Spring Has Sprung!
I love this time of year. The snow is (usually) gone, spring training is over and the regular season about to begin and I start receiving the signed items from spring training!
Today I received two of the three packages of autographed cards I am expecting. It was so fun to mark these cards off my need list!
The first package came from Brian P (ka0grp on SCN). Those signed items included:
Carlos Correa- 2023 Allen & Ginter #47
Kyle Gibson- 2019 Topps #597
Griffen Jax- 2023 Topps #595
Joey Gallo- 2023 Topps #604
Max Kepler- 2023 Topps Heritage #217
Max Kepler- 2020 Allen & Ginter #243
The other package came from Robbie L (robbielee on SCN). Those signed items included:

I could not be more happier with how these turned out and how excited I am to mark them off my need list!
Warmin’ Up!
Derrick B (dlbiri1s on SCN) has helped me out at Cardinals Winter Warmup quite a few times over the years. This year he came through big time! I had sent three tickets and four cards to Derrick to get signed for me. I was hoping to get inscriptions on the tickets and Derrick came through!
The items I received today are:
David Freese 2011 World Series Game 6 ticket w/”Walkoff HR”
Masyn Winn ticket w/”MLB Debut”
Ryan Helsey ticket w/”Immaculate Inning”
Sonny Gray:
2022 Topps #US16
2023 Topps #78
2022 Topps Heritage #683
2023 Topps Heritage #149
Thanks a ton to Derrick! Can’t wait until next year!
Pags
I received a pair of packages in the mail today! The first was from Vinnie M (vinniemiller on SCN). Vinnie gets me a lot of autographs of players who roll through Seattle. I only sent him items for the Twins series this year. He waits until the season is over to do his mail and return the items. So, today’s package was:
Jhoan Duran- 2023 Topps Heritage #294
Jorge Lopez- 2023 Topps Heritage #240
Joe Ryan- 2023 Topps Heritage #29
Emilio Pagan- 2023 Topps Heritage #415
Kenta Maeda- 2022 Topps Heritage #724
Jovani Moran- 2022 Topps Heritage #697
Jovani Moran- 2022 Topps #387
Joe Ryan- 2022 Topps #US222
Matt Wallner- 2023 Topps #448
The other package was from Guy P (gpuglia on SCN) who had a private signing with Mike Pagliarulo. I had a pair of full tickets from Game 3 of the 1991 ALCS and had him inscribe them with “Game Winning HR”. They turned out better than I expected with Mike’s long name on a skinny ticket. I was a bit nervous how it would look but they look awesome!
