Great Scott!

Today I received a package from my friend Jon (Scott) and his son Tyler from Rochester, NY.  Jon and Tyler work the Red Wings and since most of the Twins players have been bouncing between there and Minneapolis, he has hooked me up with a lot of autographs for my Topps Twins collection. Today’s package included:
Cole DeVries 2013 Topps
Scott Diamond 2013 Topps
Liam Hendriks 2013 Topps
Chris Herrmann 2013 Topps
Chris Parmelee 2013 Topps
Aaron Hicks 2011 Topps Heritage Minor League
Nick Blackburn eTopps
Jon and Tyler do awesome work and they really take care of me.  Thanks guys!

Recently I was digging around my stuff and came across a couple postcards of Bobby Doerr that I sent to him.  I received those two back today as well.  One is an exhibit card and the other is the Perez Steele card.  Always nice to get a hall of famer!

Another Batch of Prospects

Today I received another batch of prospects from Paul C.  Today’s package included:
Hunter Harvey (with “2013 1st Rd”)
CJ Edwards (with “Go Cubs” since he was just traded to them)
Josh Hart (with “1st Round Pick”)
as well as a sweet Wilson Alvarez who inscribed “8.11.91 No Hitter” on the bottom panel and “3-31-98 First Rays Pitch” on the top.  As always, Paul does awesome work!

A Couple ‘Stros

A week or so ago I received an email from Nick K (royal21 on Neshek’s website) that he was going to work the Astros team this weekend and was wondering if I needed anyone.  I have purchased from Nick before and he does a great job.  He does hotels as well as the ballpark.  I told him I could use Bud Norris and Chris Carter on baseballs and we worked out a deal.  Yesterday I received an email that Norris got traded and if there was anyone else I was interested in so I included Lucas Harrell.  Nick went to batting practice and got both players before the game for me.  Today he stopped by and we traded.  Door to door delivery and great autographs… you can’t beat that!  He left with a couple Jason Giambi SI’s for the upcoming Indians visit.  I wished him luck!  Thanks Nick!

Magazine Day!

Today I received four autographed Sports Illustrated magazines acquired in various ways.

First, I purchased the 2013 Baseball Preview issue with “Big Game James” Shield on the cover from Jordan B (royalsFan19 on SCN).  Jordan is one of two guys who work the Royals and their opponents for me.  He does a great job!

Next I received a Jonny Gomes regional issue from right after the Boston Marathon bombing.  Jonny signed it via a signing with Scott Smith (SIKing).  Also in the envelope was a pair of autographed issues from 1980 US Hockey gold medalist Mike Eruzione.  Scott got Mike to sign the issue at Michael Jordan’s golf tournament in Lake Tahoe earlier this month.

All in all a nice day of SIs!
