Today I received a 2001 Topps Twins team card #768 that I purchased from Jonathan M (dabulls on SCN). It was signed by Johan Santana, JC Romero, Kyle Lohse, and one other I could not determine. I was in it for Johan. Since it is a glossy card, I was easily able to remove the other three autographs. This left me with a real nice Johan Santana signed team card for a $3 purchase! Not bad!
And you are…
Today I received a card I purchased from Stan P (stanesq on SCN). It was a 1997 Topps Chuck Knoblauch. Chuck has gone into hiding for the most part in recent years and if he does do a show it is a private signing with exorbitant prices. This card was signed beautifully by Chuck in blue Sharpie. It brought me back to the old bit on the KQ Morning Show when Check was interviewed. It went something like this:
Interviewer: “And you are…”
Chuck: “Chuck Knoblauch!”
Interviewer: “Chuck Knoblauch… Can’t thank you enough for all the time!”
That was the entire interview. Pretty funny.
C Parm!
Today I received a 2015 Topps card signed by Chris Parmelee. I sent it back when he played in Norfolk for the Orioles AAA team. Chris is always one of the nicer players who respond to their fan mail and he did not fail me this time. Thanks Chris!
Ichiro!
Today I received a package of a couple Sports Illustrated magazines that Mark C (psugator01 on SCN) got signed during the Marlins season and the Perfect Game event down in Florida. The Ichiro SI was his first issue, 05.28.2001. The other magazines were both already signed by Charlie O’Brien and Mark got John Cangelosi to sign them. That issue is from 05.23.1994.
