Tom Orr (orr23mj on SCN) has had numerous signings with Rod Carew over the years. He had a private signing lined up for February, 2024 but Rod’s health was not that great so it was delayed. Seeing Rod in Cooperstown made me understand first hand why. Rod was feeling better and Tom met with him and got my two cards signed and I received them today. At this point I think I have everything signed by Rod I have unsigned for my collection. That is until a new Twins card is released. The cards I got signed are:
2022 Allen & Ginter #145
2022 Topps Andy Friedman #32
As always with Tom, they are signed perfectly.
A Quadfecta
In what is probably the final package of the season (unless he hits a couple more this last week), Chris L (ChrisL999 on SCN) hooked me up with a pair of baseballs and a pair of cards for the collection.
The baseballs are signed by:
Ethan Anderson
Vance Honeycutt
The cards are:
Gio Urshela 2022 Topps#US130
Carlos Correa 2024 Topps #155
It has been a fantastic season of items Chris got me for my collection. There could be one more biggie. Stay tuned!
What a Sport
Brian Kritz recently posted some older signed Sport magazines for sale on a Facebook group. I have purchased items from Brian in the past and he does a great job on things.
The package I received today included:
02.1952 Al Dark
05.1953 Bob Lemon
02.1955 Al Dark
05.1959 Hank Bauer @ 2
These guys all signed through the mail but I did not get into Sport magazines until after they passed away so it was real nice to be able to add these to my magazine collection.
Jeffers
I recently purchased a 2024 Topps Ryan Jeffers #344 card from Pete Lane via Facebook. It arrived today and helps me with the 2024 Twins team set!
