A Royal-ly Great Day!

Today I received a great package from my man Kent B (doggle3 on SCN).  Kent has helped me in the past with getting items signed for the Royals and also their visitors.  So, for the last three series in KC I sent him some items to get signed.  He did not let me down!

He got the following:
Torii Hunter:  2004 Topps #704- The last Hunter Topps card I needed!
Francisco Liriano:  2012 Topps #517- The last Liriano Topps card I needed!
Hank Conger:  Debut ticket
Jason Kipnis:  Debut ticket
Lonnie Chisenhall:  Debit ticket
Orlando Hudson:  Cycle ticket
Mike Scioscia:  02.24.2003 Sports Illustrated
Prince Fielder:  08.29.2011 Sports Illustrated
Paul Konerko:  10.03.2005 Sports Illustrated

Real nice quality of autographs and great care taken with my items!  I look forward to next season to work with Kent to add more awesome items to the collection!

Gran día de correo!

Today was a “Gran día de correo!”.  Or, in English, a “Great day of mail!”.

I added a really neat baseball to my Call Ball Collection.  I sent a request to Twins Spanish broadcaster Alfonso Fernandez asking him to write his excited call of Jim Thome’s 12th career walk off home run back on August 17, 2010.  It is a really neat baseball for the collection!

I also received five MLB prospects on baseballs my guy Paul C got me from the Florida Instructional Leagues.  He picked up the following baseballs for me:
Byron Buxton
Levi Michaels
Max Kepler
Blake Swihart
Michael Ohlman
These guys are all highly rated prospects and should be in the Major Leagues some day.

Chooch-ie Chooch-ie Coo!

It was been quite a while since I received something in the mail that I could post on here!  I am excited to be able to say today I received two Sports Illustrated magazines signed by Carlos “Chooch” Ruiz from a private signing.  Bill M (nosamm on SCN) had Ruiz come to his store in New Jersey for a signing and I sent in the magazines for it.  It finished one issue that featured Ruiz and Rocco Baldeli that I already had signed by Rocco.  The other issue was a regional issue available in the Philadelphi area.  They turned out great!

The Future Twins

Today I received three baseballs I recently purchased from Ryan C (rycomstock on SCN) of players who are highly rated prospects within the Twins organization.  The three I got are:
Byron Buxton
Miguel Sano
Oswaldo Arcia
The Buxton baseball included “2012 2nd Pick” as he was the second overall pick and the Arcia ball included his middle name Celestino.  I am excited to have these future guys in my collection.  One of the coolest parts is that Ryan put me in contact with a person living in Ft Myers, FL and is going to work on getting some more autographs at the Instructional League games.  Watch for more Twins prospects coming soon!
