Sports Illustrated Trade

Today I received four Sports Illustrated magazines in a trade with Tim M who I have traded SIs with every year or so for the past few years.  We each trade doubles with each other so add to our collections.  This time I got one new one and a three upgrades to what I have in my SI collection.  The issues I got are:
07.21.1999 Tigers Stadium issue – Marty Castillo
05.28.1984 Alan Trammell
10.25.1982 Lonnie Smith
02.23.1970 Denny McLain
Thanks for the trade Tim!

Wild Thing!

Today I attended an event I never thought in a million years I would go to.  The Wizard World Comic Con is in town and Charlie Sheen was appearing to sign autographs.  I was not going to go to this but had a 5″x7″ card that Topps put out a few years ago as part of their 25 Year Anniversary set for Major League.  I posted on SportsCollectors.net that I was looking for someone to get the card signed for me.  I received a message from Chriss P (bigpog on SCN) that Charlie was going to be in the Twin Cities and he had a couple Major League movie posters he needed signed and asked if he paid for my autograph and admission ticket and his two tickets if I would get them signed for him.  I had nothing planned today so I went.  I have to say that Charlie was one of the coolest people I have ever met in that situation.  He noticed I was a little nervous that I did not want things to get messed up and looked at me and smiled and said “Man, I don’t bite!”.  I explained I was a little excited and that Major League was one of my most favorite movies and he replied “Thank you!  That is very kind of you to say that.”  Once he was done he shook my hand and thanked me.  I really don’t drink but I bet he would be a blast to hang out with over a beer or two.  I am excited to add his signature to my baseball collection.

Prospects

Today I received a package from my Florida State League prospect guy Paul C.  In it was six baseballs signed by the following:
Ke’Bryan Hayes
Taylor Hearn “Go Pirates”
Will Craig “1st Round Pick 2016”
Max Pentecost
Austin Riley
Ronald Acuna
Paul always does a great job for me and these are awesome baseballs!

New Twins!

Today I received a few cards I bought that Dustin N (Royals_Chiefs on SCN) got signed when the Twins were in Kansas City last week.  These cards look great!  They are all 2017 Topps Heritage and signed in blue Sharpie.  The cards I got are:
95 Eduardo Escobar
206 Robbie Grossman
243 Byron Buxton
271 Jason Castro
337 Ervin Santana
Nice to fill in some more for my 2017 Topps Heritage team set!
