Today I received a package of baseball from Chris L (ChrisL999 on SCN). Chris is moving and these were some baseballs from his collection that he was selling because he was moving to a smaller place. He was kind enough to give me first shot at these. I do not know where Chris gets his baseballs to get signed but the quality is really better than what I get. All the baseballs are so smooth and the ink sits on them really nice. These baseballs are absolutely beautiful and are awesome additions to my collection. Today’s package included:
Kyle Tucker
Triston McKenzie
Francisco Mejia
Blake Rutherford
Isan Diaz
Avisail Garcia
Kenta Maeda
JT Realmuto
Man, Chris does an amazing job! Thanks brother!
Just The Artifacts, Part II
I had another 4 minutes of fame tonight. After my previous appearance on the Twins Pregame Show, Just The Artifacts, I was called back to talk about my Story Balls and Call Balls. Today the Twins aired the Story Balls part. Next Friday will have the Call Balls part.
For now, here is the Story Ball part that aired tonight. Enjoy!
Major League Hunter
Today I received a pair of packages of items for the collection. You may remember that I got a 5″x7″ Major League card signed by Charlie Sheen when he was in town and bought a Chelcie Ross one. Today I got a pair from the set that Chris R (rifon on SCN) got signed at a recent signing event for Tom Berenger and Corbin Bernsen. That leaves just two cards I need to finish the set. Unfortunately once has passed away. I will work on finding that one!
The other package had a 2015 Allen & Ginter #195 Torii Hunter card that Zachary C (clarkzac on SCN) got at the Twins Hall of Fame breakfast event. I am excited to knock that one off the need list.
A Fair Time
Today was the first day of the MN State Fair for me. I took the kids along and we had a good time. It worked out that Byron Buxton and Eddie Rosario were there and we got a few autographs from both of them. The kids got me a couple cards I needed as well as items for their own collections. The cards I ended up with were:
Byron Buxton- 2017 Topps Now Road To Opening Day
Byron Buxton- 2017 Topps Now 08.18.2017 13.85 Seconds Inside the Park HR

Cami got a couple photos signed by Buxton and Caden got a Buxton card for his collection.
We all had a great day at the Fair but to get to meet Twins players makes it so much more fun!
