Today’s mail brought a couple great packages of autographed items.
The first I opened was a great package from my pal Kyle S (esiason14 on SCN). In it was a card I traded for (SGC slabbed 1962 Topps Jack Kralik), and a couple cards I bought (PSA slabbed 1962 Topps Earl Battey and 1962 Topps Billy Martin). Kyle decided to change his focus of his collection and instead of working towards the 1962 signed set work on other things. Knowing I collect Twins cards he contacted me first to see if he had anything I needed. As always, thanks Kyle!
The other package was the items I sent to Kevin W (kdubs on SCN) that he got signed at the Cardinals Winter Warm Up (like Twinsfest) event. In it was a 05.27.2013 Sports Illustrated signed by Shelby Miller and Lance Lynn. Also was two baseballs signed by Trevor Rosenthal and Matt Carpenter. I had sent a Michael Wacha debut ticket but they sold out before Kevin could by a ticket for him. I also sent a ticket stub from Game 3 of the 2013 World Series to get signed by Allen Craig but it fell out of Kevin’s notebook thankfully while he was at home (he thought he lost it at the event) but as a result did not get signed. Thanks for the great autographs and your efforts at the Winter Warm Up Kevin!
