A while ago I picked up some Wild Horse cachets with the intent of sending them off to get signed. I recently found then and send off the envelope featuring Dan Gladded and Greg Olson from the 1991 World Series collision where Greg is balancing on his head. Today I received it signed by Greg. I will await a Gladden private signing to finish it up!
Joe HOF Package #2
Yes. Today is Columbus Day and no mail service but my mail carrier showed up this morning with a signature request for my second Joe Mauer package from FanHQ’s private signing! I excitedly signed for the package and ripped it open! Inside were the following items:
HOF Logo baseball signed under the logo
HOF Logo baseball signed under the logo with HOF 2024
HOF postcard I picked up and got stamped in Cooperstown during induction weekend with HOF 2024
My actual HOF induction ticket that I got stamped (I hope to someday get the other three inductees on the ticket to sign it)
I am really excited to see my third package that should arrive tomorrow! You won’t want to miss that one!
Joe HOF Package #1
FanHQ does an awesome job on the guests they have in for signing events. That is why I had no hesitation to send in a bunch of Joe Mauer items for Joe’s first signing post HOF induction. I actually sent in three different package and received notification that all three shipped. What is ironic is that it looks like each of the three packages will arrive on three consecutive mail days!
Today’s package included the last of the three I sent in. This involved a baseball that has his HOF induction logo on it. It is really cool and I had a fun time tracking these baseballs down at the ballpark with my brother. Joe signed it beautifully under the logo and included HOF 2024. Can’t wait for the other two packages to arrive!
Great Cesar’s Ghost!
Cesar Tovar was a great MLB player for many teams but is most known for his years as a Minnesota Twin. Cesar played all nine positions in the same game while a player for the Twins.
He is also the last card I need to complete my 1972 Topps Twins set. Well, not any more! Brian Kritz reached out to me about the card and I told him it was the last one I needed and would love to purchase it from him. It was not cheap, probably the most money I paid for a card for my Twins collection, but it wraps up my 1972 team set!
