Today’s mail brought a great package from a local signing I could not attend. Jamie B (jamieblye on SCN) took care of getting Paul Molitor to sign a full season ticket from his 3,000th hit game with inscription for me. He also added Brooks Robinson to my 10.19.1970 Sports Illustrated magazine. I now have had three guys on the cover to sign it!
A Cuddy and a Pair of Aggies
Today I received a pair of envelopes with signed cards in them. The first was from a private signing Shaun H (via fanhqstore.com) with Michael Cuddyer. Unfortunately, I screwed up and sent in a card I already had signed. I needed one more card and it turned out I sent in one I already had. I will wait for the next signing Shaun has with Cuddy to get the 2011 Allen & Ginter card signed.
The other envelope contained a pair of Rick Aguilera cards that Jesus C (jeserone on SCN) got signed for me at a recent event where Aggie attended. Jess lives in California and has hooked me up in the past. The two Aggie cards are the last two I needed for my signed Twins card project. They are the 1998 Topps #95 and the 1999 Topps #158. Both were signed beautifully in blue Sharpie.
Handy Andy
Today I received a pair of envelopes. One was a request I sent to former Twin Allan Anderson. I needed one more Anderson card to complete all my Topps Twins card needs and he took care of my real quick. I added the 1991 Topps card to my collection.
The envelope was a few cards I bought from Jim O (spark1989 on SCN). Those cards were the following:
1968 Twins Team signed by Jim Holt, Bruce Look and George Mitterwald
1970 Twins Team signed by Frank Kostro, Tom Tischinski, George Mitterwald and Stan Williams
1971 Twins Team signed by Jim Holt, Jim Perry and George Mitterwald
1971 Jim Kaat
1973 Jim Kaat
Both of the Kaats were upgrades to what I already had.
Edgar!
Today I received an SI I sent in to a private signing back on February 17th. Tom O (orr23mj on SCN) has diligently been working with Edgar Renteria waiting for him to come to the States (he lives out of the country) and the day finally came where Tom could meet up with him and get the items signed. My item is a 11.03.1997 issue celebrating the Marlins’ World Series win. It looks great and was well worth the wait!
