Today I received an awesome package of baseballs I purchased from Sid’s Graphs. I first heard of Dennis Sidler when I purchased some baseballs from him years ago on eBay. I recently found his website and placed an order. Today I received the following baseballs:
Arismendy Alcantara PSA Rookie
Carlos Correa PSA Rookie
Kevin Gausman – PSA Rookie
Jonathan Schoop PSA Rookie
Andrelton Simmons – PSA
Mark Melancon
I am really excited to add these to my collection and look forward to placing another order with Dennis soon!
May I Have a Pino, Please?
Today was, as is every Sunday home game for the Twins, Kids Day. That means two players will be signing autographs before the game for kids. That also means if I have tickets to the game, Cami is going with me. So, we got to Target Field and got in line. Turns out Cami was the second kid in line. The players signing were the two starters in yesterday’s double header, Trevor May and Yohan Pino. Cami was excited when she heard that because she has neither on her baseball. She does now! Both signed her baseball real nice and even smiled to Cami after she thanked them. It was a LONG day at the ballpark and the Twins lost but the day started with a pair of autographs for Cami!
Yet Another Batch of Prospects
Today I received another package of baseballs from prospects in the Florida State League that my friend Paul C got. Paul has gotten me a ton of baseballs signed the last few years from all sorts of prospects and he does a great job.
The players in this package are:
Roman Quinn w/”Go Phillies!!”
Billy McKinney
Kyle Schwaber
Tyrell Jenkins w/”2010 1st Round”
Luke Weaver w/”1st Round Pick”
Gavin Checchini w/”1st Rd 2012″
Sadly, this is probably the last batch of autographs for a while from Paul as the minor league seasons are wrapping up for the year. I cannot wait until spring training when Paul will again get more autographs for me!
Mauer Power
Today I received a pair of Joe Mauer Topps Heritage cards I bought from Matt W (invctrl on SCN). Matt got me a bunch of cards signed on consignment the last couple years during spring training and these Mauer cards were signed this spring training in Ft Myers. The cards I bought were:
2011 Topps Heritage #250
2012 Topps Heritage #186
I cannot wait to send Matt more cards for spring training 2015!
