I met Mike E via Facebook a year and a half or so ago. He helped my out with some minor league guys as well as some Twins during spring training. He has really helped me out this year! Today I received a package of some minor league guys with Rich Hill and Kenta Maeda being guys I really needed. I took these Rich Hill cards to a couple Twins games as well as my games a couple summers ago in Pittsburgh and had no luck getting them inked up. Mike was successful and did an awesome job for me with the Iowa Cubs and their visitors. Today’s awesome package includes:
Rich Hill – 2020 Topps #413
Rich Hill – 2020 Topps #U-111
Rich Hill – 2021 Topps Heritage #437
Kenta Maeda – 2020 Toipps #U-205
Kenta Maeda – 2022 Topps #622
John Gant – 2022 Topps #280
Every package I get from Mike is like Christmas morning!

I am really excited to add these to my collection and follow as they become superstars!
Twins and a HOFer!
I love mail on Mondays! There is usually extra mail that arrives due to the mail moving on the weekend. Today I received a pair of packages. The first was from Pat Gillick who signed my 2011 Baseball Hall of Fame yearbook. The second was from Mike E who lives in Iowa and was able to get me a bunch of Twins stuff signed when the St Paul Saints played the Iowa Cubs. Mike got me:
