Today I received a card I bought from Courtland S (cort10 on SCN). Courtland got Pedro Florimon to sign a 2014 Topps #568 card for me. Since he was no longer with the Twins, I am glad to knock this one off the need list! Thanks Courtland!
Joltin’ Joe
No, not THAT Joltin’ Joe but one of my favorite Joe’s in baseball, Joe Mauer. Today I received a pair of Joe Mauer cards that my friend Paul C got signed during spring training this year. He got:
2012 Topps #535
2006 Topps All Star #UH271
I have another package of baseballs coming from Paul shortly. Thanks for all your work Paul!
Not A Bor(as)ing Package!
Today I received a baseball from Christian B (hheroes10 on SCN) who recently got back from Arizona after a week there. He was unable to get any of the items I sent to him signed but did sell me some baseballs he got signed this spring and previous springs by other players. The balls I got today are:
Clint Frazier w/”Indians #1 Pick”
Chris Sale
Jedd Gyorko
Leonys Martin
Raisel Iglesias
Scott Boras
While I am not a fan of Scott Boras’ tactics when negotiating for his clients, I do think he, much like Dr Frank Jobe and Dr James Andrews, have an amazing influence on the game.
It was a real nice box of baseballs!
Hurt Me!
Today I received a baseball signed by Frank Thomas. Leaf Authentics was running a special on them and could not pass it up. I got one from them a couple weeks ago that had the “Big Hurt” inscription. This one today has “HOF 2014”. Not bad at all!
