Today I received a pair of baseballs I purchased from Joey S (LegendOfJoey on SCN). He was liquidating some nice baseballs for a great price so I jumped on these. One is a Gary Sheffield TriStar authenticated baseball and the other is Jonathan India. They look awesome.
A Butcher, A Baker, A Candlestick Maker…
Today I received the last Scott Baker card I needed to complete my run of his Twins cards. Calvin S (calripken88 on SCN) reached out and noticed I needed the 2012 Topps #276 card for my signed collection. He got it signed when Scott was rehabbing in Daytona when he was with the Cubs. With this card, I am down to needing just one to complete the 2012 Topps Twins set. That card is the Johan Santana AL All Time ERA Leaders card (#232).
Miller Time!
Today I received a ticket stub I mailed out a while ago. It was from the Twins vs Yankees game on August 10, 1977 when Damien Miller made his Major League debut. Damien include “ML Debut” as I requested on the ticket and used the blue Sharpie I provided. All told, it took 196 days to get it back.
Mike Torrez!
Today I received a pair of Sports Illustrated magazines signed by Mike Torrez. The issue is from 09.24.2018 and shows a photo of him giving up Bucky Dent’s home run in 1978. One is now complete with Torrez, Bucky Dent, Carlton Fisk, and the umpire Don Denkinger. The other issue is missing just Fisk. I have another issue missing just Torrez but since this was the first time working with Jeff C (JB Autographs on Facebook), I did not want to put all my eggs in one basket so to speak. I am very pleased with how these turned out!
