Today I received a package from Chris P (medic-34 on SCN). Chris is working on getting all the Topps cards with the Rookie Cup logo on them signed and I happened to have a few of them he needed. Our trade worked out that I received the following cards that I upgraded:
65T Gerry Arrigo card well centered with inscription
70T George Mitterwald nice blue sharpie
79T Glenn Adams in blue sharpie
82T Fernando Arroyo in blue sharpie
00T Chad Allen, little darker blue sharpie
He also sent me some 2000 Greats of the Game that were upgrades to mine that I sent him back the ones I had. Those are: Ben Oglivie, Mel Stottlemyre, and Dave Righetti.
This was a fun trade where I was able to upgrade some cards. Thanks Chris!
Eye On Ian
Today I met up with Nick K who went to the hotel where the Rangers were staying and got a pair of baseballs signed by Ian Desmond and Chi Chi Gonzalez. Both turned out beautifully. The Desmond was one of the best autographs I have seen him provide. I am real pleased with these baseballs. Thanks Nick!
My Byung Ho
Today I received a baseball card I bought from Chad L (TheChad on SCN) that he got signed in Rochester at a Red Wings game. Chad got the 2016 Gypsy Queen #141 Byung Ho Park card signed so I added it to the collection today! Thanks Chad!
Cutch 22
Today I received a pair of magazines I had sent in to a Pirates signing event put on by Hunt Auctions which featured Andrew McCutchen. I never sent to them for anything so I was a little curious to see how it would go but I was blown away. The communication throughout was as perfect as were the autographed magazines! Lisa W did a great job in getting my items signed and back to me.
The Sports Illustrated issues I got signed were dated 09.09.2013 and 09.08.2014.
Cutch is one of the favorite non-Twins players in our household so we are all excited to add him to the collection!
