Today I received a pair of signed items and both were from Hall of Famers. The first was my HOF Postcard I sent to Bud Selig. It game back all bubbled. Pretty disappointing. I guess I did not prep it well enough.
The second package made up for it though. I had sent four cards I needed signed by Rod Carew for my Twins card sets to David G (FinFan1972 on SCN) who attended a signing he was at. The cards David got signed for me are:
2016 Topps Now 248
2016 Gypsy Queen 328
2017 Allen & Ginter 79
2017 Gypsy Queen 315
I now have all Carew Twins cards made by Topps, Gypsy Queen, Allen & Ginter, and Topps Now.

Major League Hunter
Today I received a pair of packages of items for the collection. You may remember that I got a 5″x7″ Major League card signed by Charlie Sheen when he was in town and bought a Chelcie Ross one. Today I got a pair from the set that Chris R (rifon on SCN) got signed at a recent signing event for Tom Berenger and Corbin Bernsen. That leaves just two cards I need to finish the set. Unfortunately once has passed away. I will work on finding that one!
The other package had a 2015 Allen & Ginter #195 Torii Hunter card that Zachary C (clarkzac on SCN) got at the Twins Hall of Fame breakfast event. I am excited to knock that one off the need list.
Great Balls of Fire!
Today I received a cool package of baseballs from Chris L (ChrisL999 on SCN) who got them signed throughout the season when the teams visited the Washington, DC area. All the baseballs were signed BEAUTIFULLY. I could not be happier!
The players Chris got for me are:
Jonathan Lucroy
Tanner Roark
Antonio Senzatela
Jon Gray
Scooter Gennett
Adam Duvall
Thanks for all your efforts Chris! GREAT JOB!!!

11.09.2015 Sports Illustrated that was already signed by a couple Royals. Vinnie added Alex Gordon, Jerrod Dyson, and Mike Moustakas! I now have five autographs on it! Thanks for all the fine work Vinnie!
