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!
Not a (T)witt
I have received a large number of items over the years that Chris L (ChrisL999 on SCN) has gotten players to sign for me but this might be one of the biggest. Chris got field passes for the Royals at Nationals at the end of the season and was able to wrangle Bobby Witt Jr to sign my debut ticket. This turned out amazing and it a beautiful addition to my ticket collection. Bobby had one of the top months of offensive output this season and will continue to get even better. He will be one of the finalists for AL MVP probably losing out to Aaron Judge but he will get his chance soon enough. Chris also included a Dylan Crews debut ticket he got signed for me a few days prior to the Witt.
Pretty awesome package! Thanks for everything this season, Chris! Can’t wait until next year!
A Serving Trey
Todd B (moselder71 on SCN) had a signing with Trey Mancini recently and was able to get my debut ticket signed. Trey signed it with “MLB Debut”. It looks great!
