope which contained the ticket from Tyler Robertson’s ML Debut game. He signed it and included a nice note how awesome it was to see the ticket.
The final item was a game used baseball which was from Cody Stashak’s ML Debut game. It was a Luke Voit single but more importantly for me it was Cody’s third career strikeout baseball. I hope to get it signed in the near future.
Holy Twins!
Today I received a couple items in the mail. The first was one of the most exciting packages I have ever received. Matt C (campy on SCN) knows a guy who is close to some of the Twins players and had listed some cards for sale. I bought a couple and mentioned I could use other Sano cards signed. He replied back with a couple players his contact is close with so I sent him the cards. I received them today. WOW! What a haul and all are beautifully signed! The cards are:

Philling Me With Happy
Today I received another Sports Illustrated signed by Rhys Hoskins, Aaron Nola, and JT Realmuto that was facilitated by Pat Neshek. When I received my first SI, I noticed the red printing was off a little and it looked a little weird. Also, Pat started offering BAS authentication and I thought it would be cool to have that on it as well so I sent an other issue. Pat is doing collectors a huge service my facilitating getting autographs from his teammates. Thanks Pat!
Also arriving today was a pair of baseball cards that have been to a couple different people with Robert A (elpasodiablos on SCN) finally getting them signed for me! Pat Dean was with the Twins a couple years ago and then went to Korea to play baseball and is back in the States playing for the Albuquerque Isotopes (Rockies AAA team) and they recently visited El Paso where Robert got them signed for me. The cards are:
2016 Topps Heritage
2016 Topps
Thanks Robert!
