Just The Ticket!

Today I receive a pair of packages on the mail from some items I sent out to people to get signed for me.  The first package was some tickets from Steve S (cosmo on SCN).  Steve went to the Boston Red Sox Winter Weekend and got me the following tickets signed:
Blake Swihart w/”MLB Debut”
Xander Bogaerts w/”MLB Debut”
Henry Owens w/”MLB Debuet”  [sic]
Rusney Castillo
They all look awesome!  Thanks Steve!

I also received a package I sent to Joe M (probowler on SCN) for when the Twins Caravan went to his town.  I was unsure if the schedule would work out for Twinsfest for me to get Glen Perkins on all the items I needed so I sent him a couple cards as well as a card for Kyle Gibson.  He got me the following:
Glen Perkins 2015 Topps Update #US141
Glen Perkins 2015 Topps Heritage #416
Kyle Gibson 2015 Topps #632
These cards turned out awesome too!  Thanks Joe!

Kyle Schwarber!

Today I finally had a chance to meet up with Nick K.  Nick and his father get autographs at hotels before and after baseball games.  I have gotten a couple autographs from Nick in the past.  Back when the Cubs were in town he got a pair of baseballs signed by Kyle Schwarber.  Kyle is going to be a stud for the Cubs and when he offered me one, I could not pass it up.  That was about six months ago.  Nick lives in Woodbury and is a student at the U of M so meeting up was challenging as he lives in Dinkytown.  He was home for break and it worked out to meet with him today.  The baseball is beautiful and I look forward to seeing who he can get next baseball season!

I’m Dreaming of a (Rondell) White Christmas!

Today I received three cards signed by Rondell White. Rondell has been an elusive signer for me. I tried two other consignments before Mark C (psugator01 on SCN) came through for me. Mark got Rondell to sign the following cards for me:
2006 Topps 576
2006 Topps 647 (already signed by Lew Ford)
2007 Topps 543
I now can close the book on my Rondell White needs! Thanks Mark!

Redsfest

Today I received a box with a couple items I had sent to Matt P (mpgobrowns on SCN) to get signed at Redsfest.  He did a great job!  Matt got a baseball signed by Devin Mesoraco and two tickets signed by Rasiel Iglesias.  Both tickets were from his ML Debut.  He signed one with MLB Debut and the other with just MLB before his handler said no inscriptions.  They look great.  Thanks Matt!
